Default What newspaper is equivalent to Sunday Sport in USA?

Hi All,

I'm looking to find the names of some "joke" newspapers or magazines in the USA. Something similar to the Sunday Sport we have here.

I think it might be the National Enquirer, but I'm not sure. I think I remember that being referenced to in the film Men in Black.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

It may not be an exact equivalent, but there must be some that are known to fabricate stories?

Don't know the names as I never read them, but you'll find them at the checkout in the local grocery store, usually with headlines like "Justin Beiber ate my head" or other such garbage.

Weird.

Despite the First Amendment, there do seem to be plenty of content nazis around...

So newspapers are devoid of baps, balance, news, balance and balance.
But at 6pm most nights I get ads on TV for Viagra, vibrators, KY Jelley etc.

'go figure'

Weekly World News has fabricated stories but it's all trash.

The Onion has fabricated articles but they're usually trying to make a social commentary:
