Well I thought it was quite funny.
I believe that's been mentioned here before, quite a while ago.
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.

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.
