New Name For Sci Fi Channel

[Blamo]

The execs over at "SyFy" should share whatever it is they're smoking with the rest of us. How on earth is this a good idea....

They were probably wondering how they could possibly dumb down the channel further.

"Oh, you know how Sci-fi is the word Science Fiction dumbed down? Why don't we dumb it down further by calling it SyFy! Not only would it be indicative of the direction we're taking this channel, but it would make it easier for idiots to type in our sites URL"
"Brilliant idea!"

"We still have a fucking website? Who the fuck watches this shit?"

"The same people who think Kanye West can sing."

 

[TheMasterOfOrion]

SyFy?

Lame!

I'm wondering if that "I'll sue you" portalboy is somehow connected to this

 

[USS Mariner]

"You want reruns of The Twilight Zone?

We've got something better: The Twilight Zone, in TECHNICOLOR...

...with JOHN CENA

...and TITS

...with TYPER PERRY in a FATSUIT, playing EVERYONE, INCLUDING JOHN CENA."

That cover enough demographics?

 

[RoJoHen]

Needs more tits.

 

[USS Mariner]

I thought having Tyler Perry and John Cena's meaty pecs were enough.

EDIT: I have officially whacked my head against my monitor while laughing. It's a 17" CRT.

Still laughing.

Mariner..like your av!

 

[USS Mariner]

^That reminds me...

"Pseudo-religious monkeys, now on SyFy!

...and PORN, because why the fuck not?"

(I know, I'm having too much fun. I'm on too much caffeine right now. Deal with it.)

EDIT: Seriously though, would it surprise anyone if they did actually pulled that stuff? They're done everything else.

 

[Technobuilder]

Is it just me or did anyone else pronouce SyFy as "Sif-fie"?

 

[RoJoHen]

No...because that would be wrong.

 

[USS Mariner]

You could say See-Fee. That's wrong and almost inappropriate!

I think they already had some pornie thing on scifi, a bunch of girls from ECW rolling around after some poker game wrestling each other naked if memory serves correct... SCI FI UK never bothered to hide behind the banner of ECW they blatantly showed porn on the channel at midnight.

The channel has been a mockery of itself ever since they canceled Farscape, their only claim to fame today is Battlestar a show that's over-hyped bullshit

Is this kind of channel worth 50+ bucks a month?

Ah yes, the infamous Extreme Strip Poker episode. Thankfully, at least as a wrestling programme (which you can take or leave) ECW has improved vastly since then.

And yes, Sci-Fi UK does occasionally show soft porn films late at night during the weekends.

"Oh," I said to myself when I saw your name in the list of recent posters, "Heavens, TMoO posted in a thread about the Sci-Fi channel. I wonder, could he have taken a potshot at BSG in the process? Hmm. I don't see it so far. Nope, still not here. Hey, maybe he's turned over a...no. No. There it is."

So thank you. Thank you, TheMasterOfOrion, for keeping my faith in the balance of the universe intact.

 

[Hermiod]

^And I immediately realised that there would be a significant number of people blaming ECW for this.

 

[Rii]

Rerminds me of that Simpsons episode in which Homer J. Simpson discovers that his middle name is "Jay".

 

[Snaploud]

My advice for the "Syfy" channel:

Fire everybody responsible for this change. Right now. Don't even give them a chance to explain their side. Just point them to the door.

 

[USS Mariner]

Ooo, I thought of another tag line:

"SyFy: Don't Just Imagine Greater, Watch a Better Channel. Right Now."

Gep Malakai you're wasting yourself.

You and many other RDM fanatics who spammed by inbox with vulgar comments have been on my ignore list
so I'm telling you this to save you the trouble of writing to me in future

I assume you're coming to this thread a cry about

"Leave Skiffy/BSG Alone"

Please, find somebody else to go all drama queen in front of. I can't be bothered logging out and back in to see what kind of stupid reply you've left for me, you're on my ignore list permanently.

 

[RoJoHen]

Ooh, the drama.
