http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp_My_Ride is probably the insiration for the title. Interestingly, the Wikipedia article lists no controversies about their use of that title (only legal threats by Viacom against other businesses using the "Pimp my..." slogan).

Just to make sure, this isn't an attempt by someone who was involved in a GIMP name discussion to gather some leverage through the back door?
