No, you can take a WTFPL work and include it in a GPL'd work without 
changing the license.

You can't, however, sue someone for violating the GPL if they use only 
the WTFPL portions of the GPL'd work, because you don't own the 
copyright, and therefore you lack both standing in the court and the 
ability to restrict others' usage of the work.
