CNN and Penn

Hi guys,

I'm curious to know why CNN periodically inserts a split-second photo of Penn during some of its news programming. The photo is flashed slightly quicker than the mind can focus, but it happens quite regularly. Does Penn know about this use of his image?

You know, it is said that the Penn is mighter than the sword , but does the same hold true for his split-second?

Hi Byrd,

I'm not sure what you are seeing but it is not Penn.

Sincerely,
Audrey

I have also seen the split second image of Penn in between commercials or lead ins to CNN news. I have wondered if it is some kind of psychological subliminal messaging experiment involving Penn and his connection to magic and illusions. What gives ???
