Cracked Round-Up: Shut Up About the Mayans Edition
Okay, this whole '2012 Mayan doomsday prediction' thing was funny for about two months back in '09, and it got funny again for a little while last November. But it's boring and played out and the sheer volume of attention it gets makes us suspect that some people out there are actually taking it seriously. Did no one learn anything from Harold Camping?
Seanbaby got the comedy ball rolling with the most half-assed villains in Superfriend history. Being on that list is an accomplishment, since the entire series has maybe forty minutes of labor devoted to it. Luke McKinney gave us the worst alibis in crime history and Christina listed even more types of bad drivers. Following up was Soren Bowie, who got this close to becoming a teen heartthrob. Robert Brockway took a stand for the much-maligned gaming industry while Chris Bucholz made us almost believe he'd spent time in a gym. Dan O'Brien closed us off with a depressing look at what could have been.
