To satisfy my own curiosity, and to see if Twitter can be more than random, uninteresting personal updates (”Ate a burrito. Spilled hot cheese on stomach. Too lazy to clean up, so I just dealt with it until the burning stopped.”), I decided to conduct a little experiment. On Twitter, I rounded up a little over 80 friends with the fairly enigmatic call to action of “Does anyone want to be part of a fairly ambitious Twitter project?” Our challenge: To cowrite a book over Twitter, one tweet at a time, utilizing all 80 participants as authors. We got off to a pretty rocky start but by the second day we’d organized the entire process and, though we lost some along the way, we totally fucking finished this thing.
I am both proud and horribly, horribly ashamed to present to you what is, to my knowledge, the first short story to be written entirely over Twitter (with images and layout added by me afterward). Remember, this is the Internet, so just watch how quickly the plot falls to shit.
[Why does he keep taking his glasses off? - ED.]
[Being Jewish doesn't mean you're "allergic" to ham, by the way...- ED.]
[Wait, so are we just gonna ignore the fat guy's dead wife, then? - ED.]
[So that's a "Yes," then.]
The list of authors, the rules and the history of the experiment can be found here at Twitbook and you can go here to see the story take shape over Twitter.
Follow me on Twitter. We do this stuff all the time.

i just want to read it over and over again !!!!
September 30th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
“I was born with a penis made of ham.”
Who would think of that shit? Only a fucking genius with sexy bestial desires, of course.
September 20th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
“And yes, the plot did go to shit fast, didn’t it?”
Hell, the plot didn’t even stay cohesive through the damn title page.
July 28th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
ha, great pictures
July 27th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Fucking awesome. Once again, you really need to write a comedy book, man.
June 21st, 2009 at 8:40 pm
That was fucking amazing.
And yes, the plot did go to shit fast, didn’t it?
May 25th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
tl;dr
April 30th, 2009 at 12:36 am
all I can say is wow.. lol
A for effort??
April 26th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I am a dick.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Absolutely hysterical, forget the haters!
April 19th, 2009 at 4:02 am
Nice idea but very weak humour.
April 19th, 2009 at 12:25 am
i feel sorrry for the kid lol
April 17th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
ha.
hahaha.
Hahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
thats so funny!
April 17th, 2009 at 8:40 am
tresss awesome-ness
i loved it!
total coolio-beans x x x x
keep it up!
April 16th, 2009 at 6:11 am
I like how sweaty guy takes his glasses off twice within a sentence of each other. I don’t think me and my friends could make it work.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
So… it was all a crazy (drug-induced) dream?
How very Dallas of you!
April 8th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
That was so awesome…just…all of it.
April 7th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Cool! The art was fun too!! Bruce Campbell rocks!!
April 6th, 2009 at 7:30 am
Nice article. I tried one of these once where each person did one word. I got lazy and just wrote HAM everytime. Of course, that means every sixth word was ham. It was kind of a FAIL.
But this was awesome!
By the way, Mr Chaos did make me wonder something: Does anybody actually own Cracked? Is it actually a company? Or is it a manifestation of all the random bullshit on the internet come to life? Even though that is sort of what manifestation means.
April 5th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Epic. Win.
I was laughing so hard I was in tears. Good job, internet!
April 5th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
—Aeolian
I love your comment. It so clearly writes what everyone thinks of him
and i’m sorry you already put on your cape.
—to everyone
I think Dr Chaos is getting enjoyment out of these flame wars we keep adding fuel to. Why don’t we suck this negative enjoyment out of his life and STOP RESPONDING to him? I am going to stop. He will leave eventually. He’s just another worthless troll, and deep down, he knows that too.
Sincerely,
Michaela
April 5th, 2009 at 10:24 am
It was clever, it was an original premise, it was creative and worthy of a pat on the back. But it wasn’t very funny. Feel free to try more crazy things in future, but never do this particular crazy, creative, original thing ever again, because the end product bit anus.
April 4th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
DOB, you magnificent bastard!
It was really funny, too.
April 4th, 2009 at 11:20 am
DOB, please god, make a post 6 reasons why Dr. Chaos loves sucking the proverbial dick of the cracked writers…..or something of the sort. that would destroy him.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:37 am
zomg….BEST. BEDTIME STORY. EVER!!!! You ought to be a novelist, DOB!
April 4th, 2009 at 8:30 am
this is the greatest story ever! But I wish the acid wore off later
April 4th, 2009 at 5:39 am
The end made it awesome. I didn’t think the writers would be able to pull that shit together.
April 4th, 2009 at 5:06 am
This is the greatest book ever.
I can’t believe that the ending somehow managed to make sense. Good work Tweeters!
April 4th, 2009 at 3:47 am
i think i may have to start a twitter just to do shit like this.
Good Read
April 4th, 2009 at 2:52 am
That may be the greatest thing I’ve read all day. Then again, I just woke up. It really was great entertainment though, although the guy(s) messing up the tenses diminished it somewhat.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Those pictures are so great, and the line “I didn’t want them to know, but my last zombie apocalypse didn’t go so well” is so great, that I barely care about the article’s odd resemblance to MS Paint Adventures Problem Sleuth.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
And before I forget, once again, props to everyone who participated in the glorious clusterfuck that is this twisted tale.
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
The real problem is many many people forget this quite often.

