Also, Nemo got himself in trouble because he was fed up with Marlin's distrust.

Also George wasn't commiting suicide out of a selfish desire to end it all, he was committing suicide due to Potter's comment about "being worth more dead than alive." He was trying to get insurance money when his own ability to support his family was fading.

Seriously, does Cracked just hate It's A Wonderful Life all of a sudden? "Oh no, it's a popular movie, we need to cater to cynical hipsters by talking about how shitty it really was for clicks!".

Funny enough this movie should be rerun a few times because this is exactly what is happening to a lot of people.

You know what Cracked need?
Ratings system for the articles.

That's an impressive amount of missing the point, Cracked.

I consider myself a Cracked apologist, but Jesus, there's no defending that one.

Cracked with a rating system only means that JF Sargent, ATB and Wong will get a streak of low scores.

I'm wondering what just happened to this site. IT used to be both fun and insightful.

Run out of cool science/mythology/history stuff?

Yes, that's what I think. There's only so much funny and interesting stuff to write about in the world.

Maybe the editors are too sure of their viewer base so they don't do much quality checking anymore.

I'll give the article a 1/5 because I did still find the Oz example funny.

At least we may get a cool article about the tenth ninth planet recently found!
I don't really read Cracked anymore, but I gave the movie article a look, just to see how bad it was.
It'd be bad enough if it just completely misunderstood the themes. But no, it goes the extra goddamn mile of actually acknowledging the intended theme only to go "Fuck that noise. Now here's the real shit."
It really does just reek of cynical hipster clickbait.

I'm often not a fan of Cracked's "new direction", but let's put down the pitchforks for a moment. It's hardly like all Cracked ever puts out are pandering, condescending, self-important opinion pieces masquerading as articles (like a fifth, tops). There's still plenty of good, especially in the personal experience articles, but also with informational as well as entertaining stuff (even if ye olde freaky nature/weird history articles and stuff like Seanbaby's and Brockway's crazy antics are getting increasingly less common). Fact checking is generally recommended, though — the comments are really good for that.

Honestly, I feel like the comments surpass the articles themselves in entertainment sometimes.
And of course I had to also read the linked article about flesh-eating bacteria.

I have two cousins practicing medicine as doctors, I heard all the stories, I am surprised the article didn't include pulling bottles and things that aren't supposed to be inserted into body cavities and the insane amounts of alcohol fueled sex hijinks injuries.

Regarding the movie stuff...Cracked has long since forgotten that in order to be funny observational comedy the observations must actually be correct.
Or you're just listening to some guy on the Internet bitch snark about something he doesn't know anything about.
And I already have Tumblr for that.
I'm pretty sure all Cracked writers are hipsters.
Misanthrope Supreme
Their cinema articles sure makes you feel like this is the case. I mean, every time a popular film (or at least one that a lot of people go watch) is coming out, they almost systematically take a "IT SUUUUUCKS" stand.
The only exception in recent times is Mad Max Fury Road, there's at least that.

I'm surprised Video Game Analysts aren't on that list.
I clicked on '5 Reasons to Hate Professional Sports' because the date on the homepage said Jan 23, 2016. I read it all the way through (it was meh, I don't like JF Sargent's style), but then one of the comments said that it was a year-and-a-half old, so I went back to the homepage and the date was Aug 19 2014.
I'm pretty sure this is the 2nd time I've been fooled like that, but I also didn't think to take pictures for proof. Has anyone else noticed gaslighting, or am I just unobservant?

OK, I read the entry on It's A Wonderful Life, and all I have to say about it: FUCK YOU.
Seriously, did you not even WATCH the damn movie?
