First Judd Apatow launched an NBC.com page to promote his fake sitcom "Yo Teach!" that was itself a promotion for his upcoming film "Funny People." Now he's done it again, creating a Website (LaughYourDickOff.com), for Aziz Ansari's character Randy--a self-proclaimed superstar comic. The site features Randy's tour dates and thoughts on the crisis in Darfur, but most notably videos of Randy performing his stand-up. It's terrible.

This is all strange considering "Funny People" is a film about coming to terms with death and one's place in the world, and yet none of the advertising reflects that. Maybe they thought a "how long til you die" site wouldn't do as well.
