The Alphabet: A Dramatic Reading

This clip of James Earl Jones reciting the alphabet is so disturbing that I can't believe it actually aired on the Sesame Street of my youth — not without dissuading me from my current career, anyway. All I can say today is that I wish he'd included an "and," so that I could cobble together a sample of "This... is H&FJ" for my ringtone.

Other videos I'd like to see include Christopher Lloyd reading "lorem ipsum," and Christopher Walken performing the 1940 type specimen of the Linotype company: "How, is one... to assess, and evaluate, a type face in terms. Of its esthetic. Design." —JH
