Doubletake headline

Seen on the newsstand on the cover of the ever reliable Weekly World News:


GAY ALIENS FOUND IN UFO CRASH


I didn't read the article to find out if they were travelling from their home planet in order to attempt to get married in Massachusetts

Ah, they were certainly aliens and certainly gay according to somebody.

WWN has a grand old time using phoney images, flashy headlines, etc., as well as that ancient rhetorical fallacy, Argument From Authority™.

I've always wondered whether that checkout-stand rag isn't a mecca for science fiction and fantasy authors in training. Sort of a "Clarion South" (they're based in Florida, IIRC). ;-)

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Forget authors, it's game master heaven! I could run a GURPS Illuminati game for years of the WWN!
