Dear SyFy

When The Clone Wars finally comes to an end, the team that makes that show needs to be put to work on a new D&D cartoon based in Eberron. It would have plenty of the same elements ( a core party, fantastic locations, flashy battles, intrigue, war, edit: different races working together ) .

[MENTION=8116]Gg[/MENTION]ory - my gods, I am an idiot and I didn't even realize it until I read your post.... :eek:

Sci-Fi was changed to SyFy so they could register the trademark... DUH!
Sci-Fi is a known lexicon abbreviation for Science-Fiction, so much so that it is in the Webster's and Oxford's Collegiate Dictionaries. I feel that we may have been duped somewhat with that whole "image" change thing.

Not that the bitch queen of program isn't still a complete moron for wanting wrestling/reality based programming, but someone, somewhere in the organization is a genius...

Umm, I'm pretty sure they had no problem trademarking the name "The Sci-Fi Channel".
 


Who is this exec ru(i)nning Syfy, Lorraine Williams? :lol:

I don't really care that they changed the name, it looks stupid, but it's branding and whatever. The name doesn't really matter a long as there's good programming. Good programming is not junk reality shows. And wrestling.

I've been increasingly thinking that what geekdom needs to do is come up with a hobby or entertainment that is completely and utterly without any profit potential whatsoever. Then we won't need to worry about ham-fisted and insulting attepts by executives who don't get our interests and have nothing but contempt for them anyway to expand the fanbase, which basically means dumbing down the things we like to pander to the mundanes. Then we can enjoy what we like in peace.

The rednecks already beat us to it with Noodling- fishing by standing waist to neck deep using your bare hands as bait/hook.

Bad visuals, no beer drinking while fishing, no place except a hat to put a logo, and no gear.

...And they STILL made a TV show about it: Hillbilly Handfishin'.

Danny kind of beat me to it, but, yeah, they used to say "next on Sci-Fi"; The Sci-Fi Channel and the related logos most assuredly were trademarked...but "Sci-Fi" wasn't - but "Sy-Fy" is...

Bloody brilliant, actually.

I hope this was an attempt at humor. Otherwise feeling insulted by people you insult seems to lack the superiority you hold dear.
