Two CNN reporters wore matching green jackets, and of course they got green screened

Made to be meme'd.

I love a good matching outfit -- and so, too, does Twitter.

On Wednesday, two CNN correspondents looked like twins when they wore seemingly identical green jackets on air. On their own, the matching jackets might inspire a "ha" or even a "hahaha." But because green coats are so easy to manipulated thanks to green screen technology, things got weirder.

Look at what The Daily's Show Matt Negrin did to this beautiful, otherwise transitory, viral moment. This rendition of the "Big Enough" meme may never be topped.

Correspondents Kara Scannell and Pamela Brown were clearly aware of the situation.

Let this be a warning to all of you broadcast journalists: Do not wear matching winter jackets if you do not want to be made into a lighthearted meme. Do not wear green.
