A Back to School Round-Up!

article image

Well, it's that time of year again. Time for everybody to go back to school. Well, not everybody. Not us for example. We're sitting around in our underwear making lists about pop culture, just like every other day of the year. So, while you're lugging a bunch of books around and studying and working hard, look on the bright side: We're not.


This week on the bloggingest blog that ever blogged, Gladstone's Hate By Numbers applauds Fox News for its journalistic integrity. With regards to cookies. Meanwhile, Bucholz presents you with some not-so-well-known facts about famous world leaders, while Swaim presents you with some not-so-true facts about some hopeful world leaders, and DOB asks to see Sarah Palin naked.



GIRL POWER?
Hollywood's 5 Saddest Attempts at Feminism
Dear Hollywood: When you try to write a strong female character, a) the men get bored and b) the women get offended. Please just keep making Robocop movies and everyone will be cool.

Notable Comment: erinyes says "Okay, i'm late to the party so let me be brief. The next time you insult River Tam, Zoe Washburne is going to kick your ass all the way around your sweaty fanboy offices. k?" We look forward to it. We'll even tie a hand behind our back to level the playing field for Zoe. (Because men are stronger than women!) And we'll put a wager to the fight: If we win, we get Zoe's paycheck and if she wins, we'll give half of our check. (They should be about the same amount because men will always make more money than women!) Aha, but seriously, we'll email Zoe a series of pictures that go over the ground rules for a fair fight. (Women are illiterate!) Oh, hey Erin, why were you 'late to the party' anyway? Cooking something? Was it because you're a terrible driver and couldn't find a spot? Something to do with your period? (Women are genetically inferior to men!) Whew. Boy, it feels good to wipe the taste of pro-feminism out of our mouths.



PRESIDON'TS!

It's comforting to know that everyone president was an asshole. Not just, you know. Ours.

Notable Comment: aberantdware says " Wow. This got WAY too serious for CRACKED. But it's good to read that cracked readers are a diverse and profound bunch." Uh...diverse and profound...huh. Are, uh...Are you referring to the Anchorman clones or the fat sex robots? Or the ones who barked "first"? Because, seriously, if you have found diverse and profound readers, we would love to see where they post their comments. Hey, speaking of idiotic commenters...

DAVID STERN IS TERRIFYING!

Also one of the Williams sisters is actually a clone. We'll never reveal which one. (Venus.)

Notable Comment: Wench says "This list was just made for my father. The only sport he seems to think isn't fixed these days is lawn bowls." This list was made for your father. What'd he think? Did he like it? He's really been the only audience we've ever wanted since day one. Did you like it? Do you want us to do more articles about lawn bowls? We can do that. We can totally do that.



TV BS!

I would actually like a few more articles on lawn bowls.

Posted on 9/7/2008 9:30:53 AM

I was sure I'd get an editor's pick this week. Damn it. I'm beginning to think you want funny stuff for the craptions.

Posted on 9/7/2008 5:10:34 AM

I still don't understand why the REAL craption for Rosie O'Donnell's head wasn't chosen -- too self-referential? The message: if you post early, you too will have the winning craption -- true, and still funny -- I know it worked for me - hah, I am the Sept 1st winner!

Posted on 9/6/2008 2:04:38 PM

Cracked and the commenters is like a really, really long-running marriage: we complain about their articles, they complain about our comments but the make-up sex is worth it. It would be hilarious if Cracked started deleting all the "FIRST" declarations.

Posted on 9/6/2008 1:14:52 PM

Thanks for reminding me of that cringe-worthy rap battle, Cracked.

Why DO you bother?

Posted on 9/6/2008 11:07:58 AM

U just did comment on it...

Posted on 9/6/2008 9:35:23 AM

I liked the round up toastking. I'm just not up to commenting on it, ok?

Posted on 9/6/2008 8:38:37 AM

The editor's pick for the Chinese craption is still better than those two "Not pictured: dignity" or "Where will you be when diarrhea strikes?" jokes which have been beaten to the ground, raped, and murdered, for the umpteenth time.

Posted on 9/6/2008 8:26:16 AM

what the hell is that chinese one? that editor's pick is the lamest craption i've ever seen. not clever or anything at all

Posted on 9/6/2008 8:11:22 AM
