Cracked Round-Up: The Non-Prophet Edition

By:

Scratch this one, y'all. Corporate wanted us to start a charity aimed at housing the homeless or whatever. But some wires got crossed, the word "profit" was misspelled and we ended up burning Jason from Accounting alive because he looked sorta like Jesus. Our bad, J-dizzle.


Felix Clay kicked us off with a heartwarming article about why being in love is the devil. Winston Rowntree and Amanda Mannen were next, with a look at famous songs that prove musicians don't get science. Adam Brown followed up by revealing classic albums that get too much praise and Soren Bowie revised wise proverbs for the modern world. Luke McKinney uncovered the most expensive items in online gaming while Brockway reveled in all the ways the Internet is about to improve entertainment. John Cheese looked at corporate Twitter accounts gone wrong, followed by David Wong's list of mistakes every game company makes about gamers. Luis Prada showed us common technologies movie screenwriters never get right and Felix came back to show you how to ruin a sexual encounter. Seanbaby ended our week with the most insane video game accomplishments.

Notable Comment: "THE BIG LEBOWSKI is Not "the Citizen Kane of movies." Citizen Kane is "the Citizen Kane of movies." As for not noticing the symbolism in these movies it could be b'cuz I've never bothered to see any of them."
