Congrats IGN, you've discovered Photoshop! Or Microsoft Paint; I can't tell if it's the program that's crap, or you.

Quality journalism that.
 
I listen to the Beyond podcast occassionally and the whole crew act like hyper five year olds.
 
I wish there were more good video game podcasts, but I just can't stand to listen to people screaming at each other.
 
Without Listen Up I'm down to Beyond (which I am very close to stopping), Bombcast and Official Playstation Magazine UK. But the latter is only monthly so... *sigh*.

Or too much time on their hands. Or maybe it's both. 
 
Either way, these lists are getting downright ridiculous, that's for sure.

@Video_Game_King: my thoughts exactly lol. 
 
i do actually kind of think that they are losing their mind. there was just another top ten list of something else. i kind of think that they are either have no news or they are starting to get bored.

I disagree though. Firstly, the Bombcast is a podcast, so that's totally different. Secondly, I feel like GiantBomb's more "out-there" pieces always have an underlying point or purpose. Thirdly, this was dumb. Fourthly, I don't see how these articles fit in with IGN's ethos.
 
But whatever, dumb article is dumb article. I know I just gave them a hit though. And at the end of the day, t'is what the t'Internet's all about.

For those who did, congratulations, you have even less intelligence and witt than the IGN writters.

Yes. Gamesradar does it right. And it's their main thing, so it's ok.

I laughed at how unbelievably silly it was. But it was supposed to be unbelievably silly, I wouldn't say IGN has lost it, that list pretty much achieved it's goal. And heck, did IGN ever have this "it"? :P
 
And at least they didn't do their usual list thing - where they have each separate entry to the list on a separate page to get more ad impressions.

I didn't think it was that funny either, but who cares. Some people find it funny and that is enough.
 
This is just one of those situations where it is cool to hate IGN and people are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Really? I'm not the type of person to hate on things he hasn't experienced (unless it's Bubsy or whatever), and I find this article to be mediocre. As a frame of reference, my standard is Cracked, a site that actually has some good list-based articles ( here, here, and right here).

If Giant Bomb posted this, the comments would say the same thing. Get your head out of your ass. It's a joke article. Who the fuck cares?

I was getting ready to say the same thing. Everyone knows that if the Giant Bomb guys had come up with this, it would the most epicly awesome funniest list ever created by man. I believe Joker said it best, Why So Serious?

Or anywhere on the internet.  The internet without porn and lists?  One site, a list of reasons why they should bring back porn. 
 
Yeah, not real funny, but it isn't cause for hate.  If I am not amused I just move on.
