we picked up a copy of Weekly World News while in WV, and discovered a cranky little treasure. it is absolutely thorough in its scurrilous satire. reminds me of The Onion, except that The Onion has a higher tone. I love how well The Onion holds its tone, a hard thing with satire. WWN has to look slightly believeable, and does so, even with such oddities as presented. it's a highly recommended cackle. the latest issue I've seen headlines with DICK CHENEY IS A ROBOT, complete with a picture of the Dick showing off his transitors. another issue had the story of a blonde pleading for a brain transplant.
