Coming from a media/advertising background, this caught my eye immediately. Whatever product is being advertised behind them, remember it was strategically placed there with CNN's full knowledge. I say this, because no news network would allow just any company to get free advertising and every news director, especially when on location sets up their shot, fully aware of what's in the background. Whoever designed the ad and arranged the placement, knew exactly what they were doing.
