Infomercials as Specials

All the Adult Swim's Infomercials are considered as TV specials, despite they're in short-form, but this isn't important because a TV special "in general" doesn't have a precise running time. Here are some Web links to some titles that confirm them (some also confirmed by their "creators or staff members"):

Move

I believe the current title is too ambiguous and too easily confused with infomercial. I propose a move to either Infomercials (Adult Swim) or Infomercials (Adult Swim specials) to properly establish the subject as a satirical creative work rather than actual paid programming.
