Random Wordplay for Wednesday 2/17/10

Xfinity.

Used in a multiple choice exercise: "Xfinity is A) the new catchphrase for Buzz Lightyear to utter in Toy Story 3D (coming soon to a theater near you) -- to "xfinity and beyond" OR B) the name of a new TV pay-for-view channel playing an endless loop of porn/x-rated material OR C) the design plan for Lady Gaga's next far-out-fit, placing an X through the Lemniscate of Bernoulli image that represents infinity (I didn't know that symbol had a name before -- and it's one of my tattoos!) OR D) a cable company's misguided efforts to shake off horrific customer service reviews by simply renaming itself in major markets OR E) the latest shade of lipstick for your pigs."

Trick question -- because I would argue that D and E are both correct.
