...Later, over a drunken poker game, Rush and his redneck pal Flake (Patrick Carroll) think it'd be fun to return to a house they had searched and pay a little more attention to the pretty Iraqi girl who lives there. They do that, dragging along some of their reluctant buddies, and in a long scene that shocks and sickens, commit their crimes of passion and vengeance...
...Printed on tatty black-and-white stock, WWN was the journalistic guilty pleasure of the '80s and' 90s. And now it has nonetheless received an affectionate media sendoff. One writer called it "the newspaper of record for astrology and giant tumor-related news"; another, "easily the world's best drunken supermarket impulse buy."
