The members of B5 have announced that they are changing their name.
They issued this statement:
"We, B5, have decided to change our name for two reasons:
1) One of us has left to try to get a job working in science fiction, perhaps for the Babylon Five show some confuse our name with. With him gone, our new name would have to be B4 and that just sounds odd. B4 = Before? Before what?
2) After the bruhaha at our mall show we decided to try a different audience so we played a church bingo event.
Boy, were we embarrassed when they called out B5 as a bingo answer and we thought it was our cue to perform.
We realized our name was a bingo answer and that is just wrong.
So we are asking our fans - including those of you devoted worshippers of us at Blogcritics - to help us choose our new names."

How about The Artists Formerly Known As B5, or just The Artists? Then they could be the Prince of boy bands.

Nobody's using "Boyzone" anymore, and we've got truckloads of T-shirts that have just been gathering dust since 1999...
We could stick an extra 5 on there, no prob.
Check out our link; we also have great Take That! T-shirts, some tees with a curly haired dude named just "Justin", and all the Hanson sun-visors you can shake a stick at.
We even have a T of that kid who wore glasses, you know the one I mean, right?

Or perhaps The B-Cuz
I do like the ring of Ninja Turtles, or The Transformers...

B5 has a big risk, what if they are no longer boys, or no longer 5? They need to have a distinctive name.
How about CheXMary?
12 - uao
Heck, why not? It's catchy, that's for sure.
Thry that one on, kiddies...

Matthew, consider this an experiment.
15 - Scott Butki
Yes, this was satire and yes I knew I'd get B5 fans freaked out and upset and I didn't see that as a bad thing
16 - uao
Who freaked out, Scott?
17 - Scott Butki
Ok, not freaked out - just bothered.
