Note to clients:
When you demand that every word, phrase and sentence be emphasized by making it bold or by mixing it hotter, nothing turns out to be emphasized except the portions you didn't emphasize.

George, Stan Freberg once did a parody of exactly that siuation. A radio commercial for 'Bloopers Soap' where (one take at a time) every word is emphasised. Eventually we hear what they can't, that when everything is emphasised, nothing is emphasised.
