 PROFILE
Keeper of the National Lampoon flame, J2 Communications wants to turn yuk-yuks into big bucks. The company licenses the National Lampoon name for use in merchandising, movies, and TV programs. It hopes to form its future sales growth around the new nationallampoon.com Web site featuring original and classic National Lampoon content and an online store (apparel, books, videos). The struggling company also has inked deals with content syndicators like iSyndicate to help proliferate its content across cyberspace. Investors Daniel Laikin and Paul Skjodt, who together own about 23% of J2, plan to increase their ownership to 53%. Founder and chairman James Jimirro is selling his stake (nearly 20%) and stepping down.
