Growing up, every single Tuesday I would BURST from the doors of school into the doors of the supermarket and pick up the latest issue - following the adventures of Batboy and the politically opinionated aliens. I suspect Weekly World News will LIVE - LIKE ELVIS, JFK, AND HITLER DID!

+13

yeah...Batboy was my hero.

+5

Now people fill their unsourced dumb sh*t quota on the internets. Damn you YTMND. You killed Batboy.

I alway prefered The Sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_(supermarket_tabloid)

The world's last reliable news source, shot to death by a public who just doesn't care anymore. Sad, really.

ALL HAIL OPRAH

Hail Truck-farmer! HAIL TRUCK-FARMER!!!!!!!!!!

If the highlight of your week was picking up several pages of bullsh*t, then perhaps rethinking your life is in order?

Oh I get it. You're insinuating that I'm a loser. Well....yeah.

+13

I'm not insinuating anything, Its just that your original above post made it sound like your life revolved around the Tuesday reading of WWN.

-31 [show comment][hide comment]

Well it WAS the highlight of my week, next to Brisco County Jr and Herman's Head.

+13

Well... To each their own. I still don't think this merited a YTMND, but I rest my case.

'We found where God lives' says Scientist ROFL

"Dick Cheney is a ROBOT" went perfectly with the music!

Weekly World News is good, but The Onion is much better.

FYI that kitten was innocent. Killing that fat *ss Rosie O'Donnell is not murder it's salvation.

+4

Just liek when Bob Barker burst out of her stomach with his lahzar eyEz!? AMIRITE?

my life revolved around firing up my apple ][ and playing Murphy's Minerals until the sun went down. Then I'd kiss my wife and go to sleep facing away from her in bed.

+3

Sign the petition inside or she dies!

+1

BRISCO COUNTY JR FTW!!!

+1

I agree with KDarkwater, The Onion was always much better.

Yeah... I hated tabloids until I pointed it out to some idiot in line.. The headline was "Snake Tattoo Bites Man". The guy was all "Wow, that's amazing! Hand me one of those!" ...I've been reading World Weekly News for years since that and still think it's hilarious

They'll be back...

May the memories live on. I still can't get over how my mother damned those who read it, so bloody fun.

+1

No. No, time for anger. This is a conspiracy. They knew WWN was getting the information out. They knew. They have been trying to take it down for years. But they always failed to return the masses to ignorance. But not that have succeeded. They are everywhere. Now that we do not have WWN to guide us, we will now phase back into an era of ignorance. They are everywhere, and they are watching, waiting to crush any new magazine that make come up to liberate us. Bat Boy save us.

I hope to god no one took that newspaper seriously.

One of those rednecks looked surprisingly like Alfred E. Neuman From Mad Magazine.

+1

That book looks almost as retarded as this website.

WEEKLY WORLD NEWS KILLED BY KITTEN!

He's a shut-in who gets all of his food from meals-on-wheels and internet grocery delivery companies.

Actually, let me do this WWN style. "Howard Hughes is ALIVE! Found frequenting the popular website YTMND, he surfs the web with tissue boxes on his feet."

+2

or hes canadian

-1

OH! You mean it's that one magazine that I saw a few times at the checkout aisle of the grocery store? I didn't know people actually read that.

-2

So you 1 it? you phail.

NOOO NEDM HOW COULD J00?

god i love that magazine. i used to always wander off when my mom was shopping and just stand in the aisle reading it.

+2

AWWWW :( :( :(

Holy f*ck noooo

+1

the newspaper stand won't be the same without it.

kitten guilty of murder was my favorite

this is awesome

Batboy is a busy man. Too bad his adventures are over.

But...what will happen to Bat Boy? *sniff*

Here's hoping the editors burn in Hell for eternity.

Oh wait. That's the Enquirer.

RIP Weekly World News

Bummer.

+1

Why wasn't YTMND on the cover. It's not real. Is it?

Damn! I love Weekly World News, I'm one of those guys who goes right to those stupid f**king things when I walk into a Rite-Aid or CVS, it kind of pisses me off that they're suspended. BAT BOY RIP

+2

And don't forget the 5 warning signs of a dirty nerd http://www.userfriendly.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?form=int&action=text_search&searchobject=Felinoid

Well the "real news" is just about as fake as WWN so I guess they just gave up.

I'd believe it

hahaha bat boy

DICK CHENEY IS A ROBOT!

Oprah-worshipping aliens --> 5

otters are cool

I picture the men(and aliens) behind this publication to be in the late 40's early 50's, with that kind of tongue and cheek humor your uncle Dan has that makes you wonder if he's a little too old to be wearing something that says "Holy Shirt"

+6

I think you mean "tongue-in-cheek", but yeah, I can see that.

+2

lol bat boy

+1

bat boy forever!!!!

+2

goodnight, funnyman

+1

WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GET NEWS NOW?!?! CNN?!?! MSNBC?!?! News is dead to me.

