Elvis has left the planet

Last month I wrote about the Weekly World News [1] and how I was sad to see it have a disclaimer about the fictious nature of its articles [2]. And today, another thought hit me—one thing you no longer see in taboids are Elvis sightings (this being his 71^st birthday and all). Has the tabloid world finally realized that Elvis “The King” Presley has not only left the building, but actually left this plane of existence? That scores of fans and New Age cranks come to grips that Elvis will no longer haunt midwest grocery stores and fried chicken fast food restaurants?

Say it ain't so!
