Alas, my friends, it is a dark day for journalism everywhere. For on August 27th, the Weekly World News will be printing its last issue. No more Bat Boy. No more P'lod. No more Hitler sightings. We'll simply have to make do with real fake news from now on.
In that spirit, here are some current favorites from The Onion:
Live From Congress: The Skull Fucking Bill Of 2007
As A Working Mom, It's Hard To Find Time To Masturbate
Fucking Yankees, Reports Nation
And an old favorite:
Bob Marley Rises From Grave To Free Frat Boys From Bonds Of Oppression
And finally, a story so unbelievable it simply had to be true:
Texas Rangers beat Baltimore Orioles 30-3 - Fox Sports
That sounds like the best job ever. Reading that made me want to write a book about WWN.

I'll really really miss P'lod. He was really my favorite, meeting with everyone from Bill and Hillary to accurately picking the winner of every presidential race since Reagan, how does he do it? That's an alien secret he'll be taking to the grave.
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace P'lod.
