History Heartwarming / Cracked

* [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-hated-groups-that-are-going-out-their-way-to-be-awesome/ 5 Hated Groups That Are Going Out Of Their Way To Be Awesome]] This article not only includes several heartwarming stories about people doing good for the world (as well as several comments about the same groups), it features a Pet The Dog moment to bronies talking about several charity efforts and saying that their connection to MRAs was overblown. It's nice to see Cracked.com cutting some slack to one of their most common targets.

*** This article http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-easiest-money-youll-ever-make-honestly/ where John talks about how writing for Cracked changed his life for the better and encouraging readers to do the same because They have stories to tell and the guys who run the site want to hear Them.

* [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/how-dr.-who-became-my-religion_p2 How Dr. Who Became My Religion]]: Whovians, rejoice. Someone has put into very simple words a few of the more powerful reasons people love Dr Who.

* The May 2000 issue opened to a cartoon by Mike Ricigliano, showing former ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' artist Don Martin (who jumped ship to ''Cracked'' in the early 1990s) being told by St. Peter that "It's an honor to meet you. You've always been one of His favorite cartoonists. We consider you one of the truly great artists of the 20th century. Frankly, we could use a few laughs around here." Cue Don squirting St. Peter with a squirt flower.

* In a strange way, entry #1 in [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-10-most-insane-acts-violence-in-kickboxing-history_p2/The 10 Most Insane Acts of Violence in Kickboxing History]] is rather sweet. Seanbaby makes a kickboxing match sound like a beautiful love story.

* David Wong's "6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You A Better Person" starts out slightly jerkish, but becomes this towards the end when he tells people how they can make the world a better place, and not to worry about critics because they are simply too afraid to do things for themselves so they like to tear down others.

** Let us not also forget Wong's [[http://www.cracked.com/article_15231_7-reasons-21st-century-making-you-miserable.html 7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable]]. Most of his stuff qualifies, actually, but those two stand out above all the rest.

* Mandar Kush not only being reuinted with his family, but jumping in front of a car in an effort to save Daniella Ridley, the psychiatrist who got him out of the mental institution, from being run over. It shows just how far Kush has come, and just how grateful he is to have been given a second chance.
* Aiden's admission to his psychiatrist that, despite the fact that Daniella is not a cop, and does not carry a gun, he trusts her to have his back anyway.

** The last two bullet points in [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-things-rich-people-need-to-stop-saying_p2/ 6 Things Rich People Need to Stop Saying]]. As [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped (rightly)]] angry and cynical as most of that article is, the conclusion ends it on a surprisingly heartwarming message: even if you get rich, powerful and charismatic enough to change the world, you can ''never'' do it all alone; society doesn't progress because of the efforts of a handful of super-rich men, it takes all of humanity working together; accepting help from others doesn't make you weak -- it's the only way to make the world a better place.

*** This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEimCQvsHEY&feature=c4-overview&list=UUE2aO2h43T3BMggSZdX0CBw shows how John is now and how much happier he is. He is a successful comedy writer, he has multiple book deal offers and how life is just better now.

* This article http://www.cracked.com/blog/3-damaging-relationships-you-cant-get-away-from/ about the destructive relationships people all too often end up in with Family, work and Themselves. It seems bleak and cynical at first but each ends with a statement saying that it doesn't have to be like that: We don't have to be trapped in Our lives and feel like We're just enduring it all. The ending is almost a tearjerker:
"Whether or not anything comes from this, random words from a random Internet comedy writer, know that we're in a boat together, you and I. Whatever you want to do, I want you to do it. I really do, even though I can't possibly know who you are and what thing it is you want to accomplish, because I know what people are like when they take that chance and it pays off. I know the world benefits from people who achieve great things and are more at peace with themselves, and are happy and satisfied. I know it is good to be good and I want that for everyone as much as I want it for myself."
