Al Swearengen meets Winnie the Pooh

Recently, CRACKED Magazine has undergone some changes.  They’ve gotten...how can I put this?  Edgier.

You gotta read the rest.  :) The explanation for the bit being on the website?

“100 Acre Deadwood” was originally supposed to run in issue #1 of Cracked—but The Powers That Be in the magazine industry intervened before we could get it to print. A comic strip composed exclusively of beloved children’s characters swearing, shooting smack and having sex with hookers was viewed by some to be a “bit too much” for our first issue, for some reason.

Keep in mind that the previous incarnation of Cracked was geared towards 12 year-olds. Now imagine that 12 year-old picking up a copy of Cracked and reading about Christopher Robbin getting ass-raped by drunken turn-of-the-century gold miners, and you can sort of see why A) we thought that would be hilarious, and B) we were told that under no circumstances could the comic run.

Dude.  CRACKED?  I may have to read this thing now.  :)