April 3rd, 2009 at 11:25 am
DoctorChaos is a little bit retarded.
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I cannot beleive I missed being in on this. And this was surprisingly coherent.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I’m game whenever it’s time to buckle down for the sequel. Or the TV series. Or the movie, video game, tabletop RPG, musical, whatever.
@ass_master3000: I don’t want to brag, but I was the one who initially wrote Bruce Campbell into the story.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Chaos, I knew you would be here. I could smell your foul odor, the reek of swamp gasses from your trollish home, from the front page, and I am come to confront you with
Damn, you guys already dealt with him. I can’t believe I put on my cape for nothing.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:18 pm
This was great! Coincidentally, I re-encountered this technique on holiday last week, where I found a paperback edition of “Surrealist Games” (pub. Redstone Press), a short compilation of creativity-sparking exercises and party games (a long-ago girlfriend first introduced it to me, in which we wrote alternating sentence fragments on a folded napkin while waiting for dinner at a restaurant).
This technique was first documented in the aforementioned book, as a game called “The Exquisite Corpse”. I’d encourage readers to find this book, it’s a real gem.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
I don’t believe DOB has 80 friends.
But I jest, well done lad! Good work!
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Considering the trend in recent network television crime solver shows, “Action Gynecologist” sounds quite feasible…and watchable, especially if Bruce Campbell is involved.
Funny stuff dob.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Dear…God…it’s…it’s a Twitter novel.
I don’t want to read it again…but I can’t help myself…
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:36 pm
I’m so proud to have been a teeny, tiny contributor to this great piece of literature, the best thing by far to have ever happened on Twitter, and thanks to the ingenius leadership of none other than the great DOB of “cracked.com” fame. Do you think @Ev or @foxnews or @cokeisshit could have produced such a masterpiece? I think not. It takes a fabulous #TwitterWhipSwisher like DOB_INC to goad his creative Twitsciples into doing his bidding! (loved the Photoshop work, too)
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Somehow this story made me enter nirvana. I am now Buddha. Yay for DOB!
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:25 pm
DoctorChaos-
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m glad you have one. But that doesn’t mean you can rip on Americans. One website does not define us. I happen to love this website but i also watch CNN and BBC on a regular basis. What you see on MTV or Wife Swap is not what real American families are like. So if you want people to actually listen to your opinion, you should at least have a sound basis for what you are criticizing. I don’t know where you are from, or much care, but wherever you are from, you must have the trashy people just like we do. And this is the internet, in case you haven’t noticed. A place for people to have free expression and write whatever they want without censorship. This is a funny story to me, but we all have different senses of humor. So instead of ripping on people that are different than you, why not at least try to be open minded. The world would be a much better place if people like you would realize that you don’t control everything. If you think Cracked writes so bad, start your own website and run it how you want. But leave the people that like this humor alone. I don’t make fun of things that you enjoy.
Please just take this into consideration,
Sincerely,
Michaela.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
OHGosh dude! Right when you thought Tweet couldnt get any better!

