> For, you see, Japanese security of the NLORTSP only use MT-17–QTS which is nothing more than a pea-shooter, where as good American heroes like the YRSSJR-1 and 2 only make use of GG2M’s and RGPLL-200’s as seen in movies like AAGS and AAGS 2-The Final Battle.

If this is your attempt to caricature the unrestrained use of acronyms, it’s a pretty lousy one for a couple reasons:

1. None of those acronyms are real. Which kind of misses the point that the vast majority of the time (perhaps every time) you piss and moan about someone using an acronym, that person is at least using a real acronym with a meaning that can either be gleamed from context, or googled on similar grounds.
2. You’re _trolling_ (completely unprovoked so far a I can tell) in a breaking news thread about a political assassination. What the actual fuck?
