The SciFi channel makes an ass out of itself...Again

Hey, a name change to a word that doesn't exist, and a motto that is grammatically incomprehensible! That'll make our ratings *skyrocket!*

I am uncertain if there is anyone this quote, from Tim Brooks, is not going to offend: "The name Sci Fi has been associated with geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that, as opposed to the general public and the female audience in particular." I suspected in the mid- to late- nineties, given the rapid shedding of science fiction and fantasy shows, that whoever had taken over the channel had a pronounced dislike of the material's core fan base, and this reaffirms that suspicion. Plainly, they hate whatever their concept of a "geek" is, they are unable to tell quality science fiction and fantasy from schlock, and they are attempting to distance themselves from the very genre their channel is named after. In which case, why have any sci-fi shows whatsoever? Admittedly, these days it barely does- they show professional wrestling, for the gods' sakes- and the CG monster of the week films barely count as movies, much less as science fiction. The channel has already alienated 90% of its former fan base (and I count myself among them- in the early 1990's, the Scifi Channel was excellent) by showing the absolute garbage that it currently does. Really, the name change is probably necessary, seeing as most of the programming has very little to do with science fiction, but their new name is ludicrous. Something like "The Miscellaneous Programming Channel" would do very nicely, or the "It's two AM and you're drunk, why not watch us?" channel. It would certainly be more honest.
