The Sci-fi (syfy) channel doesn't like nerds anymore

      "There's nowhere where there's no Star Wars "

- Person from Collection Intervention commercial

When your girlfriend forces you to get rid of your precious
collection, take note of this rage comic...

The Sci-fi channel (I'm not calling it SYFY, jackasses!) apparently wants us to not be jealous of the awesomely nerdy collections that accumulate in the homes of awesomely nerdy nerds. They call this show Collection Inervention, and from what I can tell by the ads each episode is a mini-tragedy. They force men to give up their precious incredible life-time devoted collections of awesome shit to please their wives and girlfriends. There isn't anything mentally wrong with them, they just love their collection of action figures and whatnot. They're not kleptomaniacs, this is stuff that took ages to find and track down. Then because one female walks in who doesn't like Star Wars or StarTrek, and doesn't feel that same passion regarding whatever area of pop-culture said nerd is into, they have to give it all up?! Bullshit! They need to Break up with that chick and find someone who shares the same love of... whatever aspect of geek culture they're into. Never give up your identity as a geek just because society indicates that decorating your house with Stormtroopers and wookies is apparently dumb and immature.
         
      We live in a time where nerds are no longer the hipsters they once were. This is an era where Hollywood is making movies about superheroes people never even knew existed before. An era where a Star Trek movie of all things grosses a huge amount of money. A time when wearing that Battlestar Galactica t-shirt you keep in a droor is considered cool now. Why is is then that decorating one's house with said stuff is still a no-no. Now we have the sci-fi channel, who once aired such thought provoking and intelligent shows as the previously mentioned Battlestar Galactica, and Stargate SG1 telling us to throw away our nerdiness because it clashes with the bland mainstream taste of some chick who's forceing you to change who you are. I don't care if suddenly the attractive and somewhat attractive female unions decide to boycott me because I like displaying my love of geek culture in whatever way I feel like it. I will stand up here today against what suburban ideology dictates us to do.

I want it all... I want it all... I want it all
and i want it now!

      In the ads, what I presume is the host of the show, states when going into someone's house; "There's nowhere where there's no Star Wars". I can think of at least 10 people off the top of my head who would kill to have a collection like they showed. The Sci-fi channel already turned their back on the fanbase they were originally appealing to by not giving us a unique innovative space saga since Stargate Universe went off the air. Now they're focusing on reality shows about ghosts and hunting Bigfoot. That's not what sci-fi fans want to see more of. They even changed their name to SyFy to further dumb down the intellect of their programs. And now with this Collection Intervention show they're launching a direct attack on the nerds that once flocked to their channel, I for one cannot stand for this! Until Syfy (groan, that name makes me cringe every time I see it) puts on another noteworthy sci-fi epic... I won't be happy.

Still not as bad as the new "History" channel line-up...

I'm sorry, I thought this was TV for guys who like History
You know... on the History channel.
