Red-Hot Comic Hero Hot Stuff(TM) Goes Mobile With FunMail

FunMail Mobilizes Famous Comic Character Hot Stuff(TM) to Allow Users to Express Their Love and Humor via Mobile Phones

PLEASANTON, Calif., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FunMail and Classic Media are heating up wireless phones' screens nationwide with a launch of Hot Stuff, a famous comic magazine character. Classic Media, the New York-based family entertainment company that is home to Underdog and The Lone Ranger, has licensed the rights to FunMail, a leading wireless entertainment company, to provide a collection of wireless wallpaper images of the character. Through the deal, FunMail will enable millions of mobile phone users to personalize their handsets with exclusive Hot Stuff imagery.

Those Hot Stuff wireless wallpaper images produced by FunMail preserve the playful look of the character, a mischievous little devil that has the bubbly spirit of a little boy. Some of the sayings on the images include "I Love Hot Stuff," "Irresistible," "That's Hot!" "Catch Me," "Hot4U," "Red Hot Mama," "I Love You," "Hottie!" and more.

"Hot Stuff is a classic character that has tremendous retro appeal, and we are delighted to collaborate with Classic Media to bring this cool character to mobile users of all ages," said Adam Lavine, CEO of FunMail, Inc. "It's another fun and unique way for us to reach consumers and to better serve our wireless carrier partners." As usual, FunMail provides an easy-to-use interface, allowing handset users to browse, select, and send an image within just a few clicks anytime, anywhere.

Hot Stuff wireless wallpaper collection is available via FunMail's Wallpaper Universe and FunMail Wallpaper applications on a wide variety of handsets and carriers. The collection will be released on February 8, 2005.
