This is great news — after ceasing print publication in 2007, the Weekly World News has made its entire archives available on Google Books. (Check out the above — you can even embed entire issues!)
I loved the Weekly World News when I was a kid. Despite her eyerolls, I’d force my mom to buy it for me at the grocery store and devour it as soon as we got home. I was at a weird age — old enough to get the jokes, but young enough to sustain the belief that maybe, just maybe, some of it might be true. It was only years later, when I saw the headline “Osama and Saddam’s Gay Wedding!” that I realized what hilarious and subversive publication I had been reading all those years. As far as straight-faced satires of news publications go, the Onion has nothing on the Weekly World News — it parodied the tabloids of its era so successfully that it was sold on the rack next to them. The fact that it wasn’t trying to attack or criticize the format, but simply capitalize on its silliest elements, just made it more fun to read. Long live and R.I.P.
So classic. I used to always buy one of these when I was working at a supermarket in high school. Was such a trashy treat - so full of fun and goofy stories. Felt like I was splurging to drop the $2 on it or whatever.
