World Weekly News Dies
WWN, Weekly World News, that highly reputable weekly news tabloid you used to see in the grocery store, has ceased. Ahead of its time with headlines such as:
"DEAD ROCK STARS RETURN ON GHOST PLANE!"
"BLIND MAN REGAINS SIGHT AND DUMPS UGLY WIFE!"
"12 U.S. SENATORS ARE SPACE ALIENS!"*
we only have The Onion and Ironic Times to carry on the tradition. Tis a sad day! If my workplace was as rewarding as WWN's, I'd be working days.
* People in the know say that they underestimated the number by 3-4 Senators!
