"BOINKING JOHN MALKOVICH" SETS NEW MONDAY TRAFFIC RECORD
LOS ANGELES, April 25 -- The Daily Boink!, LLC announced today that its April 24 boink!, "Boinking John Malkovich," set a new Monday traffic record on the firm's flagship Web site, The Daily Boink! (http://www.dailyboink.com).
The record-setting boink!, submitted by Caleb-Malachy Werner of Toronto, Canada, logged 50 pageviews in its first day of posting. "Boinking John Malkovich" features a medium-sized cutout of John Malkovich's head getting boinked by a smaller John Malkovich head, echoing the surreal hilarity of the sequence in "Being John Malkovich" in which John Malkovich enters his own portal.
The site's all-time highest traffic-getter is still "Mexiboink!", which was posted Friday, April 14, and has received 278 pageviews thus far. "Mexiboink!" features an iconic Mexican cartoon character wandering in the desert and receiving a boink on the head from a potted cactus.
"We were really concerned that 'Boinking John Malkovich' wouldn't do well because of the time that has elapsed since the movie's release," said Elsa Signore, VP Editorial of The Daily Boink! "I guess we were wrong. Now we're re-orienting the site's content plan to include more topical boinks!"
As part of the site's new direction, Signore and her staff posted "Boinking Elian Gonzalez" on April 25. "We really think this approach will boost traffic and help us capture a greater share of the boink-to-boink online space," she commented.
The Daily Boink! (http://www.dailyboink.com) represents the next step in the evolution of B2B (boink-to-boink) Web sites. Its mission is to grow the online audience for gag-a-day hilarity through daily boink! animations.
The Daily Boink! is owned and operated by The Daily Boink!, LLC, a 15-employee firm based in Santa Monica, Calif. The Daily Boink!, LLC recently completed its first round of financing, raising $40 for its domain name registration and first month's hosting fees.
