Truth in Advertising: New Names for Cable Channels
This is an archived post, originally published on Hope, Love, and Peace (blog.jtimothyking.com).
I’ve been noticing a change in the programming in many cable TV channels. I am therefore proposing the following name changes:
- The Discovery Channel will henceforth be called the Extreme Feats and Blowing Stuff Up Channel.
- The History Channel will henceforth be called the Dangerous Jobs and Ghosts and UFO's Channel.
- The Learning Channel will henceforth be called the Fashion and Big Families with Lots of Kids Channel.
- Spike TV will henceforth be called the CSI and Wrestling Channel.
- Oxygen will henceforth be called the Supermodels and Other Crazy Females Channel.
- The Food Network will henceforth be called the Kitchen Stadium Channel.
- TruTV will henceforth be called the Murder and Other Really Bad Crimes Channel.
I’m sure I missed a whole bunch of others. What do you think should be the real name of your favorite cable TV channel?
