You know that movie Super Size Me, where that guy Morgan Spurlock ate McDonald’s every meal for 30 days? People actually paid money to see that. Well, if that’s a movie, I’ve got a movie!

Two celebrities gave two rather different speeches in Philly at the end of last week. One was former President Bill Clinton speaking on behalf of the National Youth Leadership Council at the National Constitution Center, and the other was filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (whom you may remember from his documentary Super Size Me, in which he ate at McDonalds every day for a month) at Hatboro-Horsham High School in suburban Philadelphia.
