They must have gotten too close to the truth with one of their stories, and the government took notice.

You imply that their articles were not the truth?

Please. Everybody knows that Bat Boy is actually half flying fox, half human. Flying foxes aren't technically bats. Didn't you get the memo?

Damn That's where I got ALL my news from. I'll bet the aliens had something to do with it.!!

You're to blame then!!!! You were supposed to BUY them. Grocery store is not a lending library!

 

[Mucho]

What will I read now while standing in the checkout line. 🙁

 

[Dirigible]

:shocked:

Not the WWN!!! Back in the '80s I actually had a subscription to it. This makes me very sad. 🙁

 

[kranky]

It's sad. When we're on vacation I always bought one to read on those days when we were too relaxed to go out.

I think there is a place for a tabloid like that - completely over the top, but playing it straight.

[festus]

Anyone see the Satan Clause story they had a few years back? Classic

 

[andylawcc]

[Mo0o]

Charlie Mackenzie: Hey Mom, I find it interesting that you refer to the Weekly World News as, "The paper." The paper contains facts.

May Mackenzie: This paper contains facts. And this paper has the eighth highest circulation in the whole wide world. Right? Plenty of facts. "Pregnant man gives birth." That's a fact.