April 3rd, 2009 at 4:12 pm
First thing, Great article, very enjoyable.
As for the comments to Dr.Choas, Why bother. I think DOB took the high road on this one and I’m a little disappointed about that, because I’m sure he could rip Dr.Choas apart. Honestly though I find his comments are that of someone that has failed in life. I’m sure D to the C, spends most his time laughing his ass off like all of us, but when he enters the comment zone, something takes over him. I’m not sure if its dick hattory, or for our Jewish friends Ham dick Hattory, but he thrives off saying something to annoy or anger the other visitors to the site, and then just sits there, hit refresh every few seconds to see if someone… Anyone takes the time to read what he has typed.
After you have gone over his snail trail of notes and commented he knows that for at least a few seconds… someone has actually thought about him…
..
.
honestly in the end, I do not hate or even find myself angered by D@C. I just feel bad for him.
I wish you the best DC
And again DOB, Amazing article.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Brilliance, Mr. O’Brian. Brilliance, Twitter-ers.
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:44 pm
AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it, actually. I think it’s fantastic.
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I have but one thing to say..
OM NOM NOM NOM
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:26 pm
What.
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I can’t tell if Doctor CHAOS (BSD) is trying to mock himself to mock other commenters in a roundabout way, or if someone grew tired of his particular flavor of commenting and turned him into a sock puppet for their own amusement.
In other news, I found it hilarious, in no small part because of D.O.B.’s attempts to keep up with the story via photo manipulation.

That was hilarious! It went about as well as any multi-author Internet story ever will.
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:44 pm
That was beautiful.
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I’m in love! *Swoon*
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
As a Jewish girl I can confirm that while we are not allergic to ham ham, we are in fact allergic to ham penises. A little odd, but true nonetheless.
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
The ingenuity of this requires an intelligence far beyond that of doctorchaos. (P.S I’m Canadian, and doing quite well in a biology program at university. It’s sad that the closest thing you get to social interaction is people telling you you’re a dickwad. I understand if you’re pissed that you can’t get laid, but go take it out on your bunk sock or something)
Anyways! I loved it, but was very thrown off by the fat guy at the beginning, until I read it a second time. It all ended fabulously though, and the fact that it turned out so well! Kudos! I’m very sad that I didn’t get to partake, but I was in class all day and only found out about it after the cutoff time
April 3rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
AWESOMENESS!!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I’m a faggot who doesn’t understand comedy that requires reading!!! Please kill me!!

I WAS BORN WITH A PENIS MADE OF HAM.
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:16 pm
@willardnation-
i used to do that too! the acid part though.
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Awesome.
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:05 pm
My sister and her friends used to do this in high school. One would write a little bit of story and then pass it around. Always was funny.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:59 am
Nice ending
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:49 am
That was hilarious; I was almost in tears.
I like how the editor notes were trying to make sense of it.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:35 am
Fucking awesome. This should be on the front page of Digg right now.
PS: Chaos loves dongs in the butt. And he is fat and smells like ham penis.
Good night.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:33 am
BY THE WAY, EDITORS
being jewish totally DOES mean you’re allergic to ham. i learned that in like, second grade GOD cmon. idiots.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:25 am
DoctorChaos is a little bit retarded.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:21 am
This book is extremely random. It’s almost more random than an episode of Aqua Teen and that is difficult to do.
Also, I have an idea for Cracked.com. You HAVE TO and NEED TO add a voting function to each comment (kind of like Joystiq or Digg) where fellow readers and commenters can vote up or down the comments of others… Let’s just say that Doctorchaos’s comment would be voted down infinity billion times and would either be faded or minimized so that no one ever has to read it.
Thanks,
Danjer047
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:20 am
north caroina come on and raise up…
take your ham penis off…
raise round your head…
spin it like a helicopter…

