That's the one! Thanks for correctly identifying it. I think they must have gone out of business because I don't see them anywhere anymore.
I don't think I ever bought one,but I LOVED reading the front pages of them while standing in line at the grocery store. No matter how "down" I was going in,those headlines always had me smiling when I left. If not outright laughing.
EVERY front page always had the notation "photos inside",and there were NEVER any photos. There would be "artist renditions of what the event/person/creature/brain fart looked like.
One of the things that scared me the most back then was the faint suspicion that someone,somewhere actually believed every word.
Then the internet came along,message boards were developed,and now I am firmly convinced there were multitudes of 'muricans taking it as the Gospel truth.
@sneakypete Oh, I completely agree...there are plenty of people who will buy right into it, no matter how crazy it is.
WWN has a website, but their headlines are a little out of date. Earth was going to collide with Nibiru (?) on December 21st, so that didn't happen....and Putin didn't campaign with Trump. Well, at least overtly, so maybe I should give them that. But if Kim Kardashian's butt really did explode, I feel we would have heard about it elsewhere.
