Next we'll hear about Bat Boy and the Space Alien being held hostage by Russian troops.
C'mon man!
Bat Boy was cool. Anyway, the Russians do have him, and at least one of the Space Aliens. The Sun never was like the WWW though, it was more into crime, sport and celebrity gossip, and, above all, page 3.
The WWW never could compete with page 3, no matter how many aliens it had.

A Sun writer was on David Letterman several times back in the ‘80s.
DL: It’s all a goof, right?
Sun: Oh no! They are all true stories.
