Language is an evolving, organic thing. In casual use, I consider "funner" valid. It only sounds weird when you're not used to hearing it.

I'm in the "language evolves" camp, but I find "funner" to be pretty awkward. Oddly, I hear "funnest" a lot more often and it comes across a lot more naturally to me. I find it cloying/annoying for marketing copy to try to push the envelope like this.