+5

Abraham Lincoln was a woman.....I knew it!

+1

RAWR!

I live in Roswell. The Alien ghost story just scratches the surface. Also batboy should become a new fad. Start your ytmnd's gentlemen.

Batboy belongs to Fark.

Bleh, Fark=real "news". Plus I think Batboy's older

its all fake... except Cheney being a robot, that's totally true.

+1

FUCCKKK

+1

I used to buy this publication when I was in 5th or 6th grade, back when I watched professional wrestling.

I was there when all these things happened. I was quite high.

+2

bat boy goes to college

RIP. Also, batboy never aged.

Needs more Manigator.

-3

I think Gaia takes in f*ggots like you.

+3

haha, dangly parts

that is f*ckin funny

I'll always have my 'POPE JOHN PAUL II MISSING' issue. I think they claimed he was 'out for a stroll in the woods' or something. Hahahaha. I think I got this one too: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/Mermancaught.jpg

I had a HUGE collection, but much like my other collections, it didn't survive my divorce. :(

+4

At least you had a collection. You know how hard it was to find WWN in the UK? :P

but bat boy could live on people through ytmnd

I remember seeing those in the stores all the time. I've seen Batbay on many of the covers. This ytmnd reminds me of Men In Black a lot too. One part in the audio sounds just like the theme too

first thing that comes to mind is MIB, the second, danny elfman. mad props for finding a PD piece that has that same feel to it

5 for royalty-free music alone. also, BUSH RENAMES THE PLANETS

mmm?

The Greys may have supported Clinton, but the Galgameks were all about Perot.

Weekly World News is funny. You aren't.

Now that's not a very nice thing to say!

ok, I take it back, some of your stuff is funny, but not a slideshow of Weekly World News covers

What a fun job.

this cannot happen.

what's the point?

i've never seen the connection ytmnd has with pop camp and topicality either . . .

*salute* We will always remember you, Batboy. Godspeed, mutant. Godspeed.

WWN is done? How else will I be in tune with the rest of the world? Oh yeah...YTMND. Duuuuh!

-1

made me smile :)

-1

Idiots.... They could have made this paper a winner. They just had the wrong business model. If they had marketed and operated like The Onion (Free weekly, advertiser and subscription based revenue) they would have made a killing. Who wouldn't pick up the WWN every week if it were free? And what advertiser would miss the chance to slam dunk the 18-34 market??? Maybe someone will buy the paper and revive it... one can only hope.

-1

Good points.

+1

RIP

+1

Where will I get my credible news now?

+2

Yeah, um.. what was the point in making this? Who cares if its gone. Do we really need a fckin slideshow memorial for a weekly bullsh*t magazine? I think not...

-4 [show comment][hide comment]

You think WRONG

+1

THEY WERE BANNED FOR SUPPORTING HARRY POTTER

holy sh*t your still alive :D

yo, you forgot saddam and osama's ape-baby!

Extremely boring slideshow.

If only real news were this interesting.

+2

I bought an issue of that when I was younger, and it gave me nightmares.

lol

THIS IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE TRUTH!!! ELVIS IF YOU SEE THIS POST PLEASE SEND JIMMY HOFFA AND HIS ALIEN FRIENDS TO SMITE THE NAY SAYERS!!!

The music was a perfect match for this.....

+3

Truth.

Now how will I find all my information on Bat-Boys antics!?

thanks, finally not some f*cking dogfighting or harry potter(aka not funny) bullsh*t.

Satan captured in Iraq, lol

they told the truth where everyone else was afraid to report it...

wow, no more credible news now i guess

Never heard of this magazine, don't get it, don't care, boring, stupid slideshow bullsh*t, you suck etc...

Maybe you should have just refrained from voting at all then, since this site is obviously irrelevant to you.

Antwan, go jump on a sharp object

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T LET THEM TAKE MY SNOzTALGIA

they should have killed FOX News instead :'(

F*ggy short film.

-1

They actually sell a book that is good compilation of these news articles, I think I saw it at Barnes and Noble. And of course I grabbed it and started reading it in the aisle. It's like a tribute or collectors deal, or something lol

Great! Now what am I going to do to kill time while waiting in line at the supermarket?

hmm...it's a gif image file, an audio file, and some text. It must suck to be you...all blind and dumb and stuff.

It's a f*cking slideshow, retard.

I think technology has improved passed our 28k days, our modems can handlea little more then a small picture set on tile.

lol

Noooooooooooooooooo!

It will certainly be missed. Hey, at least there's still Weird N.J.

I used to pick these up every week on the way home from school. "HITLER'S MUSTACHE CLONED!" was always one of my favorites. Why are they discontinuing it?

"We found were God lives" says scientist

It seems the government has finally shut down the last remaining reliable news source.

