-Caveat Lector- Yeah, they're getting better at it, too. For most of its life the Weekly World News was just outrageous and funny for being so silly and over-the-top. Now they are getting much more subtle, and it's interesting to see it evolve. I love this as it's so subversive. There are people who buy this thinking it's not satirical - it's sold alongside the other tabloids like The Enquirer and The Star. This is brilliant. I wish I had a job writing for them. It would be a blast.
