A restructure of the story telling might yield a better response though. Perhaps...

You'll see the tabloid news name their fear/sensational story component in hard at the start and burried the useful content a long way down...where dry few people will read it.

Metamucil, otherwise known as poo juice, in this house.

Always a must after a big meal of meat and carbs..., at my age.
