Still waiting for my shill money. Has anybody else's cheque turned up yet?

Soros will be sorely missed once he dies - who will the right wind blame for everything then?

To some extent, there must be some jilted longtime Cracked readers who feel abandoned. The site's narrative has progressed, though only because society at large has.

Take for example the first episode of After Hours, which I like many just rewatched due to the flashbacks and references in the "movie curses" episode.



Notice the part where Swaim says "counting's gay", then Katie describes Forrest Gump as "retarded". You could debate whether that's acceptable, but they would still never do that these days. I suspect the anti-SJW crowd had something to glom onto with the Cracked of yore that they feel has been lost, and those people are going to rage click an article they view as PC and comment.

That said, I don't want to make it sound like external alt right swarms aren't a thing that happen, because holy hell, they are. I just don't want to go full "anyone who disagrees with me is a paid protester", because where have I heard that before?

Ugh, those reactions are giving me fucking gallstones. The fact some of these men are suing is also giving me tumours.

Also, why is Mitch G. Robot no longer around? :(

I completely understand why people have a problem with it, I just don't think it's a hill worth dying on.