Sorry, DOB. Looks like K’naan beat you to to the punch: http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/blog/2009/04/02/new_music_by_twitter.html#more
rockin’ story.
@davehuehn
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:54 am
Wow, a shorter comment, Doctorchaos? Maybe you should really make your own article and show us the kind of humor (or lack thereof) we should have.
That being said, go fuck yourself and fuck off out of here.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:50 am
I think in the next one, Dr. Chaos should clearly be the villain.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:31 am
That was the best prose I’ve read in a while. I can’t wait for the sequel.
Also, everyone should just ignore Dr. Chaos. He’s obviously a really bored troll with nothing else to do but savor people mocking him.
Or go the D.O’B. approach and give him gold stars and cookies.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:29 am
I can’t believe ya’ll got it done in only a couple of days. I definitely gotta get in on the next one.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:20 am
Great job everyone! Dan your artwork is parallel to none. It never fails to illicit a laugh out of me. I still use your labor day pic as my desktop background.
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:33 am
It’s like that game where you make up a story by telling one sentence and then the person next to you tells another part and so on. It’s perfect for Twitter!
I was surprised at the literary capabilities of some of the tweeters. It was wonderful! I’d love to be a part of it, but I’m afraid that I’m a pretty long winded person and my life just isn’t interesting enough to be told in one or two sentences.
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 am
It didn’t really take us as long as you’d think either. What… in the end maybe… 70 ppl took part? still a huge collaboration. nice pics DOB
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:29 am
the best part of this story was the editor notes…..
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 am
‘Washington Stone - Drug Addict’ had me rolling on the floor. I may stoop as low as joining twitter if you plan on making this a regular thing… I wanna play!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:01 am
tshp…you are, for the time being, my favourite person in the entire world. It’s not easy to logically and coherently combat a troll, but you managed to do so with wit and sarcastic humour. Thank you.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:54 am
I can’t believe it’s over. Please do another one so my days will have focus again! This was the best fun I have ever had on the internet…Have you SEEN the internet!?!?
Also to Doc.chaos. I can see that pretty much everyone has come at you from pretty much every angle on this but I’d like to add my two cents. Maybe if you had read DOB’s intro you would realise that this was a collaborative project done by [mostly] perfect strangers across 5-6 continents (unless there was someone from Antarctica?) Also I was the FIRST attempt at something like this on such a scale on this website. DOB was literally updating the rules as we went along. As such, this project was subject to the inherent highs lows and pitfalls of any idea that is just learning to stand on it’s own, two, shaky legs (Four for the goat). All I can say to you is if you had been there, man, following that thread for two days; working out the time-zones so you could sleep; waiting hours for some posts; chatting in #twitspambook; dreading missing your turn, well you just wouldn’t be so worried about the finished product having a few bugs.
So there it is, the ‘Windows Vista’ excuse for this first-attempt short twitbook.
It was a wild ride. So much fun.
Thanks DOB
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:49 am
I’m a pompous little tool who comes to websites I hate simply to post filth in the comments section, please kill me.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:35 am
Too funny DOB. Couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. I feel so fortunate to have been blessed with a sense of humor.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:28 am
I had way too much fun with this, we have to do another one soon. Finished product=made of win. or ham. yknow, whichever.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:19 am
Flipping brilliant. Tried to read this out loud to a friend, couldn’t stop the tears of laughter!
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:17 am
F’ing hilarious.
Doctorchaos, I won Best Looking at Down Syndrome High School. Want to meet up later.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:16 am
DoctorChaos, the rudness was excessive and unnecessary. I didn’t find this article funny either- too crude fo my taste- but that doesn’t make someone who does enjoy it stupid. Senses of humor vary.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:14 am
@DocChaos:
Wow, i feel so sorry for you that your dick is SO small that you have to try and slag off other people for your own satisfaction. If you don’t like what is posted on this site, then just fuck off and find the sites you do like!
Take for example me, I am in to certain kinds of humour or whatever, and if a site has a type of humour I don’t like, then I will click the home button on my browser, go back to Google, and start searching again!
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:03 am
I think 1st prize should go to the contributor who added the swarm of pitch-fork wielding Bruce Campbells. Brilliant idea….
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:57 am
I love ripple and this article, sorry DOB.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 am
It’s for things like this that DOB is the best and will probably be the Master President of the World one day.
And:
@Doctorchaos: if you really dislike every article on this site and the very existence of it, why don’t you just avoid, I don’t know, ENTERING THE SITE in the first place?
You can either go on and read MAD Magazine instead, or you can go and eat your own (and probably poor sized) dick… which is kind of the same, actually.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:37 am
