The 7 Stupidest Things That Make People Proud

#7. Not Liking Something Popular


From cracked [excerpt], There are some people who think proclaiming that Justin Bieber sucks is the freshest, most daring opinion since not liking sliced bread.

A lot of popular things suck, I'm not arguing with that. But there's no reason to be smug and pat yourself on the back for hating a popular thing, whether it sucks or not.

That website is such a sand trap!

Every time I'm there, I keep thinking "Okay, just one more" and clicking another link (and then I realize it's been an hour since I first got there).

I did the same thing Jordan! That article was a little harsher then I expected. Loved the one about the "7 mysteries of women's clothing" though. Ridiculously true!!!

It's so true, I just spent a fucking hour there!

I'm still there! I left the above comment forty minutes ago (!) and went right back to cracked.com. "Whatever they've got, they should bottle it."

JPX said...

I went back to it as well and wasted another half hour!

Cracked Magazine used to be the shitty knockoff version of Mad, the way the Go-Bots were the shitty version of the Transformers.

they've come a long way even since they started doing the lists thing as their bread and butter. good idea at first with just okay execution. now all of the articles are consistently hilarious and insightful, not to mention brimming with delicious new trivia.

when was the last time any of us picked up a copy of Mad magazine? i haven't bought an issue since my sophomore year of college.

I'm so delighted at the groundswell of love for Cracked.com. Reading it was pretty much all I did at my temp job in 2010. To his credit, JPX was onto them way early (even before they got as good as they are now).
