      • costumemaker, on 10/15/2008, -1/+3and to make it more sportier, hopefully there is only one bullet in it.. kill your enemy? kill yourself? gooooood watchin.
      • PeppermintPig, on 10/15/2008, -1/+6Perhaps the bullet can do double duty if they just put their heads together.
    • LuckySephid, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2lol the magic bullet 2.0
  • mauso, on 10/15/2008, -12/+3Cracked adds their logo to the images, but the animated GIF's always get a separate image placed beneath them. This always gives me a chuckle because it defeats the purpose of having the logo there (i.e. to credit the source if the image is redistributed).

    There were some good entries this week. I loved #6. I wish this one had made the cut:

  • Sylocat, on 10/15/2008, -12/+6Can it be? They actually picked a GOOD one for #1?

    Well, I still like #5 best, followed closely by 2 and 6, but at least 1 puts up a fight this time.
  • CCunitz, on 10/15/2008, -4/+83Dugg for my favorite balcony harassment crew:

      22. Breasts (girls with beautiful breasts and signs depicting the round).
      • binaryspiral, on 11/05/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I think they got those two backwards...
    • impedance101, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2There should be more like no. 11. In particular they left out AKs vs.Carbine. Flak vs. Rocket.
  • monkyboyrr, on 10/15/2008, -18/+4#0) tell john mccain to stop saying that obama voted to take funding from the troops, in a terrible effort to make it look like he's the good guy - even though the dem's rebut every time... you'd think think the geezer got the idea.
  • BaseballGuyCAA, on 10/15/2008, -12/+8I'd watch #4. True story.
  • CCunitz, on 10/15/2008, -14/+4*sniff*sniff*

    What's that I smell?
    A Digg Graveyard?!

    Good thing too, I was just about ready to openly admit my recent infatuation with gay porn.
    Seriously, I've been watching *****-on-***** action morning, noon, and night.
    I'm so glad to get that off my chest.
    Thank goodness no one will read this!
  • Trekhawk, on 10/15/2008, -6/+145How about including more than two candidates?
    • snotrokit, on 10/15/2008, -11/+5for the record, I dugg you a ***** ton more than once.
      • SitPoMk, on 10/16/2008, -1/+2my I ask how?
      • mikbunn, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1Unscrupulous rogue! I knew there couldn't be that many libertarians on Digg! You all just have more than one account!
      • snotrokit, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1damn you all have NO sense of humor. I did not mean that in a literal sense. (and I take the unscrupulous rogue as a compliment - thank you!)
    • protodon, on 10/15/2008, -1/+11Yeah what's the deal with the 2 to the end BS?
    • jzuska, on 10/15/2008, -5/+11Especially considering those of us who are writing in THE Ron Paul.
    • anagoge, on 10/15/2008, -1/+4Who are the other parties? I'm not American so I don't know, although with so much press given to the Dems/Reps, you'd think there wasn't any other parties.
      • obliviousfool, on 10/15/2008, -2/+3Other parties? Surely you jest!
      • DrummerAndrew, on 10/15/2008, -1/+9Libertarian, Green Party, Constitutional, Independent... there are others.
      • X9001, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2What DrummerAndrew said, some of them push extremest agendas (I believe there is a Fascist party), some lean alittle to the left or right, but on the whole they don't matter.
    • vbullinger, on 10/15/2008, -3/+11No. There are only two ways of thinking. You can not think outside the box at all. Period. Ever. Choose. Chooooooose!!!

      You want a little more war mongering and a little less socialism? Vote for McCain. You want a little less war mongering and a little more socialism? Vote for Obama.

      Either way, you're getting a war mongering socialist.

      Choose!
      • obliviousfool, on 10/15/2008, -1/+6Yes, the entire history of human thought and opinion can be boiled down to a choice between a capital D and a capital R.
    • bernstein07, on 10/15/2008, -2/+5I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that comment.
    • X9001, on 10/15/2008, -2/+2Take ***** from 1 person and multiply it by 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 so elections become even more of a confusing cluster ***** then they already are. Yeah great idea...
    • Alias1431, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1The logic hits me like a sledgehammer.
  • fishgeekva, on 10/15/2008, -7/+17dugg for debate beer pong..

  • yellowfish04, on 10/15/2008, -4/+24As awesome as boobs and skirts are (#'s 8, 10, 17), I have to give first prize to #9. Statler and Waldorf FTW.
  • uncertainty, on 10/15/2008, -13/+9Does anyone else think these all suck? None of them made me laugh, let alone smile.
    • mauso, on 10/15/2008, -3/+2Er...
    • elshizzo, on 10/15/2008, -1/+3that's just because you are worthless, don't worry
      • uncertainty, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1whoa. why the hostility?
      • elshizzo, on 10/16/2008, -1/+2sarcasm dude

        seriously though, you are worthless, no i'm kidding, no i'm serious...or am I?
  • Elissar, on 10/15/2008, -9/+2What!? No William Ayers?!?!
  • snotrokit, on 10/15/2008, -3/+8They forgot the cage match.
  • djabad87, on 10/15/2008, -6/+4-Support the wet t-shirt contest.

