so apparently Sci Fi Channel has changed its name to Syfy. i remember when i first saw it on tv, one very small smidgen of my consciousness thought, "That must be a joke." The rest of my attention was focused on more important things, like tracing the shapes of the remote control buttons with my fingernail. i bring this up only because i came across an article about it on CNN:
silly news story of the day
you don't have to read it. i wouldn't blame you. summary below:
sci fi is now called syfy. stupid? consensus: yes! additional comments: "wtf," "are you retarded," and "what the hell is sci fi channel." segue : other channels have also changed their names in the past. consensus: no one noticed, or cared. concluding statement: sci fi channel begs audience, please stop calling us siffy.
it's funny that the article was posted yesterday, when the change happened about 3 or 4 months ago. or maybe more. or less. judging from the timeliness of CNN's article, no one cares. one line that i did like from the article, though, was a statement from Dave Howe (president of SciFiSyfySiffy channel): "The last thing we want to do is alienate our core audience."
he doesn't want to alienate their core audience. get it? alien? sci fi? syfy?
ho ho ho :)
