I was watching King Corn (S6E13) today, and there is a part at the end where Will Bailey is getting an ice cream bar from a vending machine. The bar is dispensed using a vacuum hose. Will seems to have an epiphany when the bar is released from the vacuum.

What does that mean? I have been racking my brain, but have no idea. Anyone?

I just saw that episode earlier today, and what I could get out of it is that he had some "sick" thoughts. blush.gif ... I was trying to come up with sometrhing as well when I saw his expression other than what I did, but no luck. Other than that, I have no idea.

As Will got the ice cream the song "Desire" started and if you watch and listen to the song you see Santos looking at his wife, Vinick looking at the photo of his dead wife and Josh and Donna. In this Will was the only one who got what he desired. I just wish I knew who did the song. I love it.

I thik Will's Epiphay is that he realises that he has backed the wrong horse. After Vinick's brave admonishnent of the Ethanol leagues , he sees his own future and understands he could of done more because he is moralistic at heart.King corn is the modern jargon for the political movement [and the power this can wield] in the 'swing' states.
