Apropos of this discussion, tonight NPR broadcast an episode of This
American Life in which Ira Glass sits in on the writers of The Onion
as they try to decide on the headlines for the week.
It's amazing the process they go through and what ends up making it
onto the website. They go through about 600 jokes to get 16 for a week.

There's a real need for it, in this case, but immune-compromised

etc. are using telepresence robots to go to school and do other
stuff. They are ambulatory and are mounted with audio and cameras,
possibly screens to show who's operating the things.
So the Onion-styled headline would be something like "Student
Confined to Surrogate Body Finds First Sexual Experience Exactly
Like Amateur Porn."
