Do they even try anymore?

I always woundered why my mom wouldn't let me buy these magazines. They always had the funniest stories. My favorite was the call sex line for your pets. It wasn't as funny when we called the number and found it to be real.

Dale Brown is a GOD.

FTA:
"Imagine thousands of troops soaring through the skies just by 'wishing it,' "

Do they also wear green tights and imagin food to eat?

/Bring me Peter Pan!

why do they keep greenlighting the made-up cr*p from this childrens comic book?

Do they even try anymore?


Clearly, the answer is no.

the mental image of a scientist using a butterfly net to catch a fly-away soldier cracks me up.....undignified indeed

The best investigative journalism on the planet.

Thought that was sposed to be a big farking secret...who told? Guess they forgot to mention the glow in the dark side effect.

"Sgt. Frank Wand" LMAO

The U.S. military or Canadian?




/oh, I'm just kidding ya, you frozen goofballs
//here, have a donut

FLYNAVY

Like this?

"Suffice to say we flew our choppers toward the second star on the right and then straight on till morning. We took some casualties from pirates, but the pixie herself was dispatched with a carefully hidden bomb."

Yeah, but, where were the ninjas?

If it wasn't true they wouldn't print it.

/Naive
//Sarcastic? How do you spell that?

Get your face away from that Cheer! We need it pure!


/Obscure?
//Yes
///20 points

Parody is green lighted? or lit ? Would it be green lit or lit in a green tint? Either way, wtf.

I second that. Never true. Never funny. Never clever. Just a waste of pixels.

What the crap. I swear that's the last time I let the enquirer access to my stash of crack. farking freaks...

Great grocery store distraction... that and the teen girls working at the checkout..

Oh, come on. You all drool over the Page 3 girls. Admit it.

Page 5. Whatever. As long as it's numbered.

Why do you post links to this site? It's not even entertaining. It's just stupid.

This article/headline isn't funny or newsworthy. Isn't one of those a requirement?

I remember when weekly world news used to be at least SOMEWHAT believable to the craziest among us. Their entire hook was that they were just crazy enough that they might be true.

Now, I'm not so sure. Even their fabulously edited photos are now CLEARLY and poorly edited.

End of an era I say

swankywanky, what in the name of high holy hell is that?

Corporal : News from the Western Front, sir.

General : Yes ... ?

Corporal : Big enemy attack at dawn, sir ...

General : Yes ... ?

Corporal : Well, the enemy were all wearing little silver halos, sir ... and ... they had fairy wands with big stars on the end ... and ...

General : They what ... ?

Corporal : .. and ... they had spiders in matchboxes, sir.

General (in disbelief) : Good God! How did our chaps react?

Corporal : Well, they were jolly interested, sir. Some of them ... I think it was the 4th Armoured Brigade, sir, they ... well, they went and had a look at the spiders, sir.

whatever it is those guys are smoking, I WANT SOME!

Yeah, but what would be Bush's happy thought?

must be somehow related to our "missle defence system".

also, and for the record, it has been ruled that it is not illegal for the media to publish untrue stories.

/see the documentary: The Corporation
//the part about Monsanto puttin rBGH in milk
///as reported by Fox reporters
////in Florida
//oh, that explains it...
//slashies say sorry

Pixie dust, eh?

Nanomachines that use Brownian motion to power turbines that produce thrust in the desired direction.

Dr. Mojo PhD: swankywanky, what in the name of high holy hell is that?

It's that peter pan madman. He has a website somewhere.. let me see.. Yup, here: The Home page of Peter Pan.

Oh and I forgot to mention: Yay internet!

"Where's that Pixie Dust Soldier?"

"Second tank to the right, and straight on 'til morning , Sir!"

I want my two minutes and wasted brain cells back after reading that. My toddler nephew might have found that funny, but I doubt it.

gulliver_redrick: also, and for the record, it has been ruled that it is not illegal for the media to publish untrue stories.


It -must- remain legal for the media to publish untrue stories, because if you say the media must publish true stories, you have to establish government controls of what exactly TRUTH is. And I don't think our (or any other) government is qualified, forget about the blatant 1st Amendment issue.

sean.flynn

qualified? hell, i'd settle for capable.

Nice referance

By Pete Tinker?

If you believe that's a real name, clap your hands.

There's a Weakly World News tag but not a MySpace tag?
It's an Onion wannabe and a waste of bandwidth.

It's also given me the creeps since they had an article by a "rape victim" who said she deserved it.

I live in Seattle, and I'm sure that I could find more than a few faries to shake down for some fairy dust....

what... stop looking at my ass like that...

Writing and 'shopping for the WWN has got to be the funnest job ever.

Can you imagine the editorial meetings? Do they rotate who brings the weed?

I sent an e-mail to the "peter pan madman", and we talked about a few things. He's really a really nice guy. You probably would only get his automated response back though, since he probably gets enough people telling him he's unacceptable...

I liked reading those... the wierd stories I'd see... like the girl with a pair of 11lb Br...

uh, nevermind...

Did anyone check with Tinkerbelle on this? Sheesh...
