New Yorkers: The Onion more important than breathing

Sound like a headline from The Onion, doesn't it? But it's true: In a poll of 100 New Yorkers published in the November 16 issue of New York, 90 people said they'd be willing to pay for The Onion if it wasn't free, but only 55 said they'd pay for "air." So, depending on overlap, 35-45 people would pay for humor, but not to breathe.
