Unfortunate Acronym?

Postby ThisIsNotACountry » Wed Mar 16, 2011 5:01 pm

In Issue #141: Police Too Pushy?, the name of the group of 'concerned compatriots' is called "Citizens Raging Against the Police." I have noticed that this seems to be an acronym for something:

Citizens
Raging
Against the
Police

Is this just unfortunate? Or is it the author of the issue's opinion on this made-up group's views? :eyebrow:

I find it humorous too.

I was just wondering if it was intentional or not. :?

It probably was. You could always ask Myrth if you want a 100% answer.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for anyone to notice.

IC Info: TL;DR verson of Nekronia: Authoritarian government with elements of the USSR and national socialism. Everyone works for the government, and buys from the government, obsoleting taxes as the money does not leave the country, save for government buying of items of foreign nations. Military is advanced but unconventional, focusing on infantry and psychological warfare. Primary method of national income is export of armaments and other war-related items.
