As far as I know, there is no journal that publishes only negative results. I think the reason is that most scientists encounter the negatives, but then pursue other approaches which sometimes prove more promising. The negatives are reported in the body of a paper describing some small (or large) advance. Jane Thompson U.

This journal is not a joke, though it is fun to read. But, it is very different from what the original post-er was looking for.
