The Weather Channel

I think the name "The Weather Channel" is a bit misleading. It makes a person think that they can turn on that channel and get-- you know-- the weather. But nine times out of ten, that's not the case. You get stuck with friggin' Storm Stories or some shit. The Weather Channel has succumbed to the same fate that MTv did so many years ago. (For those too young to remember, it used to be that you could turn on MTv and watch music videos, or perhaps see music-related news. These days, you can't turn on MTv without seeing Paris Hilton exposing herself in yet another way.) So I, for one, vote that The Weather Channel change its name to, say, "The Weather-Related Channel" or "The Weather from Yesteryear Channel." And then step aside and let someone else become the 24-hour weather channel.
