My favorite quote so far on this topic:

As if science fiction as a genre weren’t already the butt of so much unfair derision, now the Sci Fi Channel has gone and changed its name to “Syfy,” which is precisely the corporate equivalent of that girl in eighth grade who rechristened herself “Braaandiii” with hearts over all the i’s, and just as stupid.
