I was at the local convenience mart just a while ago when I spied a tabloid cover talking about "Interview with the Ramsey lawyer" or some shit like that. This story is OVER 8 YEARS OLD. HOW DOES THIS CONSTITUTE SELLABLE TABLOID MATERIAL? Another case I've grown oh so tired of is the Scott Peterson case. In fact I was sick of it when it was fresh. That's going on 3 years soon. Why can't they just find something else to write about? There's plenty going on.

Few years ago I was bored and reading tabloids, in the national enquirer they were counting the weeks since JBR got murdered. I wonder if they're still doing that.

This all reminds me of how anything Lindy Chamberlain around here is also tabloid material.

They also apparently found out that a dingo *did* take her baby...

You never heard any phrases that involved dingoes and babies? I've heard plenty myself.. Seinfeld comes to mind.
Anyway, it originated from that woman. A dingo took and killed her baby.

Lindy Chamberlain was the mother of a child whose woman was taken by a Dingo 20 years ago.

It's never really been sorted out whether it was true or not what she claimed, but I think they're leaning towards believing that a dingo really did take her baby now.

Google Lindy Chamberlain

Probably some Australian wench. I'm guessing that's what they based that Seinfeld episode on... I seem to remember something about that but it's hazy.

edit: ^ Damn. Oh well.

Legion: I might just read it and give a synopsis. The only tabloid I'd spend money on is the Weekly World News. It's the shizzzzznit. <--- yet another anacrhonism, yay.

I'm guessing whoever killed Jon Benet was a time traveler rogue bandit.

Come to think of it, all the enduring tabloid-esque mystery stories around here involve children.

The Lindy Chamberlain thing, and the Beaumont Children (local Adelaide thing, children that went missing) seem to endure as these great mysteries that are dug up for entertainment value over and over and over again.

It didn't help that a local businessman had hired a psychic to go around trying to find the Beaumont Children... and we got lovely stupid news footage of this tie-dyed woman prancing around an old shed saying "they're here!!"

Well. Were they actually there, or is she crazy?

Actually nevermind I don't need that answered.

Also I've yet to follow a single link that supports the "Lindy killed her daughter" thing...

They weren't there, nobody knows where they are, still.

As for the Lindy killing her daughter thing, she was jailed for the murder of her daughter.... but I think people have now decided that maybe a Dingo did do it.

Reminds me about Olof Palme, the murder was over twenty years now but there is still an invigastation. Now and then it just randomly starts to pop up again in the tabloids. "new clues" or something like that.

Thought, he was the prime minister when he got killed thought...

I could maybe understand someone, probably very uneducated, buying a tabloid to read about Lindy Chamberlain or the Ramsey case. It

I think it's been shown that people don't have a problem with reading fiction.
I've flipped through some of those magazines while waiting at a checkout counter before. Sometimes it can be entertaining. I dunno.
