Cracked Round-Up: Hog Wrestling Edition

Cracked Round-Up: Hog Wrestling Edition

Every great corporation has its own internal mythos, based around the legends of its founding and key bits of office culture. Google employees go to Burning Man every year, Twitter employees enjoy beer on tap and here at Cracked we have hog wrestling. We know what you're thinking, and it isn't just some unthinkably cruel bloodsport designed to amuse capricious crowds. Hog wrestling is how we settle all internal disputes, professional conflicts and the succession of power. The rules are simple: each combatant must wrestle a hog of no less than three hundred pounds to the ground and pin it for a full ten seconds. To date, no Cracked employee has succeeded in besting his or her hog. But we've developed an elegant method for settling ties- four bullet Russian Roulette.

Next, peer into the dark side of the 1980s with Soren Bowie's investigation of missing sitcom moms and vent some steam at Christina's list of people who need to get out of the way. Then gain a little faith in mankind by reading Gladstone's list of brilliant movies by bad directors and promply lose it with Brockway's look at sci-fi dystopias we've built for animals.
