Weekly World News: RIP July 2007

This hurts the Reaper in a few ways.

First of all, it isn't every publication that features the Reaper itself as a character visiting in many different forms.

Second, forget about most of the garbage sold to you on newsstands. This was always one of the most genuinely entertaining magazines the Reaper read, more than Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair and many others.

Third, we're seeing the shoe drop on the tabloid world. The cultural paradigm is shifting and people can read about exaggerated and questionable things on most blogs. This is why David Pecker is in the hot seat, and the National Enquirer and The Star are losing circulation faster than Paris Hilton goes through dogs.

So down the River Styx goes the Bat Boy, where I have a nice dark cave he can hang and watch "The Maury Povich Show" and "Judge Judy."
