I swear that Cracked is going to save my ass when I'm in college.

I remember one time I spent the whole summer played Runescape as a kid.

Don't read cracked. It's very cynical, when it's not mean-spirited it's depressing, and you can just read the sites that Cracked cites as sources.

Don't get lost in endless articles about pop culture on a site that isn't Tv Tropes when you could be doing actual research.

Cracked is a humor site. Sounds like you just don't like their humor.

I don't like obscene humor. I also don't like humor sites that try to take themselves seriously and actually make a serious point. I also don't like Obscene humor. Did I mention that I hate obscene humor?

There are a few despressing articles on there. Then you have stuff like this.

"I don't like this type of humor" =/= "this site is bad". I have to admit I'm not a big fan of dick jokes either, but I find a lot of their articles interesting and funny.

Most of Cracked articles are a waste of time, but there are occasionally really awesome articles. I mostly just look at the ones with interesting sounding titles and skim them to see if htey're good.

Yeah, like any site, some of the articles are good, some are meh, and some are crap.

They're also sometimes informative.

Cracked is just annoying. A bit of snark is always welcome, but they take it too far, and then it turns into 'Oh, look at all these stupid people and the stupid things they believe! They're so wrong! And we're so right!' In other words, arrogant douchebaggery.

And then there's the general hysterical tone of their articles, and the blatant US-centrism (which makes the above particularly annoying - to European readers like me, Cracked articles often very smugly state things that make no sense whatsoever), and the total disregard for how nuanced or complex the scary theories they cite actually are, and the cynical generalisations... I could go on...

In short, they're cynical but not skeptical, and that pisses me off.

Cracked articles are some of the most entertaining ones in the internet.

Just don't take them too seriously.

pretty much this.

I had a brief idea for a story where Celestia enlists in a "Goddess Exchange Program."

She ends up briefly assuming the duties of other deities from other works, including Lady Palutena, Amaterasu, and Princess Rosalina (yes, she's a deity, she raises freaking STARS as children.)

Midnight I think that depends on the writer and varies from article to article.

Yeah, a good chunk of the articles are basically taking something and not taking it seriously at all. Most of the writers are fully aware that they have no real clue what they're talking about. The only thing you should take seriously are off-site links they have.

Some articles are good, some are bad, especially since different people write different articles.

I enjoy the ones that are based on bias and the media though.

I think I usually find the ones by John and Christina most interesting.

'lo.

@Zen FUND IT. I don't care how you get that story out there, it'll be absolutely freaking worth it to see Celestia in the Kid Icarus-verse.

Grüß Gott.

Aber ich will nicht traumen.

Yo no hablo el alemán.

Sag mir, wo finde ich diesen Stern? Ich gehe gleich schlafen, also brauch' ich jetzt schöne Träume!
