A Proud Endorsement of the Weekly World News
One of my favorite periodicals is the Weekly World News. WWN makes the National Enquirer look like the Wall Street Journal. They get the stories that the New York Times somehow misses.
This article is typical of the high journalistic standards I've come to know and trust. It seems that a Brandy Sue Schimmel is suing her parents because she's so...repulsive-looking. Her theory is that since her parents are themselves "ugly as sin", they had a legal duty to not procreate.
Brandy doesn't intend to stop there. "After I win this case, I'll sue my parents again -- this time because I'm stupid." They must be very proud of her social activism.
Please do me a favor and fight the urge to question this story's veracity. With apologies to Plato, sometimes the unquestioned life has its pleasures.
