YEAH! Let's have a corner on the television market of science fiction by having the channel named after the genera..... and then not use it.

You will now refer to me as Bry.

Seriously, why don't they just change the name again to Extreme Stuff with a neon drop shadowed X?

Haha, I don't read Scalzi's blog as often as I should. I would totally watch more Syfy if their tagline was “Imaginate Greatably.” :)

Syfy should've just stuck to their silly, but inoffensive and otherwise probably not overly noteworthy line about Syfy being trademarkable. Insulting their core audience? I thought that was Kring's trademark. :)

Speaking as a geeky, dysfunctional, antisocial guy playing video games and stuff like that in my basement, I'm offended.

Just read on Scalzi's blog that in Poland, the word “syfy” is used to identify “crusty, scabby sexually transmitted diseases”. Nice work Sci-Fi Channel….FAIL.
