Holy crap, "Cracked" is back. As a send-up of "lad mags" like Maxim and FHM.

Cracked-what you buy when the newstand is out of Mad!

Not anymore, apparently.

I used to prefer Cracked to Mad. And this (new?) bloggy Cracked site kicks Mad Online's ass.

I never liked Mad. I did like cracked for a few years, when I was 14 or so.

As a kid I bought Mad and all of the immitators and Cracked, for a while, was funnier than all of the others. But I can't imagine this comeback being that good. Of course, I'm also not in Junior High anymore, so it's probably not meant for me anyway.

I borrowed the Mad CD-ROM from a friend and was surprised at how well some of those bits held up(and the art was stellar most of the time). I haven't seen an issue of Cracked in over 20 years, and I'm wondering if those still have any merit. I can't believe they were still making issues 2 years ago!
