no wai!

I can't believe people care about 4chan.

Actually, I don't mind that people care about 4chan, it's that people care about /b/ in particular that pisses me off. That was always a shit place.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

but without 4chan I wouldnt have discovered this place

In that case, they did something constructive for once.

Note the "for once."

What about the Scientology thing?

Rock Paper Scissors

Dude, you wrote the 7 Bogeymen list? Holy crap, that's one of my favorites.

EDIT: And the worldwide vampires one! Remind me why I haven't talked to you before.

I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.

@Tsun: I suppose that qualifies, too. But shit like that epilepsy raid and crap?

Someone really needs to reign them in if they do crap like that again, although nowadays they seem much meeker and weaker, so perhaps such measures are not necessary.

They just wrote an article about Dropped a Bridge on Him.

This is not the first time I have a feeling that they just picked 5 examples from a TV Tropes page.

De gustibus non est disputandum.

I know more than a few Cracked editors are Tropers. Scythe Mantis is the only one that jumps to mind though.

Fight smart, not fair.

An article by a woman. Oh my, just look at the comments...

Also, another one of her articles - this one is too great to leave unlinked.

Edit: the first link did not italize, so I cut it shorter.

80s montages are the root of all evil. And David Wong fell for the Outliers thing.

Kill all math nerds

Probably my favorite Wong article.

Eh, Cracked is sometimes is funny, but I don't think that constantly saying "fucking" is funny. And its writing seems to expect that everyone is American.

And as liking of "creepy" critters, I don't like their "listing five so called 'horrifying' animal" lists... Some of them are pretty tame..(fricking coconut crab... I like those). I don't like it how some or jokes are "Augh! Screw animal activists! Lets kill this animal I won't ever see in my life because it creeps me out!"

...Though, some of lists ARE funny, but crappy ones are REALLY crappy.

@Magus: It's an alright article, but I would contest some points. Mostly, I hthink he's exaguarating certian things to make it fit, like the part about the nipple gate and sex. There is a order of magnitude in differnce between a accidental indecent exposure, and your loved one commmiting serial infidelity. Janet Jackson hadn't explicitly agreed not to show herself or only show herself to someone in particular only. A relationship is an agreement between the participants in it.

Also, the part 5. I would argue that there's also a magnitude of difference in saying "you will be punished after death for all eternetity" and "no-one gets any punishement or reward except what they get in life". And for part 9, the problem with religious moral is, that you accept it for some parts, you have to accept all the core parts, even the ones that don't make sense, because they are holy. There are, and can be, moral systems not dictated by religion. The article itself (and other reserach done on the subject) show that Atheists are no more likely to be criminal than religious people.

the statement above is false

Fastfood Meals for Failures. I love how self-deprecating and nihilistic the writer is, all of the fastfood abominations are likened to slow, painful suicide, particularly DOB'S Toilet-Bombing Heart-molester; the "big fat food Frisbee that killed God."

'I'll show him a martyr! I'm going to do die SO HARD'

Just look at that!

Paranoia fuel (especially the last one).

http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html

that was the article that got me hooked on the site.

One day, Cracked will make an article about insane TV Tropes Pages. On that day, the internet will collaps upon itself into a singularity of life absorbtion.

No, "Top 6 weirdest cracked.com lists"

the statement above is false

That'd be no different from any other article that keeps linking you around Cracked. If Cracked linked to TV Tropes multiple times....

*cocks imaginary gun*

And hey look, they're copying us wholesale again.

the statement above is false

Granted its very obvious that ripped off of us since they put a link to our site, but isn't it kinda what we wanted? To make people aware of tropes?

As long as they keep coming up with interesting things instead of just referencing the site.

Fight smart, not fair.
