"Noah's Ark found in Pennsylvania!"
 

"NOAH'S ARK FOUND IN PENNSYLVANIA!"

Okay... I grabbed the subject line from a classic issue of the "Weekly World News"...

(It made me laugh out loud!)

I recently came across an old post... and it inspired me!

It's about how the Weekly World News - back when it was a printed tabloid - would have some of the most insane headlines on the cover, designed to make it near-impossible for you to not grab a copy to find out what it's talking about!

Why are these important? Because if you want to sell something, you first have to get people's ATTENTION... and their headlines are designed to do that!

That post (which I wrote) gave a link to an archive of Weekly World News issues... Which I feel is valuable!

Yes... the Weekly World News is valuable! (Something you'll never hear in polite society!)

In fact, it inspired me to go through a whole bunch of issues... and I picked out some particularly juicy (in my opinion) headlines...

Here are some headlines from previous covers of the Weekly World News... for your enjoyment (and education)!

Could he make 10x his income?
 

Hi Glenn,

I don't know where your friend lives...

But I have a feeling that if he lived in the Hollywood area, he'd make 10x his income!!!
