Stupid names for things

Recently, I have been struck by the stupidity of TWO names of things. They are both Telivisual related.

1) Pam Face. There is a programme about single mums on Channel 4 they have advertised and they are calling the series Pram Face. Thats stupid.

2) Snakes on a Plane. A new film with Samual L Jackson in it. It looks like they are trying to make a relatively serious action/thriller film set on a plane. There are snakes on the plane. Who thought of that name?

BEHOLD...THE PRODUCTION MEETING FOR THE FILM:

PRODUCER: "So, we have everything in place, a great plot - man on plane, man has enemy, enemy wants to get man, security is high on plane to protect man, enemy needs a cunning plan, enemy puts snakes on plane"

PRODUCTION ASSISTANT: "Thats a great plot"

PRODUCER: "I know. Sam L Jack has agreed to be the security man who can stop any plane disasters. Thats his job in the film, its realistic, these people really exist."

BEST BOY: "How do the snakes get on the plane?"

PRODUCTION ASSISTANT: "How they always do, they sliver"

BEST BOY: "So whats the problem? We have a plot, we have Samual L, we have long movers...there is nothing that can go wrong"

PRODUCER: "Well, we need a title. We haven't thought of a god damn title"

EVERYONE: "Oh"

EVERYONE: "Hmmmm"

(Silence fills the room as everyone thinks on...it appears a name is proving difficult)

BEST BOY: "I have an idea"

PRODUCER: "OK, Shoot"

BEST BOY: "Well, seeing as the film involves these snakes that get on a plane, I was thinking we could call it: Snakes on a Plane?"

PRODUCER: "Brilliant, that really is brilliant. Great, I am happy, everyone happy?"

EVERYONE: "Agreed"

PRODUCER: "You really are the BEST BOY"

EVERYONE: LAUGH

I imagine it was something like that.

Idiots.

Absolute idiots.

What you may be interested in is the realistic characters portrayed in that re-enactment. Best Boy was present, nobody knows what best boy does on a film and until now nobody knew why he was called best boy.
