Description:
WEEKLY WORLD NEWS DEAD AT 28! - Weekly World News, the newspaper of record for the deranged, announced this week that it was folding on Aug. 3, leaving Bat Boy, Zombie Elvis and P'lod, the extraterrestrial who had an affair with Hillary Clinton, homeless. Launched in 1979, the rag somehow managed to beat the rest of the news media to scoops like "Oprah to Replace Lincoln on $5 Bill," "12 Senators Are From Outer Space" and "Pope Wants Mel Gibson as Successor." *Who Doesn't* Love the Weekly World News?** This is your chance to do what you always knew you could do...make a front page for the Weekly World News! If you've ever made up stories to go with crazy photos that you've come across or created bizarre headlines about something that has happened that just makes you crack up, this is your swap. In this swap you will make a single front page Weekly World News style. Size is standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Black & white printing is not only desirable, it's encouraged! Rules: I reserve the right to remove anyone I don't think will fit in this swap.

I have always thought that making up, I mean writing the articles for the WWN would be the best job ever!

Oh, what a shame! At least with the WWN you knew that it was all made up ;-)
