Can You Guess Which of These Crimson Op-Ed Headlines Are Real?

Throughout The Crimson’s illustrious history, the oldest continuously published daily college newspaper has printed multiple important opinion pieces. Headlines range from “Five O’Clock Somewhere,” to “Respecting the Basic Humanity of Asian Tourists,” reflecting the serious nature of the op-eds.

However, there have also been a few, shall we say, less sensitive choices—for example, take last week’s op-ed, questionably titled "Internship or Internment." Although Flyby is always extremely sensitive when choosing headlines (or are we?!?), we proudly present the op-ed guessing game: Can you tell which ones are real headlines published in the past year, and which aren’t?
