They will only offend geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that. I don't know anyone who watches Science Fiction that resembles that description. Most of them are well rounded, socially developed, openminded, tech gurus who live in overpriced apartments with really big TV's hosting cocktail parties for an ethnically diverse group of friends. I am not offended. Besides, everyone knows it is spelled syence fyction anyways. I don't think you are getting it.

Sci-Fi is limiting? Then what is *snort* "SyFy"? Besides a retarded name for a channel, that is...?

Seems like they already failed on the latter. I think its a done deal, seems like they think they can broaden their audience while not alienating their current one.

That is such a naive, and poorly composed statement by their spokesperson, I sincerely hope that they will rethink their actions.
