Syfy Channel
billiumbean:
It's official: The Sci Fi Channel has been renamed Syfy.
--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---On March 16, 2009, Sci Fi announced that it would be changing its name to Syfy, to end confusion over how to capitalize and stylize their name and as part of an on-going rebranding effort. Network officials also noted that, unlike the generic term "sci fi" which represents the entire science fiction genre, the term "Syfy" can be protected by trademark and therefore would be easier to market on other goods or services without fear of confusion with other companies' products. The only significant previous use of the term "Syfy" in relation to science fiction was by the website Syfy Portal, which became Airlock Alpha after selling the brand to NBC Universal (represented by a shell company) in February. Reaction to the new name has been largely negative. The new name took effect on July 7, 2009.

In the playground those with the stupid names get eaten alive.

Now that BSG's gone, they have absolutely no reason for people to watch their network.
Except for this new "Syfy" bullshit.
Jimor:
What about the SyFy Orygynal Movys?
