Day 529, 02:57 Published in Romania Romania by kiriashoo
CNN has been parodied many times. Many movies outside of the Turner Broadcasting Network also mention CNN in their storylines. Several television shows (i.e. Seven Days, JAG, and NCIS) use a parody of CNN known as ZNN . During the run of the series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, LNN was used to stand for the Luthor News Network. In the movie Mr Bones appears a news network with the name "CCN" , its logo being in the same font as CNN's. In the video game Desert Strike, the in-game news station is called EANN , with the EA standing for the video game company's name, Electronic Arts. The movie Batman Forever shows a newscast on "GNN" (presumably standing for Gotham News Network). The logo is very similar to the "CNN" logo. GNN also appears on the Nolan series of Batman films. Other parodies or references include Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour's American campaign, featuring updates on missions with a correspondent from BNN , the rapper Eminem included a similar alteration in his song "Without Me", where, dressed up as Osama Bin Laden he was reported on by ENN , due to his name being Eminem. Finally, the movie The Dark Knight had its own version of CNN called GCN . In the DVD, episiods of Gotham Tonight of the GCN network are founded explain events before the movie.
