- amitait, on 10/03/2008, -14/+99Is it so hard to put it all on the same page?
- jasonXhendrix, on 10/03/2008, -2/+68I wanna be batman on horseback.
- AmyVernon, on 10/03/2008, -0/+57Notice how many of these involved pooping?
- redfred18t, on 10/03/2008, -2/+50I'm pretty sure being a cop or fireman isn't overrated
- Cyrusnov, on 10/03/2008, -0/+46what can I say, they're crappy jobs.
- BeShirtHappy, on 10/03/2008, -11/+57lol. Being a knight would really suck when you had to go to the bathroom.
- Hetman, on 10/03/2008, -1/+46I agree with you Seppuku is an incredibly honorable things to do. It is still one of the reasons that japanese suicide rates are the highest of any devoloped country. At least when their bankers screw over their investors and the general welfare of the people, they have the common decency to kill themselfs.
- zacbro, on 10/03/2008, -2/+42It's a way of life... Much like file clerk.
- meruru, on 10/03/2008, -0/+39I don't think anyone looks at computer programmers that way. It's more like "oh you're a computer programmer, would you mind fixing my computer for me?"
- jeremyduffy, on 10/03/2008, -0/+37Two more that I think would be much higher on a digger's list:
Video game tester - You spend all day playing games, but don't get to chose your game, stop when you're tired, and give up when you find that the game is a disgusting pile of disease and filth.
Porn star - For the exact same reason - S7aind, on 10/03/2008, -1/+29This was posted a few weeks ago, strange Cracked removed it and put it up now.
- JesperL, on 10/03/2008, -1/+27Craaaaaaazily enough, sites like Cracked.com do rely on advertising money, and more page views mean more money.
***** man, it's 2 pages. It's hardly overkill. - zzz@tkz, on 10/03/2008, -3/+29I always thought the Samurai code was badass. Seppuku was an incredibly honorable thing to do.
- KenSPT, on 10/03/2008, -1/+25Since when is Samurai actually considered a job?
- audomatix, on 10/03/2008, -0/+24I'm a professional ***** taker.
- veriix, on 10/03/2008, -1/+25I have a pickup for you
- IphtashuFitz, on 10/03/2008, -1/+20It's basically the same as a knight...
- trollick, on 10/03/2008, -0/+18#6 Rocket Surgeon
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -0/+18I'm a programmer, I actually enjoy my job.
Programming can be fun, if given enough freedom.
Problem is it makes for horrible bar talk. - PrinceMissile, on 10/03/2008, -0/+17MY TIME MACHINE WORKED!
- smaskat, on 10/03/2008, -8/+24#7: Computer Programmer
You may assume computer programmers are all hackers like those in the movies, with almost unrestricted access to do anything in the world.
Why it sucks?
Because computer programmers don't have such power. - inactive, on 10/03/2008, -0/+16http://www.instantrimshot.com/
- suzannethetiger, on 10/03/2008, -0/+14CIA agent. Talked to a couple of people who said that early on, you get sent out to some podunk town in the middle of nowhere, make 30k or less, and you can't tell anyone what you do.
- zewm, on 10/03/2008, -5/+19FTA - "Jessica Biel walking in and asking for a boob massage."
mmmm - inactive, on 10/03/2008, -4/+18Brain surgeon. All they do is open your head and poke around, its basically painting by numbers.
- leerayIG88, on 10/03/2008, -0/+13You could wear a diaper. It's perfect for 'on the go' situations.
- audomatix, on 10/03/2008, -1/+14lmao no no no that's not what i meant!
- IphtashuFitz, on 10/03/2008, -3/+16POTUS deserves no respect these days...
- speedk0re, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11i call *****!!! Try being QA. If things go correct, it's "GREAT JOB MR COMPUTER PROGRAMMER!!"
If things go wrong, it's "WTF Q.A. How could you have not spotted this?!?" At least programmers/developers get the glory. - cor315, on 10/03/2008, -1/+1210 pages is when I get pissed, but 2 pages. Give me a break man, it won't kill you to hit one button
- dafragsta, on 10/03/2008, -1/+12Aside from the getting shot or incinerated part.
- camilos007, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11"the 'doctor' screamed, "None of my magic spells are helping! " "
Brilliant. - ModernGeek, on 10/03/2008, -0/+10Firefighter needs to be on this list. We look all cool on TV and such, but when it is all said and done, what your job really involves is walking through a charred home, pulling down sheetrock and getting blown insulation all over you, looking for hot spots after the fire is put out in a few minutes. If it is a huge fire, everything is so unorganized, the place burns to the ground, and instead of sifting through a charred single family home, it is an industrial complex. The worst is when something has a metal roof, and you have to somehow remove the big sheets of metal to get to the hot coals.
- m00n1, on 10/04/2008, -0/+10Hey, my telescope is broken. Would you mind popping over and having a look at it for me?
- speedk0re, on 10/03/2008, -0/+10that why i always told people my major is astronomy. You get a lot less calls on the weekend for fixing people's printers/Linksys problems.
- jasonXhendrix, on 10/03/2008, -1/+10This is a great article. I'm surprised it doesn't have more diggs. I guess the readers don't like to think of manly jobs as genuinely *****. Makes them feel less like they'd be able to do them.
- GiulianoB, on 10/03/2008, -0/+9OBGYN
- osko2052, on 10/03/2008, -0/+8That's just gross.
- drgmdp, on 10/04/2008, -0/+8no *****
- veriix, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9So you wanna be robin?
- arobar, on 10/03/2008, -0/+8Well you obviously know what you're talking about, no questions asked.
- mrdeathgod, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8"nothing says excitement quite like forcing a dim-eyed beast into a corner to have someone saw off its balls"
Priceless! - audomatix, on 10/03/2008, -8/+15and incredibly stupid.
- Niightwitch, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7I think cops and firefighters have some of the toughest jobs in the world - you earn every penny you're paid and you're not paid enough.
- trollick, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7I think you are mistaking a programmer with an uber hacker villain, which is not even a job.
Normal programmer=good pay, nice office, interesting work. Nothing is overrated about that. - CapnFark, on 10/04/2008, -1/+7But there's no risk of herpes as a game tester.
- veriix, on 10/03/2008, -0/+6Suck it up sally...
...thats a good one. - RevAradia, on 10/03/2008, -9/+15NO joke. But what about the other baddass jobs. Policemen, firemen, or did I miss that part?
- elijahalcantara, on 10/03/2008, -0/+6Right on. Their sense of shame is somewhat of a good thing, but I believe nowadays when some japanese screws up they either step down or resign. Unlike in other countries ...
- Scott83k, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5Agreed, I as well was looking for this on the list.... ***** my life