Fuck, I was supposed to be in this. Stupid fucking IED went off on a convoy on Tampa and I had to go secure the site.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 am
@DoctorChaos:
More great tips! Thanks, buddy, your opinions are very valuable to me and I’m looking forward to sharing them with the rest of editorial!
Keep up the terrific work. You are an All Star!
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:28 am
Apparently, Doctorchaos has never heard of the word “opinion”. Good thing he speaks for everyone.
Now then, this was pretty good for a first try. Good job DOB and Co. The cover of the “book” made me laugh.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:22 am
Not gonna lie, kiiind of sad I didn’t participate in this, although I’m just not sure I could have lived up to the high standards of crazy set by everyone else.
Also, to reiterate what I said last time, Dr. Chaos you are a cunt. DOB, you rock my world even though we had to break up per GStone’s orders (selfish bastard).
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:22 am
A literary masterpiece if ever there was one. Way to go, all y’all who helped write this bad boy.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:03 am
@Doctorchaos: Dude you are so right on! Of course this whole thing is retarded, its not like it they are attempting to take an old medium which is traditionally a solitary effort and turn it into an interactive collaborative process that creates previously unseen and unknowable results through the use of emergent technologies.
Further your insights into the complex world of corporate taxation, strategically placed in a comments section on a twitter article and laced with your own brand of dry humor (Which is sooooo funny!!!!!) are much appreciated.
Most of all I’d like to thank you. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to educate neophytes such as myself and the writers, commentors and administrators of this site. Your continued patronage is of the utmost concern to all of us, as your absence would lead to a significant drop in the amount of (dick) sucking. Please stay, continue to attempt to start flame wars in every article you comment on. I know that our anger is a poor substitute for the attention you father never shows you (post coital), but I promise that starting an transatlantic flame war is in the highest tradition of internet trolls (and douche bags everywhere).
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:03 am
Hot damn this was fun. I take pride in knowing my Emergency Pap Smear tweet influenced the story so heavily.
Good job Team, DOB. We ought to do this again sometime.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:55 am
I approve of this madness. Many thanks for the giggles.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:47 am
2 days of my life spent watching this & waiting for my turn.
I’m suprised it turned out so smoothly, even with that much editing.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:46 am
I have to admit though, I laughed at the sacrficial sex-goat with herpes.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:43 am
I was totally following DOB on Twitter when this masterpiece was in motion. I feel so privileged to be a (miniscule) part of this scheme.
Also, Mr. O’Brien, I would be more than willing to have your pun-busting, potential sex-offender babies if the opportunity came.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:42 am
Boy when you guys get together to write a story, it turns into something of epic Charlie Manson proportions. I’ve never read anything so hilariously twisted in my life it was awesome! Anthony Robbins would approve!
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:40 am
Wow. That sucked hard.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:33 am
Well Played, sir. This is the best thing I’ve read on cracked in awhile
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:25 am
If so, please continue mixing bright colored pills and cheap grain alchohols. I’m sure it makes the pain go away for you and it keeps the funny shit coming for us.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:24 am
@ Doctorchaos - I’m Irish, not american.
@Spider Jerusalem - you’re right, everybody DOES win…. apart from Doctorchaos.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:24 am
You guys really are getting experimental these days… Brockway with his Choose Your Own Adventure story and now this. Not that I dont’ love it, mind you, I just have to ask… Is Brockway really a drug addict and has everyone just been tripping balls since he started?
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:19 am
@DoctorChaos
You see that red circle at the top of the browser window? Try clicking that.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:19 am
God. Damn. Dude.
This was so fucking ambitious. This had to take ages.
Good show, old boy.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:18 am
Doctorchaos I think you miss the point. Is this the most witty and clever thing that this site is capable of? No. The thing that makes this article neat and original is that it was written via twitter. The fact that there is any sort of story in here is pretty shocking, actually. This is really a commentary on internet culture. With dick jokes.
Everybody wins?
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:16 am
Dear Doctorchaos,
Please fuck off
Yours sincerly,
the entire planet earth
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:14 am
DOB is a fucking champ for seeing this thing through. The illustrations make it. Excellent work.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:08 am
Fantastic, just, fantastic.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:03 am
this went rather well, hope to be in line for the next great epic movi…sorry story! well, as soon as i can pick self off the floor, it did go to pot rather quickly.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:03 am
That, good sirs, was fuckin’ awesome. lol
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:02 am
Holy shit the ham penis part made me laugh for ages.

