NEW YORK -- Ckrush, Inc. (OTCBB:CKRH), a producer and distributor of digital entertainment content, feature films and sports programming, has announced that it will hold a virtual news conference jointly with National Lampoon (Amex:NLN), today, Thursday June 1st at 12pm EST to discuss a milestone business alliance.

During the conference, Jeremy Dallow, President of Ckrush, and Barry Layne, Executive Vice President of National Lampoon, will update the financial community on this new media alliance formed to capitalize on new cross-platform entertainment opportunities through the development of films and digital media content targeted towards the highly profitable teen market.

Under terms of the agreement, Ckrush and National Lampoon will co-develop and distribute high-demand youth-oriented film titles through next-generation and traditional media platforms including home entertainment, pay-per-view, video-on-demand, digital downloads, pay cable, TV, and other channels of distribution.

"Ckrush is thrilled to announce this pact with National Lampoon, which will leverage the distinct media assets of both of our companies to reach an audience of millions within our targeted demographic," said Mr. Dallow. "We look forward to continuing our already successful relationship with National Lampoon."

Mr. Layne added, "By joining forces with Ckrush, it is clear that we will reinforce the power and recognition of the National Lampoon brand of humor, which is still going strong after three decades of success. In the 1970's and 80's, National Lampoon was the most widely read publication on college campuses, while today, the website, www.nationallampoon.com, is one of the most popular humor sites on the Internet. Now, our alliance with Ckrush will provide a foundation and launching pad for future comedy projects that we will create in all platforms, including motion pictures, television programming, multimedia audio, video, and a wide array of other youth-focused content. This is a very exciting moment for us all at National Lampoon and we expect to see huge returns on this venture."
