I'm the one in the family who does the grocery shopping. I'm there a few times a week, and I'm not young. So that's a lot of grocery store trips.
If it's a long line, I will thumb through one of the tabloids - you know, the ones that report reliably that Obama is an alien secretly married to one of the Kardashians. In all those shopping trips, I have never actually seen anyone buy these stellar publications.
Have you?

(53,235 posts)have been a Batboy issue or it said sheep gives birth to human baby (we have pictures!). I bought them, because they were funny. But now WWN is long gone.
I never bought a celeb rag. I go to the supermarket a couple times a week and never see anyone buying that shit either. But it's not just the tabloids. The "regular" magazines are chock full of just as much celeb bullshit, and I always wonder, Who the hell cares about this crap?

(53,235 posts)Might have been another. They may have been in a head-exploding series.
I remember reading those stories and thinking, Damn, I wish I could write for these guys. What a fun job that would be!
on edit:
Damn, found another exploding head story!
