Cracked Round-Up: A Message to New Graduates

By:

It's March once more, and a whole sampler platter of new college graduates are within sight of graduation. We'd like to speak to those bright, hopeful young souls now. You've probably heard a lot about how horrible the job market is right now, but don't get disheartened! With enough hard work and dogged vigilance, you can succeed.

But hard work and dogged vigilance don't put food on the table. So, as a public service, we'd like to give you some advice:

1. You can usually get two good knifes from one bar of soap.

2. Vodka disinfects knife wounds and acts as a painkiller.

3. California's homeless shelters are pretty boss.

Good luck out there!


If there's one thing TV in the '90s taught us, it's that people falling down is hilarious. Seanbaby proved that trend alive and well in the 21st century. David Wong got real with an open letter to the rich people of the world. Soren Bowie looked at feuds between the craziest of the crazy people and Luke McKinney proved that life can find a way anywhere. Christina took on the lies we tell to the Internet while Brockway separated the House's of the world from the regular, non-genius douchebags. John Cheese brightened the mood with a look at why today won't suck. Chris Bucholz capped our week with a sobering look into the world of journalism.

Morons."

Notable Comment: "They forgot one major, MAJOR one: Having sex with someone with HIV. Your chances of catching HIV/AIDS by sex with an HIV-positive person is less than one-tenth of one-percent. AIDS is usually transmitted through sharing needles."

Way to go, Egarrett. One more piece of anti-needle-sharing propaganda for the needle-hating media.
