Just a note for those searching for old news articles. If you head to
http://books.google.ca/books?id=D_EDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT32&dq=spank&hl=en&sa=X&ei=QfHDUKG4I Ket0AHik4GgDw&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAAyou will find a host of searchable fake news stories and some of them deal with spanking.
The thing about that publication was that it was far more extreme than the other tabloids. Virtually all the articles were written in house and presented as real news stories. Mixed in with the Elvis sightings and news of Bat Boy's capture (he was a mutant boy raised by bats) was usually a spanking reference. Some were in the advise column (who was pro spanking), some were in Ed Anger's column, and others were just stories that made the news that week.
The funny thing is that if you search their archive you will see how they recycled stories. For example, there's the kid who's physiologist said could use a good spanking and after the spanking was delivered the kid shot the doctor! The kid was 8 in one telling, 11 in another, his nationality shifts as often as his age, but it's virtually the same story word for word.
