Say it ain’t so.

If you are into the strange and weird stuff which (allegedly) goes on in our wonderful world (and beyond) - you know and undoubtedly love the Weekly World News…that staple of supermarket magazine racks with the most over the top headlines you could possible dream up.

Now comes the rather disturbing news that the Weekly World News is closing up shop.

Bob Greenberger, an editor with Weekly World News, reports on his blog that he and the rest of the staff were called into a meeting about noon on Friday where they were “told the Board of Directors has chosen to close Weekly World News. The reasons given make no sense. We’re stunned and shell-shocked. We’re to stay on through August 3, finishing the reprint issues and then we’re done. A glorious, funny, odd publication, born in 1979, will go out with a whimper and all I can think is that something’s going on that they’re not telling us because it just doesn’t make sense.”

Geez, what is this world coming to? Could this be some sort of funky conspiracy??

Here’s the editor’s blog.
