Scoping the scandal rags in the check out line. WWN features Bat Boy wearing an American flag bandana on his head. Didn’t get the issue but the cover blurb says he is joining the marines to combat evil. …sorry, getting a little choked up here, <snif>, God bless America.
Funny but I think the running joke of Bat Boy would be less funny if his expression ever changed. How the hell did he take the oath to become a marine? His jaw is permantly stuck open.
I also saw a non-sequitir or a magazine, AMERICA at WAR! Okay, whatever. Says “tens of thousands dead” Apparently they don’t have any dopers as fact checkers. The thing that got me is that is said “special issue.” As opposed to what? The regular monthly issue of AMERICA at WAR!??
I’ve read the Weekly World News on and off since I was a wee little kit. They’ve been doing feaux(sp?) journalism for a long time before The Onion, I think.
Well, it’s nice to know that he’s putting his unique talents to use, at least. Being willing to risk his life for his country separates this Bat Man from the Bat Boys. I’d hate to think he went back to hiding in a cave in a time of crisis.
I saw that “double issue” (Twice the junk for twice the price!) of the Weekly World News today while I was at my local supermarket. I would have picked it up if it weren’t $2.75. It’s a classic, I’m sure.
I’m very sorry I never bought the “12 US Senators are Space Aliens” T-shirt while the Weekly World News still offered them. Ah, the agony of lost opportunities! But I’m sure I’ll make it, despite this critical lack of kitsch. Like all those who reported seeing Elvis in the afterlife, I, too, am a survivor.

It is really playing, I’ve gone past the theater. In fact, I just read in the paper that it’s run was being extended after 9/11 because the theater is in financial difficulties (what with the local lack of tourists and all). If anyone else wants to go see it, I would join them…
If you meant “for real” as in serious, I presume no.
