All it’s Cracked up to be
Growing up the in the 80s, Mad Magazine was king (ok, it was king long before that, but we’re taking this from my limited point of view). Somewhere in the middle of Mad’s reign, Cracked hit the newsstands. Cracked was sort of like Mad’s younger, crasser brother. Not quite as funny, a whole lot cruder, but endearing in its own way.
Like Mad, Cracked has grown to find a new market and a new home online. Unlike Mad however, Cracked.com is highly amusing, multi-layered, and sometimes even poignant website. Whether the topic is “20 T-Shirts That Will Make Women Have Sex With You”, “The 7 Balliest Sports Cheats Ever”, or “5 Psychological Experiments That Prove Humanity is Doomed”, there’s something hear guaranteed to amuse or annoy you. Yeah, sometimes the writing is weak and they should do love their lists, but the gold far outweighs the duds on this site.
