could NOT resist. when one sees a bat boy story, one MUST post it. after all it IS an unwritten rule
By Mark Fitzgerald
CHICAGO A New York investors group calling itself Bat Boy LLC has bought the one-time supermarket tabloid Weekly World News from American Media Operations Inc., it was announced over the weekend. Weekly World News, which on its online version refers to itself as "The World's Only Reliable News," has for nearly three decades spun out tales of alien invasions, fantastic archeological discoveries, and, most memorably, of Bat Boy, a half-human, half-bat creature found in a cave back in 1992. The new CEO of Weekly World News, Neil McGiness, referred indirectly to Bat Boy, which inspired a Broadway play, in the statement announcing the sale. "The Weekly World News is a powerful brand in publishing, entertainment and online," he said. "The Weekly World News brand and its characters have inspired musicals, books, feature film projects and television shows over the years. We see tremendous potential for growing the brand and significantly expanding the business."...........
