The Siffee Channel just sounds stupid. Sounds like it might be drug or porn related. Or maybe coffee-related.

I'll continue to call it SciFi, perhaps they'll get the hint.

I also didn't see the point in changing the spelling. The SciFi channel is having the same problem some other niche channels have in that they are so niche that they can't grow their audience any further so they broaden their programming. When was the last time you've seen MTV playing music videos?

Funny, I figured my contempt for actual humor might get me a few groans.
