Move over election coverage and polygamy wives

I avoid the news at all cost because it usually leads to a dark lonely road of depression. However when a story like this breaks, I have have to open my eyes and take notice. This Bat Boy has to be stopped, because when Mini Coopers aren't safe anymore, well the Bat Boy has won....and terrorists.

Here is a little back story on Bat Boy from another credible source Wikipedia:
Bat Boy has made several appearances in the defunct supermarket tabloid Weekly World News. The Weekly World News published patently fabricated stories which were purported to be factual. Within the pages of the paper, Bat Boy is described as a creature who is 'half human and half bat'. His pursuers, according to Weekly World News are scientists and United States government officials; he is frequently captured, then later makes a daring escape.
Bat Boy grew up in Orange, CA studying music at Chapman University. His former name was Coat Hanger Hoe Down A Brown. Batboy debuted as a cover story on June 23, 1992.[1] The original front-page photo of Bat Boy, showing a creature with a grotesque screaming face, was the second-best selling issue in the tabloid's history, and he has since evolved into a pop-culture icon. The story of Bat Boy was turned into an acclaimed off-Broadway musical, Bat Boy: The Musical.

Wow I didn't really believe the whole high speed chase thing, but since it says "actual photos" it must be true!
