    Color me cynical, but I'd bet just the opposite.
    Considering that it's going to be on the Fox News Channel, it'll more likely be put forth as something along the lines of "we were forced to change the name due to the terroristic tactics of online communities slandering us on sites like Amazon blah blah blah typical Fox News fodder blah blah..."

    You idiots are fucking retarded if you think Slashdot had a goddamned thing to do with this. You don't fucking matter, nobody gives a fuck about you. You're a bunch of goddamned geek-ass bastards. Shut the fuck up and quit pretending you matter.
