How is the website Cracked, viewed here on DU...

[Javaman]

is it considered and unreliable site?

1. I've personally found it to be much more thoroughly researched than it needs to be

I'm sure that varies depending on the topic and the writer.

2. Can't speak for all of DU, but I think it's OK...

or as OK as any other OK site.

3. Reliable for humor

and they really like boobies.

4. It's a humor site but they've been publishing many interesting factually-based lists. n/t

5. They post a lot of funny and interesting articles.

A lot is opinion pop-culture stuff with jokes that some may find a little juvenile. They also post some more serious articles that are fairy accurate and critical of corporations and the wealthy. Just this morning I saw an article that criticized Target for a bullshit anti-Union video the made employees watch and mentioned some dirty practices of Coca-Cola, although they left out the murders. Some are personal interest stories. I remember seeing one Reader's Diget picked up and published not too long ago. I think some of the jokes in the articles won't fly of someone posted it on this site, but overall they are fine. It's certainly more reliable than FOX and tabloid like sites that pretend to report true stories.

6. Some funny articles there. I don't think it's RW.

And I haven't seen it banned by admins. Might wanna ask Skinner?

Or post it and wait for someone to accuse ya of being a secret RW troll here to fuck everyone's day up..

7. It is an evil bad place...

where I lose many precious time units. Thank you for not including a link here for I have things to do.

I find the articles to usually be 80%-90% accurate. As for potential response to a Cracked piece on DU, it depends on the article I guess. I've never seen a Cracked piece garner a hide.

8. I used to be a contributor, until I found out....

That the people who post on their message boards, and the moderators of the site are complete assholes. I will read the articles but I won't contribute anything nor will I click on sponsored links.
