I saw this in the checkout line at my local soopermarkit. This shit is probably on display at every fucking checkout line in the country. Right there where mouth breathers and knuckle draggers can see it.

[BlooInBloo]

1. hahaha! Really, that could have been predicted.

:rofl:

[Richardo]

2. So what?

They can't do a Batboy story EVERY week.

[Ms. Toad]

18. You're confusing your trash-zines...

Batboy is in the one that is too cheap to print in color.

[bushmeister0]

43. The Weekly World News.

They went out of business. It was the original Onion. Sadly, it's no longer around to show us the photo of Obama meeting the aliens.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

45. Weekly World News RIP

I miss it very much.

[Yunomi]

47. Oh, how I miss The Weekly World News.

My favorite, and one I still have, was about Saddam's secret raptors (the dinosaur ones)that had escaped and were attacking our troops. It had pictures and everything!

[dixiegrrrrl]

54. Hillary will tell him all about it.

[Sheltiemama]

55. That was awfully nice of the Secret Service.

[Ms. Toad]

62. This sub-thread is really scary...

I had no idea how many people here would be able to actually name the B/W trash-zine. I know it is pretty impossible to not be aware of it (I obviously was) - but to actually know its name...and know that it went out of business...:scared:

[comrade snarky]

64. I miss them too...

I once heard one of their "reporters" being interviewed. He was asked if the Weekly World news would run a story about aliens stealing shoes if someone called claiming that had happened.

He said "Oh no, no, we'd need more evidence that. We'd have to see the place in the closet where the shoes were."


Brilliant!

[gmoney]

3. Well, it's certainly a "world exclusive" -- first I've heard of this.

:eyes:


Actually, this MIGHT just shame CNN and the MSM to let it drop...

[Kadie]

4. They know how to sell magazines, don't they...

:rofl:


New hope for the birthers...


:rofl:

[Howardx]

33. its not like they would ignore a new demographic

full of gullible neanderthals for long. not worried.

[graywarrior]

5. The birther's bible.

[Robb]

6. Good business, apparently. (More cover pics)

:shrug:

Edited to add: These were, by the way, among the first image results for "globe cover." :eyes:

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. WAIT !!! What gay sex scandal?????

Damn ! I need to go to the store more often.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

22. McCain is DYING?

Get me a copy, will ya?

And a couple of Hershey bars, while you're at it........................

[Robb]

26. That story was from 1974, I think.

:evilgrin:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

30. Oh..........

Well, is he better?

[Robb]

34. Nope. Turned into a newt. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

61. I'm trying to figure out what the Globe's agenda was with that cover specifically

McCain is dying and Obama is gay. Who do they want you to vote for? :rofl:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

63. Brad Pitt?

Makes some kind of sense somewhere, I believe................

[Stinky The Clown]

29. Ohmygawd!

Okay ..... obviously these guys have cornered the market on catering to crazy people.

I need to get out more.

[BlooInBloo]

Kudos to their VP. They're going to make literally a brazillion bucks off that.

[gkhouston]

7. Yeah, and now they'll think he was born in the country of "Forgery". n/t

[cynatnite]

8. It must be true if the Kennedy family wants to dig up JFK's body. n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. It's gotta be tough these days staying one insane step ahead of Fox.

[grytpype]

10. I'm more worried about Brad's boozing!!!!!

Please Brad, get the drinking under control, you're killing Angie!!!

[cynatnite]

17. It keeps me up nights. n/t

[Tangerine LaBamba]

25. They're living apart, you know -

Angie couldn't take his long, late-night phone calls to Jen.

Those crazy kids!!

[Sheltiemama]

53. I'm worried about Barry Manilow!

[flvegan]

11. From their site (yeah, sorry about that)

"Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate is a crude forgery, according to experts who have analyzed the document and other investigators who insist the President is covering up the truth about where he was really born. In a blockbuster Special Report, experts present photographic evidence they say proves forgery. See for yourself!"

So it'll be (already debunked and disproven) idiot birthers dragged out as experts. Indeed.

But then, it is The Globe. Next week, Michael Jackson will be alive and hunting down Osama bin Laden.

[cynatnite]

15. Well, I hope Fox picks this up. n/t

[Ron Green]

12. Hey, it's the GLOBE, not the National Enquirer. Sheesh.

[silverweb]

14. Site's down.

Must be good. I'll check back later.

[question everything]

16. Eureka! Finally a way to increase sales!

Why else? Next would be an alien who is actually Obama's parent. Or a long lost twin?

