20 years ago, some stations started putting their logo in the lower right

Good term for it. Luckily most of my TV watching happens to be stuff

And then we can force-feed them cyanide, burn their remains, bury their
ashes together with highly radioactive waste and salt the ground that
spawned them. One can't be too careful.
Don't forget the cat pee and the fire ants.
Needs more more thermonuclear fire, and being launched into the sun,
