There is an analogy to road travel and splash pages -- the old
Burma Shave ads (my age is showing now). Signs used to appear
along the highway (six to a set) each containing one sentence or
phrase of a longer slogan. As you drove along the kids would
read the signs out loud. They stopped them in the 1950's.
For nostalgia buffs somebody did post to a Web site (slogans
only, not the signs) http://www.idea.com/~dgookin/burma.htm
