This is Your Brain, CNN
I've been watching CNN International for the past 4 years, and what a beautiful 4 years it has been for the world's leading 24-hour news channel. However, many are still ranting about the slow and painful revamp that this network took into their brains.
Come to think of it, the CNN of 2006-2008 has been called by many CNN enthusiasts to be the "golden age" because of its very comprehensive and innovative aesthetics. The images, sets and graphics you see are very linear, clear, bright and fresh, just like any contemporary design of today. The overall look was unobtrusive; it did not distract me from the picture, the video and the anchor.
This is your brain.
As days pass the 2008-2009 look of CNN became too much blue and red. Yes, BLUE and RED. The graphics of the studios became too dark and depressing. Like, would you wake up just to see something gloomy and boring in the morning on CNN Today? And how do you feel when you see the looping glorification of the blue CNN logo...pains your heart?
This is your brain on drugs.
Then...the much "anticipated" September 21, 2009 revamp. New ideas, new perspectives, new look. But now, CNN became BLUE, ORANGE, YELLOW, BROWN, RED. What? It's too much pain in the eyes when you see warm colors converging with cool colors. Yes, I was impressed by the new philosophy of CNN, but I still rant over the new look.
This is your brain on therapy, right now.
I'll be looking forward to the future, CNN, when you will be a greatest standard to news. But I will still look back to your beautiful past. You were beautiful then, but the Beeb has surpassed you now.
But I'm stickin' with you, 'cause your anchors are beautiful.

| Your look like you've been on sedatives. You're boring. |

| You're still beautiful, Ms. Rao. But, what did you do, CNN? It pains me a lot! |
But I'm stickin' with you, 'cause your anchors are beautiful.
