"G4TV", simple typo, or purposeful snub?

Saturday night at around 1145pm central time, i was watching the Saturday night marathon of G4's gaming/techno/movie news-type show "Attack Of The Show" and while watching the episode from Tuesday i was reading the news ticker that runs at the bottom of the screen witch they call "The Feed" when, much to my interest. and eventual horror and dismay, they ran a little piece about our favorite communications officer, Nichelle Nichols, Joining the cast of heroes, and as i do not watch TV news shows or get on the internet, this was news to me, anyway, as the ticker went along with the story, it read(I do not remember the exact way it read, but something similar to...) Popular show "Heroes" announces that it will adding Nichelle Nichols to its cast, Nichols played communications officer Uhura in the classic TV show "STAR TRAK" ect ect ect. They misspelled it, now if this were something on E! TV or some other normal pop culture news show, I would just chalk it up to idiocy, but this being G4tv, who runs mini marathons of STAR TREK tos and plays TNG on a regular schedule, and proclaims itself to be the gaming/techno generations TV channel, I was to say the least, upset, I don’t know if this was just ineptness or a purposeful snub at our great community, anyway, I was outraged, given the circumstances and figured I would mention this on here, tho it has probably already been brought up.
 
true enuff, lol, still disapointing tho. i typed that up at midnight saturday night, when it was still fresh in my head, but i had to wait till i got to a computer with the internet to post it, so at that point i was still rather miff'd

Wow. They've got idiots on TV now? That's different.
 
You misspelled the abbreviation for "etcetera" 3 times in the same sentence you quoted their misspelling.

Sorry for the nitpick.

Mistake. Why is every little mistake taken as some kind of conspiracy against Trekfans?
you are working for them aren't you. In fact I think you all are. This whole website is out to get me.




...or maybe I am just saying that to throw you all off the track so you don't realise I am working for them....the evil anti trek fan cabal run by Kermit the frog.

Wow...someone still watches G4TV? Wouldn't suprise me that it would be either a snub or a typo.

All the interesting people and programs on that network have been cancelled and let go. Think DL.TV for real tech news for techies and Trekkies alike.

Btw, speaking of G4TV, what's everyone's take on their hilarious TOS spoofs? I thought they were HILARIOUS! Especially the Cribs one.

At least G4 gave respect to Trek as it deserves...unlike those fools over at tvland...don't even get me started.