RIP Bat Boy. :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

-2

I mourn Bat Boy's passing

Damn, now there won't be any decent entertainment in the supermarket - just piece of sh*t celebrity magazines.

Can I say: Win?

i especially love the computer virus one..because if a computer was to do that, it would be a dell GX280. poorly designed hot deathtraps.

Best newspaper ever.

It seems like whenever they run out of stories, they just incorporate batboy into some otherwise normal piece of news, hahahahaha

+2

Here's to hoping alien-cat hybrids save them at the last minute.

+1

<3

You know what's sad? It took them that long to say "Who the hell buys this sh*t?"

+1

lolz i worked for american media for a year. that company is going down the f*cking tubes, they been closing magazines and firing people constantly the last few years. i did get lotsa free weekly world news sh*t though...

how could you possibly forget the Chaos Cloud?

strange as it may seem, the "ape-man" that baffled scientists was real! The Discovery Channel ran an hour-long special on him! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_the_chimp

aliens worship oprah. rofl.

I like when people come up to you when you're reading it and tell you that most of the stories in WWN are fake. NO F*CKING SH*T!

batboy leads 3 state police chase.

slideshows are funny

-2

They told me about how the moon was actually a dragon egg that's beginning to hatch! Now where ma I going to learn about this kind of stuff :(

*Starts to applaud slowly*

My crazy grandma reads them.

Yes, this boring slideshow clearly deserves such high ratings.

-4

I want to read more about God's to-do list.

BATBOY FTW

Dishwashe Pump keeps lady alive ftw

THEY WORSHIP OPRAH!

Ridiculous. It was probably the only tabloid that really had fun with fake news, instead of baiting the celebrity-infatuated public with scandals of pointless proportions. Well, long live The Onion!

lmao! Aliens worship Oprah!

I remember first reading one, in the first grade, and I believed they actually found a mermaid...

Oh man that sucks balls. Batboy was an American icon

That was f*cking awesome. Very fun viewing. Thanks for creating that.

4 for not including the "OSAMA RECRUITS A CLONED HITLER!" headline.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh man, i'll always remember the first article I saw and laughed at.....Dick Cheney being a Robot. Halarity.

lol, tabloids

;_;

I used to buy these :(

butt secks.

I love the one where they cloned hitlers nose and it grew a mustache.

+2

I remeber the one about a woman being bigfoots love slave and how she was pregnant. I'm gonna miss it.

+1

And "Babies found living on Titanic" that was a great one.

+1

BAT BOY and NEDM!

I give it a four ONLY because its lacking my favorite one, "Noah's Ark Found on Mars".

YES! you have the Oprah one

DISHWASHER PUMP KEEPS WOMAN ALIVE

Awesome. I still have the original Batboy issue...

rofl

I remember seeing the "Hubble finds Heaven" issue at my local supermarket. Godspeed You! WWN Emperor

That brought tears to my eyes.... oh, how I will miss Weekly World News. I salute you for such a touching memorial.

Hey, lets put a bunch of things I didn't make up in a loop, throw in some music that isn't related at all, and I can get on the front page! Dude, I know where you're coming from, but I would have liked it a lot more if you had put some creativity behind it.

For what its worth, I agree the rating for this is too high and it didn't deserve to stay on the front page forever (I expected it to make the up and coming and get knocked out) I guess everyone loves WWN as much as I did though.

Abraham Lincoln was a women!!!!!!! And everything they printed was 100% true...its the other news that are lieing(lawl) I loved Weekly World News

i really enjoyed the music, really.

I bet those rednecks who shot down the flying saucer could defeat robot dick cheney.

MOAR PAGE 5 GIRL

They worship Oprah! I knew it!

LMAO

Somewhere in the high desert, Art Bell wipes away a tear.

sniff

5'd for batboy reoccurance

How about The Sun?

RIP, Bat Boy

F*cking brilliant...

OMFG! ...LINCOLN WAS A WOMAN! XD

Why would they shut it down! Batboy did this, didn't he?

Oh HORSESH*T. That sh*t's cheaper than Mad Magazine and a better source of laughs. It truly will be missed.

WWN always gave me a laugh when I went to the supermarket. Now what will? All there is now is crappy celeb magazines. I have one question, though. Were the creators of this magazine ACTUALLY serious? Because if so, that'd be more pathetic than the people that acually believe it... Also, ROFL Oprah bible.

i work at a circle k over night, and let me tell ya, WWN was awesome to read. they cant take it away. What will happen to miss america, the gayest american hero

The Paper is dead! Long live The Paper!

took more than 5 seconds = waste of my time

-3

Is it... serious? It isn't serious. *puts gun in mouth* it CAN'T BE!

that computer virus to human things is real, it happened to my parents.

Computer virus spreads to humans, lol

Who loves you, baby?

It really is a shame those guys closed shop. I always enjoyed reading them when waiting in line.

Since when is it news that aliens worship oprah?
