The other ''credible'' articles on the page tipped me off. And the fact that Zuckerberg doesnt look like a person that would let go such a goldmine, not to mention an ego booster...

I allready gave the scare of my life to some of my more fanatical ''friends'' mvahahaha

I am but a wind, that spreads the fire

How can this be an hoax when weeklyworldnews says they are "the world's only reliable news"? It's written there, black on white!

Weekly World News has always had the highest level of journalism integrity and triple checking their sources for every story. Had it been around at the time there is no doubt that Woodwar and Bernstein would have published their infamous Watergate article in that prestigous paper

What a joke, people don't shut down 50 billion dollar businesses, they sell them. The owner has already said it's false on his own FB page and lawyers looking to sue.

Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.

“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.

“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”
Almost sounds like something the Onion would write

Too bad this isnt true, If I could manage to publish a book: Offline and alive or how to regain your people skills in real life after the facebook shutdown, I'd make a killing

Maybe even better than The Onion (on the same page, Glen Beck moves to China).

My favorite Weekly World News story was that Adolf Hitler had escaped to Mars in a stolen B-24 - complete with photo said aircraft on Mars... Next weeks front page headline was that Hitlers B-24 had disappeared without a trace from Mars.

Love the WWN!
