Former Los Alamos security chief Robert S. Vrooman says he?s tired of hearing about the Wen that got away.

Shortly before his show's post-Super Bowl debut last January, MacFarlane was contacted by his former headmaster, the Rev. Richardson Schell. The principal asked MacFarlane to change the last name he had bestowed on his buffoonish cartoon clan, as it was also the surname of Schell's longtime assistant. MacFarlane refused. Schell got epistolary. With homemade letterhead boasting the name Proud Sponsors USA, he wrote advertisers decrying the show's subversive content...
