UFOS REVEAL NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECY:
WEEKLY WORLD NEWS CLOSING!
Devotees of tabloid weirdness will have to survive on the thin gruel sandwiched between celebrity divorces and miracle diets, now that the often-parodied but never equalled Weekly World News is shutting down. Here's the story from Reuters (which has occasionally ventured into WWN territory itself).
The News was the only national publication to bring us reports of Bat Boy, the hole to Hell, and similar stories. What made it great was that the publishers obviously didn't believe a word of their nonsense. With the Weekly World News gone, we'll be left with nothing but humorless cranks for our fix of weirdness.
