BECAUSE I CAN

jade_sabreso, we're trying to find the Alice miniseries online to watch, because it is supposed to be adorable, but its distributor is being a dumbface and taking it off YouTube. Whilst questing for it, I went to syfy.com, and then, on a whim, wandered down to their "feedback" link, and sent them the following email:
To Whomever It May Concern,
I have yet to hear of any legitimate reason for turning the name of the SciFi channel into some thirteen-year-old girl's idea of a cutsy nickname. The rebranding fails to reach out to either a new audience who might have been "turned off" at the thought of science fiction, due to its inanity, or to actual science fiction fans, who, as I'm sure you know, are horrified at what you have done to their beloved genre's nickname. It is obviously far too late to stop your descent into madness, but I just thought I would let you know, a little piece of me dies every time I channel surf past you.
Sincerely,
[Jade Sabre]
science fiction fan
...man, that felt good.
(p.s. a little piece of me really does die. Or at least feel like the entire SciFi network is poking it with a large, shame-inducing stick. WHY CAN'T YOU BE TRUE TO YOUR ROOTS, SYFY. WHY SO ASHAMED. it is not like they even decided to change their name to "syfy" and then stop doing ridiculous alien disaster movies.)