[Vinca]

19. When my brother opened a professional office I was going to buy

him a bunch of these rags for his waiting room as a joke gift. I just couldn't bring myself to pick 'em out of the rack.:rofl:

[Robb]

20. I go through the same thing every couple of years

...Look to buy them for gag gifts, but find they're kind of expensive, and I'm a cheap bastard. :D

[WePurrsevere]

42. They really are terribly pricey for cat litter box liners.. .

goodness knows that's all they're good for but my cats would probably refuse to soil their paws on such stench... they have more discerning taste. :eyes:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

27. I used to bring them into work once in a while and send them around with routing labels.

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. How dare they! I mean really! Dig up JFK's Body? Fucking Bullshit. n/t

[Sheltiemama]

56. But ... but ... JFK isn't really dead!

I remember when they used to plop an old man in a wheelchair, throw a plaid blanket over his lap, wheel him to JFK's grave at Arlington and say it was him.

[Rockholm]

23. Saw that yesterday. Turned the pile backwards.

[corpseratemedia]

24. well at least Trace Adkins packed on 50 lbs

:donut: :donut: :donut:

[armyowalgreens]

28. I'm pretty sure even the biggest morons know those magazines are fake.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

31. My dear boy,

just as there are those who believe Fox News, there are those who believe the tabloids.

And their votes count exactly the same as ours.

How's that for a ballbuster, huh?

[armyowalgreens]

36. It disturbs me greatly.

:yoiks:

[PSzymeczek]

66. Not really.

My second ex-husband used to refer to the Weekly World News as "the paper".

[ima_sinnic]

32. brad pitt is drinking??!! oh NOES!!

:cry:

[comrade snarky]

65. Well, he did just work with Quentin Tarantino

That could drive anyone to the bottle.

[liberalmuse]

35. Well that sure knocked me sideways. I mean, when The Globe starts publishing false stories...

Oh, wait... :eyes:

[Hutzpa]

37. I saw it too

but that doesn't mean I have to come here and post it, I have access to information
that prevents me from doing just that, now, unless your motive is to start a flame
war.

Why would you use that rag as a talking point to continue the false idiotic talking
point? Why??

Now, Are you a Birther humper?? or Race thumper??? which is which???? :shrug:

:grr:

[Stinky The Clown]

41. Are you fucking serious?????

Get a ......... sense of humor.

Some people's kids ...... honestly.

[Hutzpa]

46. well i'm human

I'm just pissed with this birther nonsense so I failed to see the sense of humor,
went over my head.

[proud2BlibKansan]

60. And I want it to go on and on forever

Makes them look really stupid.

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. ok I will say it, this time around the yellow journalist

followed the right wing crazies. Usually this goes like this... printed on the Mirror or other suitable paper, preferably two.

Jumps the atlantic to fringe, moves to Fox, then moves to the rest of the MSM.

The echo went a different way this time.

[BlueIris]

39. Yeah, I just saw that myself and starting cracking up in the checkout line.

And that's an awfully nice photo they've got of the president, there.

[bkkyosemite]

40. Yep saw it myself in Safeway.

[G_j]

44. another famous cover

Dick Cheney Is A Robot

http://lclane2.atspace.com/cheney.html

[HopeHoops]

48. SPACE ALIENS FORGED OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

Elvis personally confirmed that it is a fake.

[spanone]

49. is that the wall street journal?

look trace adkins packed on 50 pounds....

angie warns boozing brad

and oddly enough, the globe has all the evidence on michael jackson

[RagAss]

50. OMFG ! Brad is boozing???

[AsahinaKimi]

51. I was more expecting ..

PROOF OBAMA IS REALLY AN ALIEN!! :crazy::spray:

[Chisox08]

69. OMG! He admitted that he was from the planet Krypton

and his father Jor-el sent him here to save the planet earth. His real name isn't even Barack Obama its Kal-el.

[HarveyDarkey]

52. Do you mean to imply.....

That Brad's been drinking? What is this world coming to?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

57. Isn't the article about the "Kenya" BC being fake? Like, April Fool?

Never mind, I see (on edit) looking at the OP that they are talking about the Hawaiian, legit, one.

[Canuckistanian]

58. They're digging up JFK?

Well, it's about time.

They never DID clear up that murder thing.

[jeanmarc]

59. My guess....

on Trace Adkins 50 lbs of new weight is because he has a shit diet.

Shocking!

[BurtWorm]

67. There's a reason it's a Globe exclusive.

They just made it up.

[mamaleah]

68. What....no secret Brad/Jen/Kate/Jon/Hilary/Oprah love child to report on this week?

It's the Globe...you didn't expect any decency, did you?
