The comedian Steve Allen used to do man on the street interviews. One of the best ones I remember was of him telling people that a local politician running for office was an admitted heterosexual and then he would ask what they thought about that. Most of the response were along the lines of "well, I don't think that's something that normal people should have to put up with and we certainly don't want our mayor to be a heterosexual!!!"
