Name Changes are Silly

Postby codemaster » Tue Aug 04, 2009 11:01 am

"Pizza Hut" => "The Hut"
"Radio Shack" => "The Shack"
"SciFi" => "SyFy"

anyone else find these all as really bad name changes? :(

Edit: Phew, okay, at least Pizza Hut is just -adopting- "The Hut" as a secondary name... or something

That's what I was kind of thinking, actually.
If they continue with the name change, they should totally use him in their commercials.

Yeah,I find SciFi changing to SyFy quite retarded. It's like saying thx instead of thanks. Did really know about radio shack changing. But calling it "the Shack" is a bad call. doesn't really tell you what kind of place it is. Like if you never knew what type of place it was before hand, you wouldn't really go into a place called the shack.
Though a lot of channels are changing there names like SciFi did.

Supposedly "SyFy" was copyright-able, while "SciFi" wasn't, since it was a genre.

Still silly; I agree. :huh:

Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw the name change. Had to do with copyrighting. Usually is half the time when something changes names.

Every time I flip through my channels and see that "SyFy" on the sidebar a single tear rolls down my cheek.

It is really my honor to have this opportunity for a interview,
Birds may face dangers in their everyday lives both while eating, flying, or perching. The danger may be from one of their own kind who feels his territory has been invaded.



Other dangers include larger birds who will kill and eat smaller birds, squirrels who raid the bird feeders, insects who invade hummingbird feeders, and windows which appear invisible to birds in flight.



Here are some ways to combat the problematic situations, making your birdfeeders some of the most popular and most frequented in the neighborhood, resulting in hours of birdwatching fun for you and your family.
