can't say that I do. though it sounds vaguely familiar. but I can't place it.

I see they are no longer published.

Any one remember these or enjoy them though? Or am I the only lunatic who would buy these?

i vaguely remember the name, but i can't say i've ever read one.

national lampoon i remember well :)

I learned men can lactate from one of those mags.. I grew up in a salon.. loved those. Its all true.

Yeah, it's called the "National Enquirer" now. (jk)

My mother used to read "The Weekly World News" and took every word as the gospel. Aliens, killer bee's, pictures of heaven - entertainment at it's best.

oh gosh she believed it?

Well they did run a few true articles in it to make it slightly more believable. But still? Mermaid sushi does that sound real to you?

No, Mermaid sushi doesn't sound real. But what about "Bigfoot keeps lumberjack for love slave"? Now THAT is believable.

Just wait a little bit longer. w nassa having landed equip on mars, I surmise that rag mags will start reporting ufo's alliens & this will kick in paranormal reposts/show's & boost income of rag mags.

Opp's I just now recalled that there is a tv program, on mid east coast line in US,that people talk about paranormal. they walk though people homes & dramitize.

When I'm in grocery store,while standig in line, I will look at ft covers of national Inquirer. I laught. Unforantly some people believe that money making crap.

Ok I see your point big foot is real we all know that one. Some of us might be married to one.

Any how what is this national inquirer every one is talking about? Is that celebrity gossip column? I know I've seen one but off hand I'm having trouble placing what it reports on. It's obviously something that never grabbed my full attention.

So was the weekly world news

but yeah lately I haven't paid much attention to magazines or papers since I use the u-scan check out at wise. They don't have those things there.

The National Enquirer is celebrity gossip. I can get too much information from it just standing in line at the grocery. Proving that enquiring minds do not necessarily want to know.

A couple of cousin mags:

The Globe, "James Garner, 83, is a pot head."

The Sun, "Secret Bible Warnings: Armageddon begins in Iran."

Sigh!! They just don't make things like they used to. When is the last time you saw a "True Confessions" magazine?? That is where I got my sex education.

I thought it might be a celeb gossip column. That would be why it doesn't interest me. They could literally print anything they want throw a photo shop pic in there and no one would no the difference. It's not like many people are close enough to celebrities to know their personal lives from a can of paint.
not only that but I just plain don't care about celebrities in general.

I thought it might have some actual news in there though, like some political stuff, but I guess not.

I remember it but havent seen it in a long time.

wow. fascinating richard.

sex and celeb gossip, and the pioneer of the sport. i have to now google half-a-dozen things to fully catch-up, but it's nice to recollect a time when art had a place amongst racy imagery.

Is fascinating!!

I never knew 'ole blue eyes' had to have a corn flake break to keep his stamina - up.
