The Cracked Thread

Wait, what? Which one?

Fallout 3.

I'm more disturbed by the fact that these people are getting an awful lot of upvotes. Keep that in mind the next time someone claims the Cracked comment section is some kind of leftist circlejerk.

Though that's assuming the author's description of that pheromone thing is accurate, and considering what you're saying about the Kingdom Hearts entry...

It IS a circle jerk, just not entirely leftist

Did it get deleted? I'm looking at the comments and the highest rated Fallout 3 one is saying that it's a crime, but not a war crime. The next highest asks if there's really no other option, and responses that say that you don't even have to do the quest, and there are other options to do it, including talking to the guy and passing a speech check to get him to quit.

This is literally the exact opposite of what you think it'll be.

>Wong
>Trump

Pass.

Literally exact opposite.

I really recommend reading that one.

It's a genuinely good read.

This made me really happy.

Though the fact the two in the first entry both passed recently made it quite bittersweet, it was still very fun.

I take it back. That was one damned good article.

Totally hilarious...

Another article of the series: if a fiction writer wrote about this it would be shot down as unrealistic and unnecessarily brutal.

Congrats, Wong. You gave me the first well reasoned argument as to why people support trump. Mostly because it wasn't "look past the racism for a second and listen to what he says"

Great read, though depressing.

Something needs to be done to bridge the divide. But what could that be?

Education? I know that sounds like a flippant answer but I think learning how to arrive at a defendable conclusion is something that needs to be taught

Show that Trump is an even bigger city man than Hillary?

That's not really bridging the divide so much as finding a way to sink Trump.

Which he's doing just fine on his own, so...

That will probably play a role.

I think you're going to have to persuade the left to invest in the more rural areas. The trouble is, there's so much hostility on both sides, so I don't know if I can see that happening any time soon...

It would explain why Trump has a strong following yet is one of the most despised people on the internet.

Finally something on Cracked that I like that isn't After Hours or the Honest Ads playlist:

http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-one-good-thing-we-got-from-this-creepy-clown-craze/

"Over the past month, a scourge of feral clowns has spread across North America. Even innocent, maybe-hugs-bunnies-too-hard Canada is not immune, with schools being alerted by law enforcement that clowns are threatening to show up and do harm at any moment.

People see clowns on street corners. They stand near forests and lure children with the promise of candy or balloons or whatever the hell a clown might have in its onesie that's distracting enough to commit full-on murder. Everyone is terrified. Terrified of clowns. So thank you, clown plague. Thank you, Clown Hierarchy or Clown Parliament or Clown King. You've actually done us a solid. No, seriously.

You see, because of this creepy clown epidemic, Mc Donald's has decided to pull back public appearances of Ronald Mc Donald, effectively benching their 50-year mascot. For real, we can't thank this new rash of creepy clowns enough."

I hope you're listening, Mc Donald's!

I had no idea people hated Ronald that much.

I don't mind Ronald; a Non-Ironic Clown is fine by me. But I do think his attitude should be more sedated and his appearances more limited. You know, to not creep everyone the fuck out.

Ronald Mc Donald is Pennywise the Clown's day job. End of story.

Sometimes I think if your stuff is socially charged enough Cracked'll just let quality slide .

I doubt people have a sincere hate of Ronald it's just typical internet hyperbole.

A lot of people hate Ronald.

Mostly due to either the typical clown hatred, or because he's a kid appeal character who is trying to get people to eat unhealthy slop.

A generic dislike of clowns and/or fast food mascots makes sense.
