Random "Cracked" article of the day

We've got threads for YouTube videos and fanfic recommendations - why not one for Cracked articles?

Here are two to start off the thread:

http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-urgent-qu ... ra-remake/]5 Urgent Questions About the Live Action 'Akira' Remake
(Yes, "Why?" is the first question asked. However, it isn't one of the five urgent questions.)

http://www.cracked.com/article_18990_6- ... think.html]6 Pieces of Music That Mean The Opposite of What You Think
(I actually knew #3 before I read the article... but I read album liner notes.)

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat

Re: Akira remake, I think George Takei summed it up best on his Twitter:

Live action of anime classic Akira will use white actors. In related news, remake of Roots to star Mel Gibson. #ShameOnWB

You just gotta love that guy.

Is there any reason to believe the Akira remake is anything but an April Fools joke?
