"makes the type taste good" proof that most of these are made by artsy people.

Most of these typographies i`ve seen on spiked humor I think are popular because they`re just reselling a sold product, I voted 5/5 on the twelve monkeys kinetic typography not because I care or give a damn about typography but because fight club kicked ass and I liked lots of its messages.

I bet it activates two seperate parts of your brain. one for reading and one for speech recognition. i know it feels different than just one or the other. your brain feels more active. its weird.
