I feel like some people at the nation could use this. Not pointing out any names though.

It highlights some important reason why you really shouldn't believe a word the media says.

I feel like the media is run by moms who jump on the bandwagon before its even left.......or before they even know where its going, and then think they're wise and act like they know everything and feel like they can consult your life. NO I'M NOT BITTER!

Oh and for those of you who dislike Cracked, just try to bear through it alright? Its a very un-Cracked like article.

I shouldn't be allowed to look at Cracked.com. I always get distracted by links.

I guess I'm likely enough to fall for one of these. If the truth can really be stranger than fiction, what's to say fiction won't sometimes sound more plausible? Still, keeping an eye out is important. I've seen a lot of things on deviantART from people trying to get attention.

Christina generally writes very un-Crackedy.

Which doesn't mean I dislike her articles, I very well like them.
