<br />
Please, go there and observe his misspelled, arrogant attempts at sublety. He needs the pagehits.<br />
<br />
(Oh, why is he yellow? Observe the comment about deleting my comment, "because fuck him". When I asked him to come here and try to imitate a human being for a discussion, he refused, saying "I can't control the environment there" Translation: "I can't delete the comments that ask me serious questions, nor respond by using profanities and insults").<br />
<br />
(Why brown? That's the color of his nose from keeping it buried in Pargin and Leighty's asses).<br />
<br />
He's definitely a Cracked writer.OnoSendaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09945692237280649165noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197921294935562325.post-51309321199516333112012-12-13T11:33:00.000-05:002012-12-13T11:33:51.103-05:00Stay Classy, Cracked...<br />

This is where it's helpful to have one button that deletes all of a user's comments in one shot.<br /><br />That guy is either 13 or somewhat mentally unstable (he's posted elsewhere that he's going to contact Anonymous to come after us, and that he has personally contacted the shareholders of Demand over the fact that he wasn't allowed to keep screaming insults in our comment section). I guess it's not his fault in either case...</div>

An alternative comedy website that actually likes and respects its readers! How revolutionary!<br />
<br />
Comments are completely unmoderated, you just have to sign in with a Google account or LiveID, because the last thing any website needs is little, cowardly anonymous trolls from a larger comedy website that is scared of us posting nasty little BLAARRGHs, hehe...<br />
<br />
Writers are encouraged, nay, forced at gunpoint, to write for us on any subject YOU choose, (we've found that the whole "at gunpoint" thing really gets the creative juices flowing). You can also make MONEY doing it. (If we ever make any).<br />
<br />
Come one, come all! If you can't come, bring someone who can!<br />
<br />
The year is 2012.<br />
<br />

Time to drop the bomb. Demand Media is the group behind Cracked. They haven't been happy for awhile about our resident drunk, and Pargin has made every effort to squash this whole incident involving his embarrassing best bud, just to make sure that they don't find out about his latest, (in a long line), of fuckups.<br />
<br />
Guess what? They are about to find out. Money talks and drunks and sycophants walk.<br />
<br />
Cracked has been sending it's intellectual giants over here to try to distract me or debate me to death or whatever scared fools do, but guess what? I didn't start this blog as a debate forum, nor as a rage page, I started this to expose a wrong. That simple. I'm bringing something the internet isn't used to and hates. Honesty. Because, I have all that I want and nothing to lose. I have a house, money in the bank and many successful books published and I can be your worst enemy if you fuck with me. And Cracked did. They broke up a family of commenters that I knew as friends, that did nothing more than ask what happened when a writer we all used to respect turned bitter and attacked us. And his BFF, Jason Pargin, (Wong), defended him and lied about what happened. After banning us and deleting our accounts so we couldn't say differently.<br />
<br />
So, guess what? Enough is finally enough. Major websites have been contacted and expressed interest, (to put it mildly. The irony of a comedy website despising it's readers is lost on no one), and now Demand Media is being enlightened about the hideous mess it's backing.<br />
<br />
The best is yet to come and fuck you if you don't like it. Because I'm doing this for my friends, no one else.<br />
<br />
Because I can.<br />
<br />
And because they deserve it.<br />

Because I feel like it, for one thing. Actually, the honest-to-God reason why is that Cracked destroyed a community of friends in an effort to defend it's resident drunk. A drunk that went too far by mocking and deriding the comedy that his own website employs, and it's readers enjoy. Hell, his own name is a pun, yet according to him, anyone that likes puns is the scum of the earth.<br />
<br />
I could go on, but that story is covered at length here and other places. The point that shocked and devastated everyone involved is, using one excuse, (a supposed death threat on his Facebook page), his buddy, Jason Pargin, (David Wong), used a scorched-earth approach and banned/deleted hundreds of commenters that had been faithful readers for years, in some cases.<br />
<br />
And us commenters were a family. We knew each other, we laughed, joked, made intelligent witticisms and generally just enjoyed each other's company. Thrown to the winds by a "comedy" website that tries so hard to pull off a carefree, "look at us, we're funny!" attitude that has now been shown to be a facade.<br />
<br />

To tap the internet on the shoulder and say, "Look at this clusterfuck by Cracked.com, a "yuk,yuk comedy" site". Is this worth the outrage and hurt we feel? Or, is it time to apply Head On to our sore rectums and move on?" </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
I could go on, but I really don't care if some of you don't "get" it.<br />
<br />
We do.<br />

