Я вообще я согласна с этим. Только, понимаешь, "Cracked.com" - это же сатирический сайт.

Мне кажется, что они смеются больше над Америки чем над России. Типа "Стевен Колбер(т)"

(please feel free to correct a any mistakes! My Russian is not quite fluent, as you can no doubt see :)

Cool, I just wanted to be sure)))) I did not want to offend anyone))) I was worried the sarcasm might not be apparent to everyone.

I mean, Americans do not always get sarcasm. Russians have a sharper sense for it, I think)))
