Writer's Block: Hocus pocus

"Alien psychic boondoggle cripples human scum!" Even as a youngster, I'd get my eyes out of joint rolling them so hard because my dad loved to read the National Enquirer. He was a pretty smart guy, and I can't figure out for the life of me why he went in for that tripe.

Let's go back even farther than that - remember the old "Charles Atlas" ads that appeared in the comics?



Naw, I never gambled that stamp, either...

I've bought the Weekly World News only for its amusement value. The names they use are nearly as comical as the stories themselves. I consider the Enquirer to be no more than a nationally-published gossip-over-the-back-fence sort of thing.

And I remember the Charles Atlas adverts; I can't see that as being any better or worse than the modern-day Weider nonsense.
