Last year I saw a story about tourism in Wisconsin. It seems for years there was an organization called the Wisconsin Tourism Federation. Of course, if you're a fan of Internet/text/Twitter acronyms - you will have already noticed their initials spell out WTF. After much thought, they have changed it to the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin. A number of folks on BoingBoing.com said they should have left it as it was - they could have made a fortune on T-shirts and other souvenir items.
Today, I saw another organization whose initials have been overtaken by the same acronym. In large letters on a pickup truck was NWTF. My initial reaction (pun intended) was WTF? It turns out the initials belong to the National Wild Turkey Federation. I didn't get a chance to ask if they plan on changing their organization's name or if they will leave it as is.
