quote:plans to marry a large blond woman and enroll in a local technical college I'm not from the Midwest, but is it a stereotype that young women from Kansas are big (not necessarily fat, just Valkyerie-like), blonde as well as drunken and loud? Or am I just projecting a handful of personal experiences?

I don't think Kansas is prominent enough to be stereotyped very much. I'm from New York, and I've never heard anything about Kansas.

Here in Georgia the most prominent stereotype of Kansas/Nebraska/Iowa is that they're nothing but a bunch of corn shuckers with Good Ol' Fashioned American Values. Lots of people here have a preconception that Kansans tend to be more patriotic than normal.

The early Onion was a U-Wisconsin snarky college guys publication, so perhaps they had a better grasps of regional characterizations.

I think the stereotype is necessarily fat, rather than Valkyrie-like (also this applies to basically everything between the Appalachians and the Rockies, outside of the Great Lakes cities.)

The headline/picture combos have always been the best. There will always be a place in my heart for the one they did when the Arab revolutions were getting into swing, which featured a polite mustachioed gentleman in a headdress sat on a golden throne and the headline "Saudi Arabian Royal Family say: "Just loving Try It".

I remember hearing that The Onion once ran a real, unedited, not-satirical newspaper article as their headline story once, because the true story was more insane then anything they could have made up. Did this actually happen and does anyone remember what story it was?

They link to the article in The Onion, so they decided to roll with the gag. I just wish that they have put more effort into it.

This is pretty fantastic, though the main content is rather humorless. As always, look towards the headlines for the real humor.
