CNN hologram technology

For those who were watching CNN during the Election Day coverage (and why would you when there's Fox News in the world, amirite?), I'm sure you were no doubt aware that CNN has hologram technology — mainly because Wolf Blitzner nearly shat himself over it.

CNN had Jessica Yellin "projected" into the studio live from thousands of miles away in a full 3D hologram for their coverage, which really means they took a video of her in front of a greenscreen and superimposed it onto the video later.

The absurdity of CNN getting so stoked over this (and the media following) coupled with the fact that they paid, like, $300,000 to get this done is my favorite part. Oh, and the comments.
