Quite possibly my favorite Onion video. If a "live poll" was actually implemented, I can only imagine it wouldn't be too far from this: "Hard working Americans!", "Our poor, poor children.", and, of course, the "Post Office Box!" "I have several Post Office Boxes." - lol

13 years later, and it's become a thing. The news is now, literally, Reality TV. Even Jon Stewart came back from the figurative dead to tackle this very subject in his latest video, and here we are, after a pandemic and possibly at the start of WW3, and the situation is as dire as ever.

NOTHING is ahead of its time. Everything is from its time. What happens is that when kids grow up, become adults, they think that the time when they were growing up were "different" and "good". Watching stuff which is against this belief makes them think "oh, this is ahead of its times". In reality, nothing is ahead of its times. EXACTLY the same things and thought process was going on when the pyramids of Giza were being built. When the code of Hammurabi was being written. Nothing is ahead of its times, the only thing is that it is a realization that "grown up life" in those times was similar to "grown up life" today. And by "kids" and "grown ups", I am referring to mental age, not physical age.
