From the December 2007 MAGBAG:

MORE NEW ISSUES OF THE WEEKLY WORLD NEWS?

— Special to the MAGBAG

More unconfirmed reports of new issues of the defunct Weekly World News have proliferated in recent weeks. A housewife claims she saw a Nov. 16 issue on sale at a Wawa in Egg Harbor, NJ and an Elvis impersonator swears he saw a Nov. 2 issue at a Terrible's in Henderson, Nevada.

The Egg Harbor copy was said to have contained the stories, 'SANTA'S ELVES REALLY SLAVES FROM THE PLANET MARS!', 'UFO ALIEN NO LONGER VISITS BUSH... nor admits to ever having done so' and , 'PACK OF WILD COCKER SPANIELS TERRORIZES WYOMING!', while the Elvis impersonator could only remember one headline from the edition he saw: 'Elvis is
Alive and Pretending to be an Elvis Impersonator in Henderson, Nevada!'

Subsequent trips to both stores found empty racks where the new issues had been said to be.
