Bat Boy Steals MINI Cooper !!! Detroit MINI2ers Beware - MINI2

kshapiro · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 4th, 2003, 01:01 AM

Just got the January 14 issue of Weekly World News. Seems Bat Boy, "half bat , half boy" has stolen a red / white MINI Cooper from a Detroit dealership as it was being delivered. Bat Boy had learned to drive while working with the US military combating terrorism in Afghanistan. After he returned stateside he escaped government custody and became a fugitive. The owner said, "I hope Bat Boy learns his lesson and turns himself in...I just want my MINI Cooper back."

Anybody seen Bat Boy?

Barky at MCO posted this scan of the latest cover of the Weekly World News. Phenomenal! I had to run right out and buy one (first time ever).

Not surprisingly, WWN has kept up with the times, and has a website. But no mention of Bat Boy stealing a Cooper.

But they do mention that Bat Boy supported Al Gore in the last election.

See Bat Boy's not so off base...after all Gore got almost 1,000,000 more votes!

In a total coincidence, that's the same figure as the Weekly World News' annual circulation.

Vote for Gore! Just like the other supermarket tabloid readers!

I've heard that Al Sharpton is considering a run for president. That ought to be amusing.

I think I passed him yesterday in a beige subaru forester-he must have caught on to all the publicity and ditched the MINI.

I paid 3 bucks, it's worth the knowledge, we need to take the measures needed against any would be, anti-terrorist BatBoys.

I didn't steal it!
It was just a test drive!

OK, I admit that i am not the most attractive person in the world, and i'm sorry i'm not better looking, but why is everyone making such a big deal about this? It's not my fault it was shift change when i drove past the police station!