He's wearing enough cologne that you can smell it outside the bar. If you subtract 15 years from the calendar, his clothes would be in style. The bartender knows his name and his drink without him saying a word. He's leaning against the bar like he hasn't a care in the world, gray hair bobbing slightly to music that you know for a fact he doesn't like. He's casually scanning the crowd, like a drunken Terminator, searching for any woman who's just the right level of buzzed. Drunk enough that her inhibitions are thinned, but not enough to pass out or vomit. He's hunting, and his eyes are on the girls your age. And it is creepy as hell.</span><br />

Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.<br />
Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,<br />
Blown on the steel breeze.<br />
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,<br />
You legend, you martyr, and shine!<br />
<br />
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.<br />
Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />
Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.<br />
Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,<br />
Rode on the steel breeze.<br />
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,<br />
You piper, you prisoner, and shine!<br />
<br />
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.<br />
Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />
Pile on many more layers and i'll be joining you there.<br />
Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,<br />
And sail on the steel breeze.<br />
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,<br />
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!</div>

On Saturday nights they have what is, appropriately, called the Saturday Night Edge Club. I have just heard two songs that I've never heard before and that, collectively, kicked my ass. Not easy to do, mind you.<br />
<br />
The first was called, "The Pot" by Tool. Here are the lyrics:<br />
<br />

ButtChocolate, a highly-favored and well-known commenter just told me that he was banned for awhile, also. BECAUSE JOHN CHEESE READ HIS MESSAGES. As in, private messages. Granted, it's their website and they can do as they please. BUT. Why have a "private messaging" system if anyone in the chain of command can read them? Unless it's because Leighty,(Cheese), is Pargin's boyfriend, (Wong).<br />
<br />
BC said Leighty banned him because of the "lowlife" he was messaging with, or some bullshit like that.<br />
<br />
Delete your messages, people. Come here and be anonymous and talk all you want.<br />
<br />
Here, you can have your privacy, while smiling and waving to all the Cracked eyeballs peeled this way, lol.OnoSendaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09945692237280649165noreply@blogger.com93tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197921294935562325.post-67231907614216181572012-12-08T07:26:00.003-05:002012-12-08T07:26:59.680-05:00A Disturbing Pattern Of Behavior One that has gone on for years in the Cracked forum. Their recent actions have been repeated over and over again. If you fire up Tor browser, (it hides your IP address, or gives you a fake one, if you so choose), create a new account, but DON'T login, you can ghost the forum. The things you will find there will destroy any lingering doubts you have about "overreacting" commenters. I may try and document them eventually, but it's literally almost overwhelming.<br />
<br />
This why they are trying so desperately to shut this matter down, by banning/deleting accounts and comments, (even now, a week later), lying about death threats from the commenters, (there were NONE. I lived at that article for three days straight. Never happened), making access to the forum airtight and washing their hands of the whole mess.<br />
<br />
Because they know how the internet works. Big comedy website belittles and ridicules it's own audience? You think you've seen "butthurt" already, guess what?<br />
<br />
It hasn't even started yet.OnoSendaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09945692237280649165noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197921294935562325.post-25545923081852488452012-12-07T09:42:00.003-05:002012-12-07T09:42:33.444-05:00Cheese And Cracked Are Running Scared Sucks when a dark truth is revealed to the light of day, isn't it? A comedy website, maybe the world's largest, hates and despises it's readers. Yes, you heard right, it's readers, it's revenue. Have you ever seen another site do this? I haven't. And they are scared to death right now that this will go viral and everyone will know how hypocritical they truly are. "Come, write for us", they say. Yet, we've seen fledgling writers treated with derision in the forums if they say anything other than, "Yessir, Mr.Cheese/Wong, sir!" And God forbid a mere mortal reader stray into that cesspool. One word, one smileyface, one "lol" and you're banned.<br />
<br />
John Cheese, (Mack Leighty), is David Wong's, (Jason Pargin), best bud. He's also a miserable, relapsing drunk who is taking out his rage and hostility on anyone in sight and Wong takes up and covers for him. But this time the curtain has been pulled aside to reveal, not the Wizard, but the sad, dark, shameful truth.<br />
<br />
The truth that a comedy website is populated with some of the most cynical, hateful, downright despicable misanthropists that money can buy.<br />
<br />
And that's just wrong.OnoSendaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09945692237280649165noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197921294935562325.post-186826203009097892012-12-06T21:47:00.001-05:002012-12-06T21:47:16.818-05:00An Alcoholic's Perspective On The Great "Cheese-Melt"(This is not an attempt to rationalize, nor excuse, his actions. Simply a viewpoint into the actions of a possibly-relapsing individual from a broader standpoint)<br />
<br />
You all know me, some of you have seen the Youtube video where I talk about being an alcoholic/addict, (hereafter referred to as "a/a"). As an a/a, you unfortunately gain insight into a dark side of life, a world of pain and misery, but also redemption and triumph. It's an ugly world, full of hateful decisions and self-loathing. A world where you sell blood to buy booze and steal from loved ones to keep using.<br />
<br />
But enough about that, you get the point, I hope. The reason I'm writing this is to, hopefully, get people to understand what "relapse" and "dry drunk" means and why I think Cheese is doing both. (Please google both terms, this would be a wall of text to explain them here. I'll wait). If you've read about both then you've realized what I think has happened here. All of the symptoms describe his attitude and his actions.<br />
<br />
And that's sad. His BFF, Wong, should be helping him right now instead of encouraging such behavior. No one wants to see someone relapse.<br />
<br />
I was going to write more, but I've got the flu, it seems. I heartily encourage comments and discussions about this in the comments section here. (You know, the one where we care about you and value your opinions).<br />

