hukt on fonix?
The SciFi Channel is changing its name. Yes, they want to make it completely clear that they're not just for geeks. Never mind that being a geek in this day and age is actually rather admirable. Or that, you know, geeks actually *are* their demographic. No, they've decided to rename themselves the SyFy Channel. Which, on top of being one of the most pointless name changes in history---it's the *same* *name*---has the added benefit of making them look completely illiterate.

Alas, it's probably far too late to pressure them into abandoning this course of action. But we can still laugh at them. And apparently come up with 25 Other Names the SciFi Channel Could Rebrand With. (I think #3 might be my favorite.)

I feel like the new name change is something that the Evil Overloard list should address. Rule 172, I will not rename my evil empire something which makes us sound foolish. It will be too hard to recruit top talent.

LOL. So true. :) Too hard to recruit a decent viewing audience, as well. Unless the Grand Plan really, truly includes a complete demographic shift toward the mediocre. In which case, SyFy is aces.

if Caprica ends up as crummy as the previews make it look you may be spot on.
