A Labor Day Weekend Round-Up!

Boy, we work hard at the Cracked offices. Sure, we don't have to do any heavy lifting or moving of any kind. And sure, the only real "work" we do generally involves watching TV and writing stupid dick jokes about whatever we see. And sure, we rarely even get out of our chairs. And, fine, we don't have uniforms or bosses or schedules or anything even resembling real jobs.

But it's Labor Day Weekend, dammit, and we are going to appreciate the hell out of ourselves with some hardcore barbecuing and some hardercore drinking.

Labor Day Rules!

COLDPLAY SUCKS!

The 7 Most Retarded Ways Celebrities Have Tried to Go Green Finally, a reasonable argument to support our "Destroy Coldplay to Save the Planet" campaign.

Notable Comment: Here's our impression of the comments: "Waaaahhh. Waaaaahhh blah blah blah Global Warming is a myth wwwaaaahhhhh Al Gore is gay waaaaahhhhhh toilet paper waaahhh Coldplay. Waaaaahhhhh

DORITOS RULE!

The 10 Most Shameless Product Placements in Movie History If we weren't so busy eating these delicious new Cooler Ranch Doritos, we'd write a letter of complaint to the studio heads right now. Instead, we'll just wash it down with an ice cold refreshing Diet Dr Pepper.

Notable Comment: CodyCastor says "I've posted like a thousand comments on this damn site, and have yet to receive any compensation from Domino's. I think Cracked is burgling my royalties. Eat Domino's pizza--it's slightly better than gas station burritos!" Haha, thanks Cody. You keep writing them, and we'll keep cashing Domino's sweet, sweet checks.

SCIENCE SUCKS!

5 Scientific Experiments Most Likely to End the World Well, Earth, you've had a good run, but it's about time to call it quits, don't you think? No? Well, we're gonna blow you up anway.

Notable Comment: T.C. says "I'm using the LHC as an excuse to get laid with as many hot girls as possible. "Baby, the world is gonna end!" *shows Cracked article*" Hm. Let us know the outcome of this. If girls are actually willing to bone based solely on an article here, that would, uh... that would be important information to pass onto all of the writers...

TWISTER SUCKS!

The 5 Lamest Disasters in Disaster Movie History In honor of Disaster Movie, which will also be a disaster, but of a completely different nature.

Notable Comment: Ruby_Tuesday_83 says "can I just point out nothing living can just stand beside lava then run away no matter how slow it's going. The temperature alone would burn that dogs face off." Uh, did you see the movie? A dog stood next to the lava, and then ran off with its face totally intact. So, to answer your question, No, you cannot point this out. Also, Ruby Tuesday sucks. Big time.

MOTHER GOOSE RULES!

Disturbing Origins of 5 Common Nursery Rhymes It's like 300, but for kids!

Notable Comment: For the second time in Cracked History, one poster will make the coveted Notable Comments section twice in one article! CodyCastor calls out basically everyone in the comment section when he says "The nursery rhyme_____isn't about_____. It's about the time when_____did_____to______way back in_____. I could have shot over to Wikipedia in a pathetic attempt to fill in these blanks and sound like I'm intelligent. I didn't, though, because being an expert on fucking nursery rhymes is nothing to be proud of. Assholes." It's like he can read our minds.
