Smoothly interpolating away objects in still pictures is impressive enough, but reader geoffbrecker writes with a stunning demonstration from Germany's Technical University of Ilmenau of on-the-fly erasure of selected objects in video. Quoting: "The effect is achieved by an image synthesizer that reduces the image quality, removes the object, and then increases the image quality back up. This all happens within 40 milliseconds, fast enough that the viewer doesn't notice any delay."

We need a name for this process. I suggest "to Jar-Jar." Examples:
They Jar-Jared the cell phone and stapler off the desk.
"Jar-jar the 3-D glasses off the chair."

It was a guy! He Jar-jared his webcam!
