RIP: the Weekly World News
Someone in another thread mentioned how dull the supermarket check-outs are now that the WWW is history. I have to agree. Share your favorite headlines/articles here.

My is still "Baby Born With Dead Dad's Tattoo"!

1. I used to love the Weekly World News.
My friend and I growing up would go down to the local Circle K and buy it each week. We were obsessed with their stories. Ah memories!

2. My personal favorite
was the flying saucer with a confederate flag painted on the bottom.

I don't know why, but that struck me as being very funny.

5. Yeah, what's the deal with all the trash news nowadays?
Bad enough that we hear about stupid celebrity shit on TV, now it's all over the supermarket checkout lane. I want my aliens, bigfeet and batboys dammit!

7. Elvis is dead, get over it.
He had a heart attack when he found out his daughter married Michael Jackson.

Wouldn't you? :)

10. And I'll never forget
"Twelve US Senators are Space Aliens". That could explain a lot...
