I believe that's been mentioned here before, quite
a while ago.
Yeah. It's a symptom of AFD nominators who hate short articles and
want everything to be an entry in an epic list, and never mind if the
reader can find what they were actually looking for.
Cracked, in its online version, has been surprisingly
clever and
topical, with some serious, deep philosophical points sometimes
present in their articles... nothing like the cheap ripoff of Mad
Magazine I remember them being when I was a kid.
Me too. Apparently they went near-broke, suspended publication for a
while and this is an entirely new team who are allowed to say "fuck"
and so on.
