There’s not just a couple of things amiss with the latest edition of The Wall Street Journal; there’s a throuple. What’s a throuple? We think you can figure that out. Former WSJ readers say the challenges of being in a household where the bathroom towels read ‘his, his, and his’ is not something they can relate to or want to read about.
Have a look. (READ)
After buying a “plain vanilla” box, a Chicago trio brought in an interior designer who blended their aesthetics and added elements like a moody den for socializing and a three-person bed.

Wow… the venerable Wall Street Journal… just wow.

This is not your dad’s WSJ, but the paper’s editor wants it to be someone’s tri-dads’ WSJ in the future.
Commenters say they don’t understand how three guys who all dress the same can’t agree on a vanilla box.
Different design tastes? They are all exactly the same person

Their clothes say that they dont have different design ideas.

The two on the ends look like brothers.

Silly, that's the next issue.
Older folks will remember Barbara Mandrell’s ‘Sleeping Single in a Double Bed.’ These guys had to contend with sleeping triple in a double bed. Interior designer to the rescue!

So, one top and two bottoms.
Posters are wondering about future follow-up stories for the WSJ.

The Indian guy really spices things up

He knows how to curry favor.
After seeing the post, commenters were looking for help from the heavens.

We welcome the sweet meteor of death.
Posters see that contentious vanilla box breaking up the trio. Is a divorce… er, trivorce around the corner?
I can't wait for the follow up article when, after infinite drama, each has lawyered up and the "plain vanilla box" is the subject of endless legal battles since the deed was unclear as to the true owner.

I’m old enough to remember when The Wall Street Journal was a respected financial publication.

When was that? I’m pretty old and can’t remember.

Tbf, this sounds like an expensive renovation.

This is relatable for other three-income homes. So, not very relatable at all.
Posters say this triple feature spells the end of serious journalism at the WSJ.
I remember when the WSJ moved markets.
We used to refresh it for trades, not takes on throuples arguing over throw pillows.
Three “tastes” coexist until someone steals the covers or the remote. Groundbreaking stuff.
The real story isn’t the moody den, it’s a serious paper-chasing lifestyle clicks.
No wonder subscribers are leaving faster than commitment in that household.
Back to finance, please.
This isn’t journalism evolving, it’s journalism surrendering.
