Weekly World News Magazine

Pros: The continuing saga of Bat Boy.
Cons: It is the guiltiest of pleasures.

You are all familiar with "Weekly World News", although few of you will admit to actually reading it. It is the sensationalistic "news" rag proudly displayed at the end of every supermarket checkout lane in the nation, comfortably nestled among the ...

Pros: You, too, will see the front cover and ask, "What the hell?"
Cons: Writing is sometimes uninspired; those rascals over there make more money than me.

Well, the Weekly World News did it to us again. There I was, standing in the checkout line of the local Kroger's when I saw the April 4, 2005, edition of the tabloid. What was the cover story? Only a piece of inspired journalism about a talking ...

Pros: Hard-hitting news about space aliens, Elvis, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and cavemen
Cons: Prices are up. Quality is WAAAAYYY down. I'm worried.

I'm angrier than Bigfoot at a Little Feat concert! Friends, I picked up a copy of Weekly World News, once a dependably well-written source of all vital news concerning space aliens, Elvis, weird news, bizarre perspectives, Bat Boy, and even gross, ...

Pros: Funny, Worth a good laugh
Cons: Stupid Made up articles

I have to admit that there is a guilty pleasure, to reading a Weekly World News Magazine. It is quite possibly the stupidest publication, with made up headlines that can make even the biggest crackhead seem sane. I'm not sure if it is possible to ...

Pros: Mindless, effortless entertainment.
Cons: Some people take it seriously.

I like to consider myself a "normal" person with a decent amount of intellect. I have a graduate degree, a challenging job, and I'm a card-carrying Mensa member. If you checked my bookshelf, you'd find a mix of classics such as "Catcher in the Rye," lots ...

Pros: EVERYTHING! Especially "Ask Dotti" Column.
Cons: The Ads take up precious space!

I can't think of ONE bad thing to say about this paper, except that Big Foot (the crossword puzzle) and the advertisements take up precious space that should be yielded to fabulous and HUMOROUS journalism.

I've been reading this newspaper for...

Pros: The articles, of course; the columnists, especially Dotti and the Sabak Sisters; and Bigfoot.
Cons: Ed Anger. And all the freakin' ads. And sometimes I wish certain articles were true.

When I was a child, I actually believed the articles in the Weekly World News. I remember reading an article back in the early 90’s that mentioned that the Chinese were plotting to bump the Earth out of orbit by all jumping at the same time. The ...

Pros: A humorous bunch of nonsense, from first page to last
Cons: Considered truth by those who just plain aren't fast

At the behest of Sordid-1, I have moved my ill-placed review of Weekly World News into the new category Epinions recently created for it, the category that he has already graced.

At the time of my first posting, I really had no choice,...

Pros: Defies logic
Cons: Defies logic

Incredulous Journalism tickles the funny bone Every so often (about once a week) a literar ...

Pros: Great Stories, A lot of people like the P. 5 girl.
Cons: Some stories can be so unbelieveable.
