I would swear I just heard Darth Vader say: "This is CNN"
What kind of network would use the voice of Darth vader for their tag? (rhetorical)


CNN broadcasting toward Alderon

2. James Earl Jones does a lot of commercials
Now, if the breathing sound is there, then I would worry!!

:)

He has a very distinctive voice.

5. Is it really him? Or is it his brother?
I know there are several celebrity voices that sound like the real celebs, but are really siblings.

6. It's him
CNN's been using that tag since Ted Turner owned the network (sigh). You wanna hear something funny? I was in Barnes & Noble the other day and saw they have the Bible on tape read by James Earl Jones. Of course my bent sense of humor immediately saw the possiblities of Darth Vader lending a whole different tone to the "Good Book"... :-)

7. LOL. The movies would not have been the same without his voice
I am sure the Bible is not the same with his voice!

8. remember that Simpson's episode
where Bleeding Gums Murphy died James Earl Jones showed up as Vader, The Lion King, and CNN voice over.

It was particularly funny since they referenced to Disney Ripped off Tezuka's Kimba The White Lion
