So we all know that TWOP fostered(fosters) an amazing amount of virulent Spike hate in the BtVS forum and has for years upon years upon years. I don't bother with the TWOP BtVS/AtS boards ~~because crazies post there~~ but I do hang out on a couple of other threads on TWOP. Anyway, it never fails to cheer me up and make me giggle when some errant TWOP poster gets their panties in a twist because "All My Children's" Kendal Hart (yes, the character once played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) named her son "Spike". There are a few who have been bitching for months now that they need to give that baby a real name (and bitching that it brings up memories of BtVS Spike.) And now they're bitching because there's some kerfuffle somewhere going on that "Spike's" real (baby) name is (or may be, or is suggested to be. I don't know the details) ... you guessed it -- William.

I've stopped watching AMC months ago because it's just so damn boring, so I don't know if "Kendal" ever has changed the name of the kid from Spike (I was under the impression that the baby's "real" name is Spike. So I'm not sure what generated the whole thing about William. But, while surfing, I ran across a TWOP/AMC poster bitching about the tiny tot being named "Spike" and how that would be totally compounded and even WORSE if they also name the kid William.

I laughed and laughed.
