Very silly.
Reminds me of an old ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’
sketch:
(Fade in on ordinary interview set. Interviewer sitting with man with large polystyrene nose.)

Interviewer: Good evening. I have with me in the studio tonight one of Britain’s leading skin specialists – Raymond Luxury Yacht.

Raymond: That’s not my name.

Interviewer: I’m sorry – Raymond Luxury Yach-t.

Raymond: No, no, no – it’s spelt Raymond: Luxury Yach-t, but it’s pronounced ‘Throatwobbler Mangrove’.

Interviewer: You’re a very silly man and I’m not going to interview you.

Silly, but really no sillier than the dreck that’s passed of as ‘Sci-Fi’
nowadays. Ghost Hunters? Wrestling??

Give me a break…

Maybe they think that dumbing down is the way of the world.
Really guys……fire the programmer! Fire those idiots in the think tank!

Waste of time, effort and money. Sci Fi worked well and tied in with its content…
