Six Reasons the Beatles Suck

2012/08/15

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Paul, John, George and – to a lesser extent – Ringo, please forgive me. I’ve been commissioned by Slacktory editor and known hedonist Nick Douglas to write a list of six reasons why the Beatles weren’t the greatest band of all time. I would have turned him down, but I’ve got two cats to feed and, well, I need the money.

What’s worse is if this piece is well-received (or at least generates a significant amount of traffic), Nick will make me write other articles tearing apart the things I love. So please, stop reading now. Implore your friends and relatives to resist the brazen headline Nick’s bound to slap on this thing. And above all else, know that I’m so, so sorry.

That said, here are six reasons why The Beatles kind of sort of maybe shouldn’t be considered the most innovative rock group of all time…

Read the reasons. Click it! Don’t listen to Alex, he’s too soft! »

Follow Friday: @MottRomney2012

@MottRomney2012 is equal parts political candidate, cyborg and Egyptian hawk deity. But more than anything, he’s an AMERICAN. The only question is: can his bizarre rants about “Oboama” and the failings of the “U.A.S.” government score him some write-in votes this November?

Siri Tells John Malkovich a Better Joke

2012/05/25

Watch Siri amuse the man voted ‘Most Likely to Be Tilda Swinton in a Bald Cap’. »

Samuel L. Jackson’s Real Siri Ad

2012/04/18

Samuel L. Jackson’s iPhone ad was cool, but it didn’t have enough swearing, and it wasn’t realistic about Siri’s capabilities. We fixed that.
