I laughed like a hyena at Seanbaby’s recent [8 Most Baffling Food Mascots of All-Time.](http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-8-most-baffling-food-mascots-all-time_p3/) Seanbaby’s got a unique writing style that you either love or hate, but read this simply for the photoshopped comics. The entire thing is worth it when you get to #1. I’d about died laughing! 😃 If you like the writer, you HAVE to read these 3 entries on romance, [4 Most Irresponsible Sex Advice Books of All Time](http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-4-most-irresponsible-sex-advice-books-all-time/), [4 Romantice Books to Disgust and Annoy your Lover](http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-romantic-books-to-disgust-annoy-your-lover/), and [11201 More Pieces of Bad Advice.](http://www.cracked.com/blog/11201-more-pieces-terrible-advice/) I cannot believe Godek is real but I’m so glad he is I also love [Cracked.com](http://Cracked.com)’s nature articles, as I have a lot of fear to dole out and need greater avenues for an even distribution. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > I had to look this up. Even more traumatizing than _Watership Down_, according to this piece, is **Pom Poko** , about _tannuki_ (translated as “raccoons”) who are shapeshifters fighting against evil developers. Apparently tanuki are traditional Japanese characters, and part of the folklore is about their testicles. Pom Poko is an awesome film. It’s also very bittersweet and moving, which is a very odd thing to say about a movie featuring rodents that use their oversized scrotums as parachutes. It’s Japan, man. Just roll with it. ---

Every once in a while someone starts a thread on the SDMB in which they ask how they can move from the U.S. to another country. We might as well just reply to all such threads by citing this article from Cracked, which explains why that country probably doesn’t want them and why they would be unhappy there is they did get in: > **[6 Reasons Your Plans to Move Abroad Might Not Work Out](https://www.cracked.com/article_19363_6-reasons-your-plans-to-move-abroad-might-not-work-out.html)** > > Every month or so, you probably know of someone who just gets fed up with America and wants to leave. Make sure you show them this first. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favourite-wastes-of-time-best-cracked-com-articles/589144.md?page=2)
