Hmmm, chow is easy, same with phil, sierra, sixy, jj, thursday, froggy but what do ya do with WFW&P? Something catchy.... I think this should be the mission for the night. This man needs a catchy name.
I always think of a railroad - like the Wyoming, Frisco, Westwood & Portland.
That, or "whiff-wanp".

Doesn't seem like you have to worry about that now with the Disney channel - the idealized rainbow multiculturalism and universal acceptance is easily seen, in fact it's shoved down your throat, even more so than the language, the manner of dress and the attitudes. Back in the old toons there was lots of racial division, granted - some they won't even show anymore because of how politically incorrect they are - but at least they showed familial respect and the kids didn't curse and dress like Twisted Sister.
Is he aware that it's not real? Yes I sit and watch these crazy shows with my son. And I agree some are a bit over the top. But think about it would you rather them watching slasher movies? My son needs to ok every show he watches. I let him know this too. Many times I walk by and tell him I don't like this show. He is really into the Super hero show, Ben Ten, Clone wars, Yui-gi-o, and he loves the Goonies and Charlie and the Chocolate factory new and old.
My son constantly see's on sat morning shows internet games. I told him if you need to download it or pay it's a "no,no".
Yeah he knows it's just pretend...BUT, even my husband said "have you tried that website to see what comes up?" lol
So I think just the suggestion and the fact that now he can spell words would peak his curiosity.
I don't really have any issue with slasher shows....my kids are little chickens! They watched the movie about the surfer girl that lost her arm in a shark attack and 2 of the 4 thought they were going to throw up!
