14. Hey, CNN....
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 06:39 PM by jamieque
Captain Picard called and asked for you guys to quit contaminating the timeline. We aren't suppose to have holographic tech yet according to Star Trek history. Did someone at CNN time travel to the 24th Century and steal some Holodeck Tech from the Enterprise D or E?

If we see someone from the future pop up on the CNN set during tonights Election broadcast then we will know something is definitely up.
