Technically, this is not a tabloid, is it?
(USA definition of a tabloid may differ... we use that word to describe newspapers like The National Enquirer) |

Dude, they cited The Weekly World News, the same paper that gave us Bat Boy and Bill Clinton is an Alien.
I had zero respect for The Korea Times, now I think its moved into pity/bizarro comedyland.
Both are tabloids, the difference is that I actually respect The Weekly World News.
Seriously, they cited The Weekly World News???

| Didn't you know Lee Myung Bak is really an alien? And Kim Young Sam was a cross-dresser. |

Aw come on, you don't trust the Weekly World News? They even have the slogan "The World's Only Reliable News." It must be true! |

Maybe a Korea inspired Jim Anchower or Smoove-B column. Have you ever seen that "I give props to Korea because it exists being between China and Japan" guy? Reminds me of Larry Groznic.
I heard Bat Boy is digging a cave in the DMZ. |

| The decline over the past year has been remarkable. Jon Huer and Kang Shin-who to letters to the editor from Vanilla Ice and an 8-year-old girl to printing anything and everything they find on "news of the weird" pages. |
