Cracked Round-Up: Happiness Week Edition
August is definitely the most depressing month, although May still holds the title for 'douchiest' month. To help you deal with the crippling sadness of the month God forgot, Cracked brought you a solid week of the most joytastic haptasmogoric awesomeness we could possibly pull from the withered hands of our starving writer pool. Read it, enjoy, and try real hard not to think too much about the fact that our dick jokes aren't free range.
Cracked started this week by celebrating a classic: Jaws 3D. David Wong explained why the news looks worse than it really is while Felix Clay shared small fights that got out of hand quickly. Daniel Dockery explored the movie special effects that get worse over time as Robert Brockway shared mysteries of everyday life that make no sense. Soren Bowie went on a police ride-along and gave justice a new name before John Cheese exposed the world to genius comedy hiding in plain sight on Youtube. Kristi Harrison closed Happiness Week with childhood traditions that would make adult life awesome.

Notable Comment: "Nuisance is a local hero in South Africa. The people loved him so much that there is a monument to him in the town where the Navy was based. He even had a 'wedding' ceremony to another Dane before they were sent off for some love making. Sadly, Nuisance died on his 6th birthday in a Navy hospital. He was buried in a full on Naval funeral ceremony. He is a real legend down this side."
And now, thefirefly89, he belongs to history.
