This is 100% true...you just couldn't make this stuff up!
The Wisconsin Tourism Federation was forced to change their name to The Tourism Federation of Wisconsin.
Their logo has also been changed from WTF to TFW.
All of this was prompted after blogs began poking fun at their logo.
I find that funny, 
but sad,=( at the same time!

WTF!! 
I heard a report of that on a classic rock station on the way into work yesterday Bill and it really made me laugh. Apparently, the people assiociated wtih the group didn't realize that "WTF" stood for something else in current day.
But hey der Bill, weez nutin' but old farm boys up here in deez dar hills and weez doesn't know all dat new fangled do internet abbre....'er......abbyre.....'er.......lettes dat stand for utter stuff, ya know hey?
Oops, Bessie is callins me out da back, time to milk her again. WTF!

I reckon they've missed a trick. Good marketing men would have died for the publicity and turned the thing on its head into something mega positive. I mean, if they're talking aboutcha, they'll know more aboutcha.
For the Tourist Board it should be a dream come true. I can't believe they've caved over it. You get people to stop laughing at you but with you. You could sell a billion bumper stickers 'I luv Wisconsin - ***!'
Or maybe I'm just being silly..............

NOT SILLY...listened to the wrong people and acted all proper and &*^%...
We ARE WTF, folks and we were the first. Come and see for yourselves. 
I heard this on the radio in the morning going to work....I'm sorry Roy and all you Wisconsonites, but I "LOL" bout this misfortune
TTYL,
Shreddy
Pretty sure that just the other day I saw a band called WTF on some schedule somewhere. I just now googled it and came up with quite a few bands around the world by that name. One is a funk band in London called What The Funk... clever, I like that.

Wy tanks der Bill, yous boys down der in dat Flatland ain't so bad after all.....but geez, da Bears still suck!
Sorry Bill, I just couldn't hep myself. But I sort of agree with Mike and BJJ. The DJ's on the radio program while making fun of the abreviation, started to come up with some very good ideas. Then I sat at work and thought about it and they could have used it to their advantage. Such as:
Why visit anywhere else, when Wisconsin has it all! WTF?
or
Come and drop a line in one of Wisconsin's 14,927 lakes and just say......WTF!
Then in real small letters next to the "WTF", they could list "Wisconsin Travel Federation".
Personally, I think it would have been pretty catchy and they would have received a huge amount of free press on it.
Oh well, WTF!

I wanted to name my band Whisky Tango Foxtrot... because it was WTF - I thought it'd be marketable. However a quick MySpace search reveals that dozens already exist.
