Jack O'Brien leaves Cracked after 11 years

It was recently announced that co-founder Jack O'Brien was going to step down from his position as Editor in Chief of Cracked.com, after 11 years working for the website. Now Variety reports that he's been tapped by HowStuffWorks to "focus on comedy".

Now, the real question is why would HSW think Jack was going to start being funny just because he'll be working for them.

So, I guess if you thought Wong was unhinged before...let's just say it's a good thing I haven't been to that site in ages.

Damn it, I'll have to learn a new name for MLA formatting.

I'm more surprised by the fact that JOB was apparently still working for that sinking ship. By the time I stopped reading Cracked, I was under the impression he'd either left, been fired, or was "on staff" in name only.
