Crawler, scroll or chyron, they are one with poison oak and ticks.

They are the proof of recent studies that multi-tasking is bunk.
You cannot read the crawler and listen to the concomitant dialogue and understand both and are likely to comprehend neither.

I have no idea why they are used, but there is a good reason you don't see them during commercials.
