Some of the things you cite aren't that clear-cut: water doesn't wet Rain-X and bears sometimes shit in cities.

I think this might be a whoosh for you. News casters on television would, before an ad, sometimes give you a preview of what stories they would do and what time they would start talking about them. I juxtaposed a series of unsurprising statements as a response to another unsurprising piece of info: the Catholic church is, in fact, not changing. The items I cited were mundane and unsurprising items, not universal truths.
