Hey, want to blow your mind tonight? Cracked.com contributor Jacopo della Quercia tracked down The 7 Most WTF Origins of Iconic Pop Culture Franchises. After all you want the answer to the question above (so do I; it wasn’t in the article, but I bet you’re wondering what it means), or how Nightmare on Elm Street was based on true events, what’s Rocky’s connection to the Predator, Should Pinocchio be going to church or at least putting down the porn, is that joke about Mario scarily accurate, was M. Night influenced by Nickelodeon long before screwing Aang and his friends, and why isn’t Will Ferrel allowed to talk about Fight Club?

Very cool! The ones not mentioned – Mr Howell would (obviously) be Avarice, Luvee would be Gluttony (wanting the best of everything at all times), leaving Mary Ann with Envy, which works, because she always felt inferior to, and jealous of, Ginger. How’s that sound?
