MPG. It's an acronym. Well, not technically, but close enough.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not really that close. It's an initialism. Which leaves one with little or no style guidelines--initials are the case of the original words, except when they're not.
Style guide!
(I'm imagining a Buffista style guide. What a lengthy and internally inconsistent thing that would be)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Plus, random pictures of women in corsets. For no particular reason.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hell, they're a less divisive topic than the

So anyway, school's over. I have to go in today to finish cleaning out my room and turn in my keys (donwanna!) and then... I'm done with that school. Freaky.

har. I only meant it in the sense that everyone calls those sorts of things acronyms, but they're not, and I couldn't remember initialism.

Why does anyone trust the Girls Gone Wild guy anymore?
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Two Florida women have sued "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis and his film company, alleging a sexually explicit video was released without their consent.
In the federal lawsuit filed Monday in Panama City, Brooke Pastolic and Christina Brose said they were enticed to board a "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus with the promise of free clothing. Once onboard, they allegedly were given alcoholic drinks even though both were younger than 21.
According to the lawsuit, the cameramen then coerced the women into exposing themselves and engaging in sexual activities, but repeatedly stated they would not use footage in a video. However, the footage appeared on two separate "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs.
The women claim the footage was used without their consent, and if they did give consent, it was obtained illegally by "Girls Gone Wild" representatives giving them alcohol.
...
"Girls Gone Wild" crews don't serve alcohol on their tour buses and ask women for identification to verify their age, Michael Burke, attorney for Francis' Mantra Films Inc., told The News Herald.
Francis, 34, remains in a Nevada jail on federal tax evasion charges. He was granted bail after pleading not guilty in that case, but stayed in jail to avoid the possibility of being sent to Florida to be arrested on charges of possessing contraband and drugs while in the Bay County Jail in May.
He is also charged in Florida with using minors in sexual performances, conspiring to use minors in sexual performances and prostitution.
Dude might be spending a fair amount of time in jail....

Whoa, that optical illusion is weird. Things not there appearing I can understand, but things that are there disappearing is wild.
I've seen both MPG and mpg, I am no help.

Thrive to spite them
I think the inicidents that the women are suing over happened before most of Joe Francis's legal troubles. I'm amused that he's in jail when he could be out on bail. But that won't keep him from being charged in Florida right? They can still charge him and work out extradition or something?
