Siffie

[tinhuvielartanis]

Today, I turned the TV on to the Sci-Fi Channel and it was gone. In a puff of acrid smoke, just POOF! Gone. Siffie, ::points menacingly at her TV::, you have no Geek cred. Go home before the Nerds beat you up.

They changed the name to Siffie? Because syfy is polish for venereal disease? I mean, siffie sounds like a nickname for syphilis!

"Sorry, Jim, can't come in to work today, I've got a bad case of the siffies in the brain! Yeah, damn that hooker! She said she was clean!"

When I see SYFY, I pronounce it siffie, 'cos it sure as hell isn't Sci-Fi. ::harumph::

[john-flint.livejournal.com]

It sure as hell ain't sithy, eh?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Or Sithly either.

[john-flint.livejournal.com]

I had to switch it on and take a look. Mein Gott!

Urban Dictionary is on top of the situation, as always.

Honestly, I thought it was just a stupid joke at first. Did Sci-Fi hire Burger King's creepy cracked-out ad department or something?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Yep, pretty much sums up how us Olde Guarde (I like extra e's shoot me) feel about the situation.

As for whom they hired, they sure didn't hire the Geico crowd, who probably would have suggested the network remain the same.

...which reminds me of something I've been meaning to do...

I just sent the editor fifty copies of that dictionary link... same as I did two months ago when I first heard. It's still hard to believe they're being so brazenly stupid.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it isn't really. Sign of the times.

They changed the fucking name to something incredibly lame. SYFY. Fuck you Sci- fi....you were already an abbreviation....and now you look like a fucking stock symbol.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Werd.

[hilhilbean.livejournal.com]

WHY would they do that?

Retards.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

You just answered your own question.

[walkinlikecain.livejournal.com]

WTF were they thinking? I mean they chose the original name SCI-FI!!!to describe it's content and they had some awesome shit ie BSG!!! WHICH IS SCIENCE FICTION! NOT SYANCE FYIACTION? or whatever?!? I mean...what was their reasoning...to make it more mainstream?!?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

I see no reasoning in it but to alienate their core fan base, at which I believe they will achieve success beyond their wildest dreams.

[walkinlikecain.livejournal.com]

They succeeded alright - I syfy is so retarded...Their commercial is even more annoying than the Sonic guys or that cocksucker who must die "freecredit.com" guy or that whore I hate Flo from progressive...

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

I hate them all except for the creditreport dude. That's Eric Violette and he sings the Blues...in French... He provokes the same reaction in me that you do, my little Pine Nut.

[walkinlikecain.livejournal.com]

Don't take offense my sweet - but if I ever meet him - I will kill him...but in return I will pose naked for you and let you paint me up as Darth Maul...and you know how much a Vader fan I am...

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

I would expect nothing less of my Sithly Prince.

[walkinlikecain.livejournal.com]

Well ya know there can only be two and me and you are it! ;-D

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

You've no idea how glad I am of that!

[walkinlikecain.livejournal.com]

Or even if I don't and kill the freecredit dude - I would do the naked D maul for you...think that would be hot...
