Re: Rebranding Disasters

Science Fiction Channel
Since Elizabeth stole mine, lets talk about how SciFi changed the spelling of its name to "syfy".

I guess the science fiction channel forgot to check the urban dictionary because "syfy" is a slang term for ..... wait for it.... SYPHILIS! LOL

 I, of course, had no idea that "syfy" was a slang term for an STD, but I would hope the company would have done a little research prior to changing something so drastic. They changed the spelling of the name because the company was unable to trademark "sci-fi," so they decided to alter its spelling.
