Dugg. - gamer31, on 12/27/2007, -53/+169how about websites still spreading out a list of 7 things onto 7 ***** pages?

don't worry, Hoff. we've all been there. - imikedaman, on 12/27/2007, -9/+119Each page has a ton of text, images, and YouTube videos. It'd be completely unusable if it were all on the same page.
- spektrall, on 12/27/2007, -2/+109You know, I must have been pretty high not to notice how ***** up this year was. It just seemed like life as normal. Thanks for the reality check, guys. Also, freaking hilarious.
- quez, on 12/27/2007, -3/+908) High School Musical: The Ice Tour.
- gummih, on 12/27/2007, -1/+83For added effect, read the article in the voice of the Comic Book Guy
- haloddr, on 12/27/2007, -2/+70"As they say in statistics, twice is a coincidence, thrice is a trend, and 17-ice isn't even a ***** word because things usually don't happen that many times."
- thestormcrow, on 12/27/2007, -1/+65Beautiful, Wong is a genius. And, wow, what a year.
- ClarkNoHeart, on 12/27/2007, -7/+55"...no matter what the supporters of Ron 'still polling in single digits' Paul tell you."
Amazing. - jun2san, on 12/27/2007, -0/+48Actually, just High School Musical itself.
- SohailKhanifar, on 12/27/2007, -4/+50Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the format of this website. The content was long enough to yeild 7 pages.
- jeddyftb, on 12/27/2007, -2/+46I, for one, am glad this list is split into seven pages instead of being an 8 mile scroll.
- NoodlePants, on 12/27/2007, -13/+52#8 The number of Cracked.com articles on Digg.
- plizard, on 12/27/2007, -0/+33isn't pretending they never happened what got us into the pile of mess we are in now?
- rhesusattack, on 12/27/2007, -0/+32"Hollywood refused to blast its money cannon at anything that didn't have a number at the end of the title (as opposed to CRACKED, who won't publish anything that doesn't have a number at the start of the title)."
Haha. I was just thinking the same thing. - Elranzer, on 12/27/2007, -6/+35Dugg for...
"Sony sold a ridiculous 120 million of their previous game machine, the PlayStation 2. From this, Sony decided that the gadget-buying public simply liked to take home cardboard boxes that said "PlayStation" on them, regardless of what was actually inside. So they released the PlayStation 3..." - hakz, on 12/27/2007, -3/+28this story is going to start a riot on digg, attacking the wii AND the iphone?!? bad idea
- Trax91, on 12/27/2007, -4/+27Should have gotten Paris Hilton in there somewhere. I knew the world was at the lowest when Paris Hilton's stories gets thousands of Diggs while disaster reports gets hundred to none votes.
- HanSolo69, on 12/27/2007, -0/+23i'd say the biggest shortage of 2007 was bandwidth.
- Ndiggnation, on 12/27/2007, -3/+23Hey hey now, don't mess with Jason Bourne. He'll ***** your day up with a copy of that Harry Potter book..
- cannonball, on 12/27/2007, -6/+24"Vista is one of those things the future will laugh at us for, in the same way we laugh about old hospitals using leeches."
awesome. - zyl0x, on 12/27/2007, -1/+18Sometimes Cracked's lists suck. Other times they are great and wonderful. This list is one of the latter.
- djm91, on 12/27/2007, -1/+16you can't be that lazy
- sarge96, on 12/27/2007, -0/+14"In June, Apple released a phone that was the same as other phones, except instead of pushing buttons to make it work, you rubbed your finger around the screen."
Sounds about right to me. - egonSchiele, on 12/27/2007, -0/+14this site was the exception. But I agree, most websites shouldn't do this. The worst offender is forbes.com I think.
- Ulisses, on 12/27/2007, -6/+20I did, there was a brief mention of the cult as a side note.
Nothing about spam, just about idiots. - edwartica, on 12/27/2007, -2/+16its all fixed anyways.
- inactive, on 12/27/2007, -1/+14i'm just gonna pretend the ***** article was on 1 page
- noliberalbull, on 12/27/2007, -4/+16High School Musical... period
- LBobRife, on 12/28/2007, -1/+13A lot would make it more of a national pasttime, now wouldn't it?
- bat-21, on 12/27/2007, -1/+12"Nearly everyone hated Vista, in the way that nearly everyone hates being stabbed." Amen and dugg.
- ben_nushmut, on 12/27/2007, -0/+11Who's this Haitian you speak of? Wait... can't remember... getting headache...
But seriously, I thought the season started out like ***** (with a few good moments) then improved in the final few eps. Just wish the studios didn't have to be so maniacally greedy and would give the WGA their fair deal. I want to see Volume 3! - Frei, on 12/27/2007, -2/+11This is just too true.
See, if we'd learned one thing from 2006 (we didn't), it should have been that the Internet is great at making a whole lot of noise with no real world impact. Snakes on a Plane created a huge buzz online months and months in advance, inspiring thousands of fan sites, millions of homemade posters and trailers, and countless ridiculous Samuel L. Jackson impressions.
When the film actually came out in theaters in 2006, it made less money than anyone anywhere predicted, proving that the "Internet Crowd" is incredibly vocal and influential, unless, of course, they have to get up from their filthy, sweat-saturated computer chair and actually do something. In 2007, the powers that be decided they finally had something that would get the net crowd to take action: presidential politics. - inactive, on 12/27/2007, -0/+9It's annoying when there's little info on each page, but this was fine for me. The author probably did it to avoid having an uber-long page.
- inactive, on 12/27/2007, -0/+9"Worst Year Ever"
- Ulisses, on 12/27/2007, -29/+37No mention of Ron Paul spam taking over the internets?
- armoreddillo, on 12/27/2007, -0/+8"good idea: whistle while you work
bad idea: whistle while you eat." - merripen, on 12/28/2007, -0/+8You're wrong. Bro got tased. A guy got tased to death in an airport. A ***** *pregnant woman* got tased. Texas driver guy got tased, and many others.
Tasing became a national pastime when we started hearing new ridiculous stories in the paper almost daily. - AmazingAndrex, on 12/27/2007, -0/+8Opera already has that. For some web pages it guesses the next page with the double forward arrows or going to the bottom of the screen and hitting the space bar.
- edwartica, on 12/27/2007, -3/+11Leopard should be there as well. But at least the iphone was on there.
- zeromancer, on 12/27/2007, -1/+9i'm sorry. the bourne movies are ***** sweet. go back to your bridge, troll.
- inactive, on 12/27/2007, -2/+9Is it too late to drink this year away? Because my God, it seems to have been an exceptionally stupid year, even by the standards set by recent years.
- Iwantawii, on 12/27/2007, -2/+9Web pages really need some sort of simple, standardized "next page" keyboard shortcut. And I don't mean the Forward button, but the next page of the CONTENT. Or at least some sort of mini rss type of feature so I could open all of the relevant pages in separate tabs. That would make the interwatts more like flipping through a magazine, and ultimately suck less.
- edwartica, on 12/27/2007, -0/+7It seems Paris Hilton isn't in the media as much anymore though, but yeah - its pretty sad that a bunch of monks in Burma standing up against oppression got less coverage than Paris Hilton's stay in jail.
- krismanx, on 12/27/2007, -8/+152girls1cup?
- Ashylarrynyc, on 12/27/2007, -10/+17Dugg because sadly I am a Jets fan.....if anyone wants to join me I will be burning a effigy of Tom Brady while cursing the football gods.
