Cracked

They've recently revealed a stunning fact: a lot of people don't like Justin Bieber


 


I'm glad we have Cracked to bring us this information hot off the presses. Where else would I find out this early in JB's career?

    Did you read the article? Y/N

    Here's the point: The kid's a plastic-mold pop star, which means his career has had an expiration date stamped on it since day one. This whole Justin Bieber thing is gonna run its course, and once it's over, hopefully the guy will have a nice life. If you don't like his music, that's really all there is to say.



    clearly a scathing indictment of Bieber.

    You realise Cracked is satirical, right Myrm?

    I hate Bieber because he's a little self absorbed prick
  • KrakenKraken

    I hate beavers because they're so hard to hunt.


    Goddamnit, stay still when I shoot.

    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"

    I am told that kids in interwar England enjoyed the game of Biber. Whenever you saw a bearded man, you shouted "biber". The first player to gather a set amount of points won.

    Hurhur.

    Can you not be needlessly vague about your complaints, man?

  • NovaNova
    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    His complaint's not particularly vague though.

    Eh, all I got was either "dur hurr Cracked sucks" and/or "dur hurr old(?) people writing about pop culture".

  • NovaNova

    Summarize his point as "People don't like Beiber, news at 11" then. It's pretty simple.

  • SchitzoSchitzo
    They're somethin' else.

    WHAT'S GOOD BITCH, IT'S DANG-A-LANG TIME!

  • MyrmidonMyrmidon

    I think the problem is that people expect my threads to be confusing, so they end up overanalyzing relatively simple posts.

    I'm pretty sure his complaint is that people disliking Bieber is old news.  Like, it should be written in Slowpoke meme format.

    Yeah, Cracked would be a million times less insufferable if its staff stopped trying to be insightful.

  • LegionnaireLegionnaire


    Yeah, Cracked would be a million times less insufferable if David Wong stopped trying to be insightful.





    But admittedly that's just my opinion.

    FIFY

    I don't know much about Cheese's articles but Wong's are filled with every kind of pseudo-intellectual justification for hatred of this modern generation of youth to the extent of painting the people who screwed up the system as heroes.


    So three guesses who I think is worse.

  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli

    John Cheese doesn't actually strike me as a bad person. His writing is repetitive (he's only ever done articles on a small handful of subjects), but not bad. At worst it just clashes with the site it's on.


    David Wong is a misanthrope of the worst caliber, a sexist who somehow thinks he's a feminist, a hackjob writer who uses his position on a popular website to plug his shitty books, a chronic self-loather, and an all-around douchebag. Wong is significantly worse.

    One foot in front of the other, every day.

    The only addendum I'd like to contribute is that John Dies At The End is actually good.

    IJBM: This budding discussion makes me want to reread JDatE, but I was going to try to fit a read-through of the Bible between classwork, because I've realized that a lot of the writing I enjoy the most refers to it extensively and I should have probably been familiar with it by now in the first place.

    ^^It very may well be, but I don't think I can separate the art from the artist in this case. 


    And brother I got through Card's Seventh Son series.


    ^I'm only really familiar with the bible due to religion class in catholic school but it's still weird to me how many people don't know about stuff like that. Which I realize is a little douchey since I know jack about Islam.

    Well, I'm not unfamiliar with all of it, I don't think. Just a lot of the smaller details -- what some of the seven miracles actually were (had to read The Gospel of John for a class, so I know now), which events go in which books, etc. And it's not so much so that I can be familiar with the religion's tenets (since I disagree with the basic principle that we can presume God's existence), so much as that I want to better understand the references that the great writers like Dostoevsky and Melville make to it, and perhaps also to better understand works that are specifically based on it, like Paradise Lost, which I have yet to complete anyway.

    I liked John Cheese more when he didn't try to teach life lessons.

  • MalkavianMalkavian

    I think that's the thing about Cracked again is how its articles try to 'teach' us stuff. Feminism is also something of an 'in' thing but it's all done from this position of 'we're men what do you expect' that annoys me.

  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli

    Sexism masquerading as feminism is hilarious. Be it the "women are goddesses, praise be unto them" type like David Wong does or the "we're stupid men, what do you want from us" type. Because both just deflect blame back onto the woman anyway.

    Have I ever mentioned how much I loathe Sex and the City and any supposed pretensions it has towards being progressive or "liberating"?


    Well, now I have. That show is anything but a feminist show.
