Why doesn't the book cover mention your writing for Something Awful?

The writing is bad.

get that OUT of my face posted:

any idiot can write for Cracked though. as in, you can send in a half-baked, poorly researched list and they'll probably publish it

loving David Wong is a superstar at Cracked, and he's basically the Poochie of transgressive literature and probably many other facets of his life.

You motherfuckers. You ungrateful bastards. You're lucky Asterios ever bothers to poo poo out these terrible weekly articles. He was a loving intern at The Onion, okay? He wrote a goddamn book for gently caress's sake. And you bitches have the audacity to sit here and criticize him for being an unfunny, self-promotional, hack of a loser that can barely put together a 200-word feature without tripping all over his own stupid dick?

Well look in the loving mirror, okay guys??

Keep up the good work, Asterios.

At least this one reminded me of that story where DTJr. was a deadbeat alcoholic loser in college and one day elder Trump showed up and knocked on his son's dorm door. When he answered he was an obviously hungover unwashed mess and Donald slapped him so hard he fell to the ground, and said "Put on a suit and meet me outside" leaving his son splayed out on the ground like a rag doll.

Anyway, article sucked.

Hey, it worked for Buzzfeed!

It is especially cool and good after years of Something Awful taking user-submitted photoshop projects and slapping their watermark on it, something goons used to make fun of ebaumsworld for doing.

ALERT: my hot new book is almost totally sold out of its first printing! If you wanna get your hands on this bad boy before Christmas, hop on Amazon, because they just bought out the very last of our stock.



this looks like a book made out of a blog.

this looks like a one-off article in a 2000s-era MAD Magazine.

this looks like it was written by your boss's wife.

this looks like a book that thinks Invader Zim was cancelled way too soon.

this looks like the afterword should be "~if this made u smile, send it to 10 of ur friends! God Bless~"

this looks like something your lovely uncle would get you as a last-minute christmas gift. he copped it from a Barnes & Noble 50% Off bin in between opening the plastic on the magazines and turning starbucks's largest table into his own personal study/reading room.

My favorite Kaufman bit was when he just showed people pictures of boats with names like The SS Poop with no context or setup.

You know, the thought of some beautiful 100-foot yacht being called, like, the SS Turds or something is sorta funny. I just don't know if it'd work with a regular boat, much less 8-10 regular boats one right after the other becaue really, it's just the one kinda middling joke.

I feel like a "funny texts from your drug dealer" front page article has already been done, and fairly recently.

I gotta ask, Is Dirty Frank referencing the classic 2000AD character or the Pearl Jam song?

I was going to write something scathing about this five-jpg article but really my real question is where did you get that totally sweet picture of Tim Buckley for the header

e: it would be selling the article short to say it only consists of jpgs. It also has an assortment of various words.

I have to hand it to this article. The footer contained a handy link to Zack's new article which I enjoyed. If I had never clicked on this other loving thing I may have never seen it!

I had written a long carepost about how lovely and unreadable and mystifying this article is, but I erased it. Suffice it to say: it sucks and you suck. Written lisps aren't funny. Written lisps where they don't make sense are extra not funny. Cernovich is a maddox-esque self-help manosphere moron, but not the delusional redpilled zorro you wrote about here. You keep switching between purple writing, alt-right language, and self-effacing oversharing, sometimes in the same sentence. You wrote the same "jerking off in the bathroom" joke twice but it was already trite and boring the first time. Misspelling words hasn't been funny, ironically or otherwise, in many years. Just gently caress off with the humor writing already.
