Latest fey TV genius move "Sounds like slang for syphilis"

James Hibberd's The Live Feed -"Your daily jolt of TV industry buzz"- has long been one of my favorite entertainment websites to read, and Wednesday was no exception.
I caught up with James and read his take from Monday regarding the death-spiral move made by the top genius suit at NBC Universal Cable named Bonnie Hammer, who, to the dismay of actual viewers of The Sci-Fi Channel -which sometimes includes me- has decided to further destroy what little credibility remains there by changing its moniker to Syfy.
Really.

The first thing I thought of?
Sounds like a newly created category on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, MBTI, of which I'm an ENFP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENFP

Ridicule hardly begins to describe what happens to TV exec Bonnie Hammer in the forums.
It's sort of like watching everyone taking swing-for-the-fences swipes at The Herald at various blog sites and their own forums.
Sometimes, people really hit the sweet spot and connect!
