If the way to summon Beetlejuice is to say his name three times fast,
everyone within earshot will learn how to summon Beetlejuice every
time you do it. Understanding that problem should be as easy as
understanding the concept of the powerful name.

Pretty soon, every kid shopping at Hot Topic will know how to make
Beetlejuice cross over into the mortal realm, and they'll do it all
the time, and Beetlejuice is going to get really annoyed. I mean,
imagine if you had to jump at the whim of every emo kid in every mall!
It would get to be a real pain in the astral.
