I don’t really care what the SciFi Channel calls itself, but rebranding itself as SyFy to not alienate people is just plain silly. Most tweeters seem to agree, judging from the search result for the #SyFy hashtag, and here’s the Technorati tag. Science fiction blog io9 offers 25 other names for rebranding the channel, and webcomic Real Life makes a pretty good observation. Penny Arcade is slightly less politically correct, as usual.
I don’t know, maybe they hoped to do a Wii and gain something from all the bad jokes. After all, all the pee jokes proved successful for Nintendo (the Wii prints money), so maybe that’s it? Either way, gotta love the blogosphere for making the most of this thing.

They had to change their name. Forrest Ackerman’s estate was probably ready to sue for royalties since Ackerman coined the phrase “sci-fi”. He died in December 2008.

Hey, I’m sorry for the offtopic question but would you maybe tell me where to find the theme you are using? I would like to use the same template or perhaps a very similar one. Can you tell me where you got it from?

Nice post. I be taught one thing more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It should all the time be stimulating to read content material from other writers and apply somewhat something from their store. I’d want to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink on your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
