Nooooooooooooooooooo!
I blame August ...
Weekly World News faces own apocalypse
August 1, 2007 — Supermarket checkout lines are going to seem a whole lot longer.
Weekly World News is giving up the ghost.
No more space aliens in the White House. No more Bigfoot, Elvis or Bat Boy sightings.
Owner American Media Inc. has
announced that the tabloid's Aug. 27 issue will be the last. Its brief
statement blamed "challenges in the retail and wholesale magazine
marketplace that have impacted the newsstand."
The company said it will continue an online version, weeklyworldnews.com, but its future is uncertain.
Things certainly will not be the same for readers who found strange creatures, incredible events and amazing prophecies of plague, depression, invasion and apocalypse in the "hot sheet" that was hailed for the "best damn investigative reporting on the planet" by the alien-hunting "Men in Black."
