Words speak louder than words

Happy Fried-day,

Today's edition has a lot packed in to it, not unlike kinematic typography, which I'm told is when you combine typography with motion. Hook it up with some classic scenes from movies and TV and you've got something. Open your mind, one word at a time.

O-SPAN: Delicious Snacks Distract Congressmen From Horrors Of War
"In keeping with the traditional procedure, the US Congress passed around a bag of chips at a recent hearing about the progress of the current war. Snack foods have long been used as a distraction from otherwise nasty subjects. During WWI it was popcorn. During Vietnam it was Doritos and Tang. You'd get hungry thinking all day about this stuff, too."
