1. I read the Weekly World News weekly
But, I think it's more of a Tabloid Satire than an actual tabloid....

2. LOL!!
That is the one I going to name. Occasionally I just get into the mood to laugh my ass off so I pick up the Weekly World News. The scary thing is that occasionally you find stories in there and then a few days later find them on the "News of the Weird."

The mark of a true tabloid is the "what some celebrity's shit smelled like today" story.

IMO, of course.