    I am John Mccain and I approve of this message.
  • LeadStripes, on 10/15/2008, -1/+11Statler and Waldorf as commentators would be ***** awesome!
    • ecrunner, on 10/15/2008, -0/+4probably the best critics possible.
  • petebot, on 10/15/2008, -2/+56#21. Make them answer the questions directly?
  • stealthc, on 10/15/2008, -10/+4#21: Show King of Queens reruns instead.
    • Swanston, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3Yes, because we need to see more of that scientologist Leah Remini.
      • stealthc, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Mostly because we need less of McCain and Obama on TV.
  • Dagreenman, on 10/15/2008, -3/+6I would watch #1 to see some epic riffs.
  • Hoogs, on 10/15/2008, -10/+8Seriously? Not a single one of those was funny to me. Come on Cracked...
  • NeoHomer, on 10/15/2008, -10/+7I'd like to see the one with the gun. McCain would fill nobama full o' holes.
  • flamesoftheend, on 10/15/2008, -2/+4Wet t-shirt contest would probably keep me awake this time.
  • kurtwinter, on 10/15/2008, -1/+15Two Men Enter!
    One Man Leaves!
  • haentz, on 10/15/2008, -1/+65Wow! 20 images. All on one page!
    • uncwidiot, on 10/15/2008, -1/+10Yeah, it's cause those 20 images suck in terms of actual photoshopping, it's doubtful anyone else would click through to the next page. Some of them are funny though.
      • Ki77erB, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2Those were Photoshoped? *****, I just emailed everyone I know that McCain owns a giant Robotic Death Spider and if elected, will ride it through every city in American, while it eats babies. Now you're telling me its not true! Oh well, obviously false political rumors never spread...right?
    • Zaxcomp, on 10/15/2008, -0/+7I wasn't aware the tubes could handle that much content on one page. Surely they could have made this at least 4 pages. Cracked must have used a dump truck.
  • hugstain, on 10/15/2008, -1/+4Every time someone says fundamental, you drink. I thought everyone was doing this. Add maverick for extra points.
    • WildNelson, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Yes! I am so sick of them saying "fundamental". Find a new word for god's sake.
  • fragile00, on 10/15/2008, -2/+6Dugg for the beerpong presidental game.
  • forcedfx, on 10/15/2008, -2/+13#14 could NEVER happen.






    Everyone knows McCain can't lift his arm that high.
  • biz20, on 10/15/2008, -8/+2Dont bury me.
  • WaCkYmAk, on 10/15/2008, -2/+121. Pitbulls with lipstick dogfighting match
  • shipwreck58, on 10/15/2008, -2/+25/10
  • dasamps, on 10/15/2008, -1/+3#4 is pretty relevant to my interests.
  • PabloIV, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2Dugg for Frank Gorshin as moderator. A slight upgrade of which would be Linda Carter with both of them Golden Lassoed.
  • LanaGK2, on 10/15/2008, -1/+3Potato sack race!
    That's how McCain picked his VP! (at 1:03): http://tinyurl.com/5zr47h
  • sk1m781, on 10/15/2008, -2/+3Every week there is some stupid cracked.com page with crappy photoshop jokes and every week people digg it. WHY
  • citizenrobot, on 10/15/2008, -1/+33RIDDLE ME THIS, SENATOR MCCAIN
  • PamalaLauren, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2I like number 2 the most. I think that would be the most funny and having commentators like perhaps John Stewart or Colbert during the debates would prove for high ratings and hilarity.
  • savvvy, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1Here's some other ways to make tonights debate more fun! http://digg.com/comedy/Presidential_Debate_Sex_Gam ...
  • MyNameIsGusto, on 10/15/2008, -0/+4Give those bear cubs lightsabers and I'll watch.
  • Trots, on 10/15/2008, -1/+6I thought the Riddler as moderator was hilarious.

    "Riddle me this.. McCain.."
  • elshizzo, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3The famous Obama pointing image works perfectly for #4. #4 FTW
  • sexybobo, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Presidential jeopardy. You heard it hear first now we need to make it a reality.
  • PeppermintPig, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Why isn't it more like the saw movies?
  • carabou, on 10/15/2008, -2/+2i would love to watch, but they forgot #21... when Obama cryes like the baby he is and tells McCain that he is scared of him!
  • acedolcholine, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2I'm voting McCain cause he rocks a Gretsch. The same one I play, actually. Heck yeah.
  • sajison, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2we thought they should be tied into machines that shock them with each lie and the voltage goes up as the lie count goes up.
