Very funny.



I love cracked.com. It's 1,000 times funnier than the old magazine (I was a Mad guy).

Great find! That is one funny piece- funny because it's all true. Thanks for sharing!


Edit: So good, I had to read it a second time. This was the funniest part IMO:

For 21st century stubble, three blades isn't anywhere near enough. You might as well just try to slap that beard off...

"They just can't admit that they nailed the design back during the Wilson administration." (cracked.com)

That's the biggest fact of Gillette's empire.

Good article. The fact that I use a razor made half a century ago tells you all you need to know about why Gillette, Schick, and others continue to "advance the technology" of shaving.

"take it from me Smoothcheek Wilson..."

haha great article!

the last one though....toilet paper. There are indeed better/worse brands when it comes to that stuff. Although the article was just pointing out the gimmicks with pattern design and not the quality of different brands.

I laughed pretty hard at how the Fusion made the Mach III look like a giant piece of you know what.
And yes, the "Smoothcheek Wilson" photo is hilarious. Sweet as a ****.

Well they DID say that as long as it isn't Russian Gulag brand... by which I took they meant the quality used in public restrooms.
As far as other brands go there really isn't any difference between the store brands and the "big TP" brands in effectiveness.

define effectiveness

I've never tried any store brands. if i think about it i'll pick some up and give it a go. but IMO Charmin Ultra Soft is a lot better than Angel Soft.

Hilarious, yet true!
