Who will Michael send to pamper their guests now that Fredo is dead?
 
2003-10-13 10:35:26 AM
I really doubt this is true.

If it's on the internet it's true.

"nice planet, shame if something happened to it...."

He sleeps with the martians.

Oddly enough, Books In Print doesn't list an Albert Goodwell, the author quoted in the article...

I was standing in line at the store the other day and saw WWN on the rack. "500 Pound Supermodel!" w/pic. World famous, too, I'm sure.

Man WWN doesnt have taste in women. Click on the Girls page 5 link: http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/page5/index.cfm

There is only 1 good looking girl in the first 6.
 
2003-10-13 02:37:15 PM
Ah, good old WWN.
Life would be so boring without you.

Hey, someone accidentally put the "satire" tag... should be "news flash".
 
2003-10-13 02:39:36 PM
So THAT'S where they hid Jimmy Hoffa!

Was it batboy?

I don't think you can call a newspaper "Satire" when they themselves vehemently claim it is true.
 
2003-10-13 02:47:12 PM
You got a problem wit dat?

Weekly World News: The Fox News Of Tabloids.

One of the recent stories I've read in the paper is that aliens are selling hightech gizmos to al Qeada in the intrests of keeping America from becoming too strong. The story went on to say that the aliens did the same thing in WW2 by given the Allies the atomic bomb for the same reasons. The paper said that was a good thing and praised the aliens for their descision. Now that someone else is getting the technology for the same reasons, WWN calls the aliens idiots, moraless, thugs, and terrorists. The assinine thing is that even though the whole thing is bullsh*t, WWN still manages to put a rigth-leaning slant on the story.
 
2003-10-13 02:53:30 PM
Oh fark! there goes the neighbourhood
 
2003-10-13 03:04:50 PM
Finally! A WWN article labeled propertly as satire.
 
2003-10-13 03:05:07 PM
Well, it's about time the Mafia enetered the era of manned space travel. Hell, China's doing it, So why should the mafia

Ehhh, fugeddaboutit!

Nor is there any mention of "leading crime writer" Goodwell on Google.

There is however, a listing for Albert Goodwell Spaulding, co-founder of the National League in baseball, and described as " a man of insatiable ego, a showman and entrepreneur, whose life illuminated the hopes and fears of 19th-century Americans."

My goodness, that had me laughing out loud. Even better was the other story on the fattest baby.

Great site.

Wow...no postings of the Face at Cydonia yet. I guess that's what happens when you check out threads on a holiday?
 
2003-10-13 04:58:34 PM
23NoonBlue: Why is that odd? The article is total bullshiat.
 
2003-10-13 05:01:47 PM
WWN right-slanted? No way...

Seriously, though... you have to wonder if Bill O'Reilly got his schtick from Ed Anger.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he eats for the rest of his life.
Send a man to sleep wid da fish, he ain't your problem no more.

So, Will the Zhti Ti Kofft make a deal with the mob, or blast them just like they do to NASA probes?

News flash: Weekly World News is not satire.
There is a huge difference between "satire" and "bullshiat".

I'll believe that when one of the Martians speaks like Al Pachino from Scarface:

"Earthlying you have made me very angry." *imagine Marvin the Martin walking in that funny gate* "Very Angry! I want you to say hello to my little friend." *pulls out a tommy gun *
 
2003-10-13 09:13:29 PM
I've always wanted to write for the WWN, they sound like they have good drugs.
 
2003-10-13 11:56:16 PM
I love Marvin the Martin! I hope all aliens are like him.
