This may scare some of you (Freethinker comes to mind), but don't worry. You have not lost you favorite source for all those insightful threads you so love. This only applies to the hard copy of the publication. You still have the on line version to provide the bulk of your material.

Oh no...
no more laughs in the checkout line at Kroger's while we read about Bat Boy, WWII bombers on Mars, exploding toilets, Elvis sightings, and my ex in-laws.

I have never read a single word of that publication, nor visited their website.

Could of fooled me. This sound just like one of their headlines:
"Rightwing America; Vampires Living on the Blood of Others"
Again, don't worry, you were just the first to come to mind when I saw the story.

The title of that particular thread that I posted made use of an a_n_a_l_o_g_y.

Neither it nor any of the other 3000+ posts I have made here originated with Weekly World News.
Having now looked over their website, that publication seems to me to be the type that would hold great appeal for certain pro wrestling fans, Nascar fans, country music fans, rodeo fans and fundamentalist religionsts that I have known.
