Those were entertaining but not really hilarious.

The Eastern Aircraft one for instance, makes an assumption that GM was helping the US win the war. What most people will never understand is that the vast majority of manufacturing facilities in Germany building Hitlers war machines were owned by GM and Ford! And fueled by Standard oil. Or that after the war these (US); sic, corporations sued the US government for the damages our bombers did to their plants ... and received millions from US taxpayers in reparations.

My mother spent WWII winding rotostators at a GM plant and bearing the children of an AAF Bomardier at Tampa Airfield.

So yeah, don't give a fuck.

Cracked.com is awesome.  I used to read Cracked Magazine when Iw as a kid.  I wanted to be Sylvester P. Smythe when I grew up.


Also this is their best article:

I used to subscribe to both Mad and Cracked as a kid as well ...
I like where they've gone in their mature, internet age ...

Cracked always used to be basically a cheap Mad knockoff. That's how I remember it, and it's been referenced several times in cracked.com articles, although I suppose it's pretty much none of the same staff still there, so why not shit on their predecessors?

And MAD has that dumb cartoon show now that's almost funny sometimes:

SNL is hit and miss, but has always been better than MadTV ever was.
