Cracked Round-Up: Funspiracies Edition!
There's no reason the total subjugation of the human race has to be a downer! Cracked has been contracted by the New World Order and the Not Excessively Far World Order in a new kind of media campaign. We'll be showcasing the fun side of being utterly dominated by a cryptofascist octopus of jackboots and tear gas. Watch for our new comic series- Simon the Orderly Citizen!
Our week rolled off the line with 6 A-Holes You Meet In Every Game by Luke McKinney. He was followed by Kristi Harrison's look at insane vintage cigarette ads and this guide to why you're not funny by Chris Bucholz. Soren explained why it's so hard to make Superman interesting while Diana Cook offered helpful job interview tips. John Cheese explained the warning signs that age has finally hit you before Brockway wound us down with amazing video game moments that happened by accident. Ali Reed closed off our week with the four things we should remember when arguing about politics.

Notable Comment: "Yeah, I don't think the Ted Turner one was all that bad. Kind of dickish to compare it to little league though. The article points out that "of course" he lost the game he managed like that validates any point. Really? It was one game. A last place team lost a game, what a shocker! Obviously it was because Turner was the manager."
BillBraskie, it is our job as human beings to discourage Mr. Turner whenever possible.

Notable Comment: "I like how so many commenters are like "well, my grandpa ate bacon and lard sandwiches every day of his life and lived to be 90, so clearly this is all bullshit." It's like saying "well, I know this one guy who hit the mega millions lottery, so those printed odds are clearly bullshit."

Notable Comment: "If we didn't have to breathe, and we could repair our bones, we could live on the moon."
That's correct, Jurp. And then all the rich people would move to the moon and breathing air would suddenly be "lame". They'd call you shit like "lungie" and "air-face" and we'd be forced to turn the moon into a missile dumpster.
