To give you an idea of what it's like here's a few of its headlines, see if you can decide which are true and which stretch the imagination a little. "Wise Guy Bares Bottom on Highway and Gets Slammed into the Hereafter" - witnesses say he was standing on the highway with his pants down. True? I'd give it a 50/50.
"Space Aliens Drained My Blood Then Filled My Veins With a Mysterious Yellow Fluid" this probably stretches the imagination a little so I'd stick at 1/10
"All Cars To Have Ejection Seats By 2001", I think we all know that this one is a bit suspect, but then again what is that button for under the steering wheel? Maybe I should give it a try.
"Town Celebrates 45-Foot-Tall Goat Made Of Rice" I'd like to think this is entirely true but when I tried to find pictures of said goat all I found was the exact same article printed in 1994, I really wanted to see a goat made out of rice. Sob.
"Six Year Old Brats Feed Babysitter To Poodles" Words fail to describe what I'm thinking, the article even has pictures of the six year olds and the babysitter next to the poodle. Mmm.
Now my favourite, "DIETERS BEWARE! Don't Lick Stamps If You Want To Lose Weight" I love this because it's wrong on so many levels, the article goes on to describe that one lick of a stamp is the equivelent to one-tenth of a calorie and those looking to lose weight should consider self adhesive versions. Priceless.
Still, previous famous issues have included "Bat Child Found In Cave", "12 U.S. Senators Are Aliens" and the awesome "Woman Killed By Fur Coat - Full Length Mink Coat Comes Alive and Bites Widow to Death". Fabulous headlines and the reason I will buy only the Weekly World News to catch up with all the latest real world happenings.
I just wished they would use my headline "Twenty Foot Rabbit Hutch Called Bunnyopolis With Artwork and Carpets For Three Giant Rabbits", hang on, would I believe that if I read it?
