Syfy Channel
Will:
I remember reading about this on Fark and thinking it HAD to be an April Fool's Day prank. That's a phenomenally stupid, cringe-worthy, eye-twitchingly fuckawful name change.
Fun fact: I once watched an entire 2-part, 4-hour "movie" on that channel called "Runaway Train" featuring Rob Lowe as the big star. It was everything you would expect.
Inlander:
Dishy?
Orbert:
Not only is the new "name" completely stupid, but it is pointless because it doesn't change anything. If you tell someone you watched something on the "SyFy" channel as opposed to the "Sci-Fi" channel, they'll still laugh at you, won't know that the channel has a new name, and won't care.
"Imagine Greater" nabs them a second award for Stupidest Motto and also gets bonus points for being grammatically incorrect, though I suppose "Imagine More Greatly" would sound even more stupid (which I would not have thought possible until now).
McTaggart:
I think the motto is taking the operator 'Greater' and making it an 'Imagine Greater' operator. So instead of an adjective that you apply to the thing on the right you're getting a verb that you apply to a thing on the right.
And I heard that their changing the name to something meaningless so that they can get away with showing less science-fictioney things.
Alex C:
Ugh, I had almost forgotten about that name change announcement.
