Weekly World News shutting down
« on: July 25, 2007, 04:48:23 AM »
I guess this means somebody can scoop up the Batboy IP for cheap.  Also, I didn't realize that WWN was targeted during the anthrax mailings (remember those?).  Weird.

Never heard of it before, but reading that article it sounds like a sweet mag

That's lame.  WWN was funny, and much better to laugh at at the checkout stand than the Enquirer's "SOANDSOCELEBRITY IS TOO FAT TO GET MARRIED, KATO GIVES HIS EXPERT OPINION!" shit.

This is a blow to gullible people everywhere. :P  WWN was a fun read once in a blue simply to see just how bizarre their stories would be that week.

I knew someone who decorated their bathroom by wallpapering the walls with WWN clips.  It was pretty awesome to take a crap with bigfoot and batboy leering at you.
