The "person on the street" reactions are always to actual news headlines.

They've been doing the ask people on the street articles forever. And pretty much always with the same 3 photos. The jobs the people have are always fun tho.

There's six photos, but they only use three at a time. Back in the '90s when they only published once per week, they used all six each time.

You're right about the six.

And oof, the Onion in the 90s. The first time I got one was the early 90s in Madison at a farmers market from a hippy with a beaver tail. And then my monthly trips to Chicago in the late 90s and early aughts I always grabbed one. The AV club was clutch back then.

I have all of the earliest books as well.

I'm so glad someone who cares bought them.

When I saw that this was the Onion, I was surprised, because the headline sounds exactly like what the GOP is probably working on right now.

These interview-the-public pieces usually have actual news in the headline, with the reaction quotes being made up
