The Weekly World News has published its last ever issue.
*sniff*
Goodbye, Bat Boy. Goodbye, World's Fattest _________. Farewell to Bigfoot, Ed Anger, all the deformed pets and sufferers of unlikely conditions. How will we know now when aliens abduct political figures, or where we can find Jesus, Elvis, Buddha, or JFK? Where will we learn ancient Bible secrets that give winning Lotto combinations?
*sigh*
The world will not be the same. A great weirdness that graced us has passed.

Death of the tabloid subconscious

I used to love the sheer extravagance of their storys as a kid, then later I had a feeling that these were the transmitted dreams being broadcasted from the sleeping giant of the American Zeitgeist.

And I don't care what the disbelievers may say: Nostradamus did predict that Dick Cheney was bigfoot, that Elvis was the third gunmen and I can really melt those stubborn pounds away with the Area 51 diet!

There is still yet hope!

They won't be doing the print issue anymore, but, from what I heard, they WILL still be doing the web version.

You won't be able to browse Batboy's latest happenings while in the grocery store line, but you will be able to browse his life while being bored online.
