Onion Who?

sure the The Onion is f'ing hilarious. everytime i read an issue, i laugh till i fall over in a puddle of my own sick but, there's another newspaper out there that in my humble opinion kicks The Onion in the jejunum....

and that newspaper is the The Weekly World News. The Onion is and claims to be a satirical newspaper with fake news. The Weekly World News on the other hand says to everyone that it's a legitimate news source. or at least they will not say that they are fake even though they are obviously full of the biggest pile of doo-doo in the media world. the reason that's so damned funny (and at this point i should expect you laughing till you fall over in a puddle of your own sick) is because for ages people have bought into the Weekly World News as being just a tabloid that reports on such breaking news as GAS MASKS PROTECT EMPLOYEES FROM DEPRESSION and the shocking discovery that MOSES WANDERED IN THE DESERT FOR FORTY YEARS: Because He Lost the Map!
. we all know that this newspaper is fake and most of us accept and understand that. but, there are those few that go to the grocery store, walk by the magazine rack and are shocked to find out that THE MAN IN THE MOON IS A PEEPING TOM!.

and so therefore, The Weekly World News is the Andy Kaufman of the media.
