PBS Changes Name to DPBS

The Public Broadcast System today announced that they are changing their name to the Democratic Party Broadcast System (DPBS). The announcement comes just two weeks after PBS Chief, Ervin S. Duggan, resigned amid rumors that PBS was using the DNC's direct mailing list for donor solicitation.

PBS decided to change its name at the urging of Richard Moorehead. Moorehead is a Children's Television Producer, Gay Rights activist and creator of an upcoming 'Teletubbies' series designed to help pre-schoolers discover their homosexuality. Said Moorehead, "PBS needs to come out of the closet and stop pretending to be something that it isn't. Everyone knows that PBS has an agenda. Rather than deny it, we need to embrace it. "

At today's press conference a PBS spokeswoman said, "The new name does not reflect a new alliance to the liberal left-wing of American politics but rather affirms a camaraderie that has been there from the beginning."