<br />
This was brilliantly done by him, even while he facing a major test to determine his future and apparently, making nuptial plans. Hats off to the man!<br />
<br />
Okay, a new start. First, I will mod this board. Cracked flunkies have their own place to speak, this ain't it. If they are not 100-percent respectful of us, they will vanish into thin air. This is our stage, by God.<br />
<br />
Second, this NOT ending, this is just starting. They have pissed off a 55-year-young Texas loudmouth that just happens to have money, a tie-in to a publisher and mad skills on writing books. (Three, so far). I'm not shy, I'm not quiet and I don't suffer fools gladly. Hang on, guys and gals, the show has just started...<br />

Way too many immature folks have hijacked the comments on both sides of the debate. I will leave this blog up as a reminder of what happened and as a place of unmoderated discussion for the "Cracked exiles." Anyone who wishes to participate in "Quit Cracked Day" can continue to do so. I may still post and reply to comments, but this blog will have no more posts. Stay Cracked, my friends!Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11436788476842182847noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197921294935562325.post-57560814431973367572012-12-03T18:41:00.001-05:002012-12-04T07:10:01.385-05:00Quit Cracked DaySo it seems that the situation is, unfortunately, quieting down. It's extremely difficult going up against something that wields that much power. But we did what we could with what precious few "resources" we had.<br />
<br />
However, let me make one last proposal. I propose that we have a "Quit Cracked Day." This is the same strategy implemented on one of the most popular websites in the world, Digg. Digg was formerly one of the largest and most influential websites in the world. They implemented a horrible design change that revamped their website to such an extent that the users left in droves. If you haven't heard anything from them in the past two years, it's because they were successful.<br />
<br />
I suggest we do the same. I don't have any naive expectations about the success of this plan. I realize that the success of this plan depends entirely on getting the word out and whoever is willing to participate. I also realize that there are also many people who are either against us or simply unaware of our situation to act. I am very well aware that this plan could easily amount to nothing.<br />
<br />
However, I am also of the opinion that it is far better to stand up for a principle even if nobody pays attention. I suggest we go out with a bang, rather than a whimper.<br />
<br />
This is the tentative plan. Anyone is welcome to submit ideas for changing it. The date will be December 9, which is one week after the mass deletions/bannings took place. Everyone will simply not go to the website for any reason. Do not go there to see what articles there are, do not go there to post comments assuming your account is still active, do not go there to vote up any comments. Simply do not have the name "cracked.com" anywhere in your web browser at all. And simply continue to not visit indefinitely unless the following conditions are met:<br />
<br />
1. All accounts that were unjustly banned are reinstated and<br />
2. A public apology is issued by one of the officials on the site.<br />
<br />
Note that it does not matter if your specific account is reinstated. All accounts that you know of should be reinstated before visiting the site. Also, a <i>public</i> apology must be issued. Not one in a PM addressed specifically to you. It must be somewhere prominent like in the forums, one of their Twitter's, Facebook, or even the main website. No one will visit the website unless those two very specific conditions are met.<br />
<br />
Again, I don't have any naive notions about the success of this plan. This all depends on you. Rally as many people as you know and make this plan a success on December 9. If nothing else, we are making one last, well-deserved statement. Stay Cracked, my friends!Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11436788476842182847noreply@blogger.com109tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197921294935562325.post-20872961424900833592012-12-02T18:46:00.001-05:002012-12-03T09:45:15.005-05:00Read The ForumIf you are banned from the forum, I suggest going to <a href="http://proxify.com/">this website</a> and copy and paste this link: http://www.cracked.com/forums/?action=search<br />
<br />
Click on the forums and go to John Cheese's Magic Pimp Bus. The conversation everyone is upset about is on the last few pages. The website will hide your IP address and make it possible for you to read the forum.<br />
<br />
Nothing in this entire debacle has made my blood boil more than reading David Wong's comments. He knows full well that those who were making death threats and posting personal information are an extreme minority, yet he has blocked literally every person both on the forums and comments who even makes the suggestion that they are in the wrong. He acts as if the reason we're upset is because of Cheese's article on puns when he knows full well that it's vitriolic comments and mass bannings that have us upset. He's convinced a lot of people that the bans are only for those who are being extremely offensive towards John Cheese. This is why it is absolutely vital to get the word out. People must know what really happened.<br />
<br />

