When I first heard the name ISIS used on the news in reference to the terrorist group I will admit my first reference point was the Egyptian goddess. A few beats later the thought did cross my mind that "well this should be interesting re: upcoming seasons of Archer".

I guess in today's world of low-information idiots it probably makes sense for the producers to go down the road they chose. If they had kept the name the FOX News morons would have had a field day.

1. I was wondering when this would happen.

The story line was shifting anyway so I don't think it's a big deal.

2. I'm *almost* surprised they didn't keep it

and write confusion about the name into the story line.

3. If the creators are now concerned about good taste...

I assume that the show is headed for the land of suck.

4. Damn, i was seriously hoping for an Isis - ISIS showdown.

Oh well, we can dream, can't we?

5. Maybe they could have handled it like Simpsons did NAMBLA

6. In the early 80s tv series "The Greatest American Hero"

the main character's last name was Hinckley at first. After John Hinckley tried to kill president Reagan, the character's name was changed to Hanley.