Sorry, one more thing. Do you guys actually manipulate the comment section and post positive comments of your own work in order to stimulate the obvious sheep mentality of the crowd to do likewise?
If not, and the vast majority of people actually do think this is funny, then fuck me I’d love to see a group picture of that fan base. I imagine it’d look something like a class photo from Down Syndrome High School. Maybe it’s just an American thing or soemthing, god knows you guys have a piss poor idea of what’s actually funny over there.

@Doctorchaos - You seem to be full of negativity for lots of things on this site. If it’s not your cup of tea, could you not just go somewhere else?
Look at me, feeding the troll, I must be getting soft of a Friday afternoon.
I’m excited to see what other Twitter games DOB will pull out of the bag.

Piss weak. When I reduce a screen in Cracked to my Status bar it says “funny website” in little letters so I know which one it is. Would you like to tell the code guys to change it to “don’ bother clicking here” or shall I.
Now tell us what the plan is for Tuesdays. Is HBN going got be a regular Tuesday vid? Will Network be cancelled or moved?. What IS the damn story here. You can’t just swap out G-Stone for Network, not when Netowrk is almost always funny and G-Stone is, at best, a hit and miss affair. Why not have TWO regular Vid days, Tuesdays and Fridays woud lbe good. Would balance out the bandwidth usage a bit. or are we going to be lucky enough to have a double video whammy on Tuesdays.
And also, who actually OWNS the Cracked website. Is it a media giant, some faceless organisation or is it just one man who uses it as a tax writeoff, if so that would explain the complete lack of attempt at making it good, or better. Like having a DVD store for blind people only, creates a loss and gives the accountants something to manipulate numbers with.
Do tell.

Jewish people allergic to ham. Best fact ever

The addition of Bruce Campbell made the perfect touch to the whole story. That was really well done considering the number of people involved!

That story made no sense.
Yet I still want to see it developed into a major motion picture.

Holy shit, that was amazing.

It’s a good thing I never really had any respect for the internet. This could have been crippling.

A suggestion for the next large-scale twitter project would be that if you have say 80 writers, that DOB should do part of the story after every 10th person, to keep some semblance of whatever plot is emerging and sort of tie all the bits together.
I am a big fan of the Twitter games so far.

My only consolation for wasting my time reading this unfunny drek is that it took you baboons far longer to thumb-type it.

Epic.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:19 am
Woah! That was epic. Great article.

Jesus Christ yes, that’s probably the best story I’ve ever read.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:13 am
just amazing

That was a hilarious read.