I don't plan on updating this very frequently, especially after this crazy incident is behind us. The only reason I made this was to call the Cracked.com staff out on their very poor handling of this incident.<br />
<br />
Here's a recount of the event. On November 29, the Cracked columnist John Cheese posted an article entitled, "5 Popular Jokes That Only Make People Want To Punch You." The article is pretty typical of a Cracked article, and even more typical of a John Cheese article. Most people found most of the article fairly easy to agree with. However, "derision" set in on his final points, which criticized memes and puns as a low form of comedy. Some of the more popular commenters like Darkstrolm and ConspiracyKeanu put on sad smilies to express their discontent. It was a joke of course, meant to bring humor to a somewhat awkward situation. From there, things took a turn for the worse. Many people were upset at John Cheese and called him out on it as commenters are wont to do. Most of the comments, while disagreeable, were civil, as most Cracked comments sections (contrary to popular belief) are. Some took it to a different level by posting John Cheese's personal information. Those who did were ridiculed vehemently by the rest of the commenters on the site. However, John Cheese took a different turn. He called the commenters names like "shit-smearing-toddlers" and "child-fuckers." To be fair, he probably had people shout worse back at him, but the problem was that he made a massive generalization and asserted that the comments section in general was like this, when it was clearly not. He would know that if he actually read the comments section, which he has asserted in the past that he does not.<br />
<br />
If that had been the end of it, everyone would have moved on. But the worst was yet to come. People took to the forums to express their discontent with the situation. This resulted in David Wong banning nearly every user from the forums disagreeing with them. Keep in mind that the vast majority of these posts were <i>respectfully</i> disagreeing with John Cheese, not lambasting him. At last count, I could only see 2 posts that disagreed with John Cheese, and they were by popular Cracked commenters who could easily spread the word if they were banned for no reason. However, word got out anyways, with Wong calling the commenters "cockroaches." Because my IP address has been banned, I cannot check the forums to see what is currently going on.<br />
<br />
Even then, everyone might have moved on. Then on December 2, the staff started taking down comments and banning people en masse. For simply disagreeing with the article! I myself got 2 accounts banned. One was ryanms92 and the other was rms92. On the article "The 6 Least Intimidating Military Logos Ever," I posted a comment that reads as follows:<br />
<br />
"I apologize if I'm ruining anyone's enjoyment of this article, but I
feel this is important. I was just banned from Cracked. My username is
ryanms92. I did not participate in the forums and to my knowledge,
committed no offense against Cracked's User Policy. The only thing I
could possibly think of that would have gotten me banned was me making a
dumb crack at John Cheese in the comments section. Not the forum, the
comments. In this very article. I also have no access to the forums. I
hope that this was simply a mistake, but if it is not, I am ashamed of
the attitude of the people on this website. This place is becoming more
and more unfriendly by the minute. I would like to see my account
reinstated immediately or given an explanation as to why I was banned. I
find this behavior completely unacceptable. I doubt my comment will
last long, so as a last request, I humbly ask those of you reading it to
thumbs up my comment so that anyone going through the same thing will
know they are not alone. Again, I apologize for being so morbid on a
Cracked article, but I feel this is very important, not just to me, but
to all Cracked users as a whole. Thank you."<br />
<br />
At the time of this posting the account has been banned and I cannot post comments, but the post surprisingly remains. Whether this is because they failed to notice it or if it's the fact that it's highly rated remains to be seen. Either way, this will remain as evidence of the fact.<br />
<br />
Cracked is doing a great disservice to its readership here. I can only hope that this situation is rectified. In the meantime, we need to get the word out and call Cracked out on their despicable display towards the people that make their website the most visited humor website in the world! I will post updates as the situation progresses. I am busy so I don't know how often I will be able to update, but I plan to check daily to see if anything warrants an update. Feel free to add my ryanms92 or rms92 accounts as a friend. As of now, I think I can still send messages, so at least we have that. Stay Cracked, my friends!<br />

EDIT: OK, now I can't send messages anymore. Never mind. Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11436788476842182847noreply@blogger.com58
