The Art of Paraphrasing.

Actual quote, re: The Sci Fi channel's name change:

"The name Sci Fi has been associated with geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that[...]" - Tim Brooks, TV historian who helped launch the Sci Fi channel.

My version:

"We hate the 14 people who regularly tune into our network, so we're going to try to lure the other 6 billion by insulting them."
