License plate recalls in CA future?

[Gromit]

Lionel just forwarded me this news story from North Carolina....

RALEIGH -- Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive "WTF" letter combination can replace the tags for free.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday the state Division of Motor Vehicles has notified nearly 10,000 holders of license plates with the letter combination.
Officials learned last year the common acronym stands for a vulgar phrase in e-mail and cell phone text messages.

The DMV recently realized the same letters appeared on the sample license plate on its own Web site. Officials are trying to remove the plate from the site.

DMV officials got word of the plates last July when a 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about the plate after her teenage grandchildren clued her in.


DMV officials said they try to keep up with the latest acronyms, and that anyone who has an issue with their plate can contact their local DMV office to request a new one.

What a waste of tax payer money. next they will ban the letter F, too offensive. S should go too. Maybe C and D too. Then theres ....

Would a suitable replacement be WTH? I mean Hell used to be a bad word, right?

When are we going to cut to the chase and ban the alphabet?

That thing is just 26 examples of pure filth, and it serves no purpose but to pervert our youth and keep them from accepting Jesus.

[SETHZILLA!]

jesus is a 4 letter word. I vote we have him removed from speech.

[Rotten]

Crap! I just realized I forgot to accept Jesus as a youth. No wonder I'm so fucked up.


Ah well. Too late now...

[SETHZILLA!]

Hallelujah Rotten!

Just as long as they don't let GAY on a plate, or GAYS, or FAG, HOMO......wait is this the public section?

We love our gay and lesbian friends, just not in the homosexual way(speaking for myself).

If your new to this forum dont take offense to the gay jokes. We are very gay, at least in the derogatory way....want ever that is. We love our gay and lesbian friends, just not in the homosexual way(speaking for myself). But go ahead and take offense to the Jesus jokes, i'll take a fag over jesus any day, ... but would prefer a lesbian.

Geez Ted. Way to offend almost half the free world with just a few sentences. I think you should start your own h8r website.

How about www.ihatejesusandmybeliefsarebetterthanyours.net

Are you insinuating that every living species on the planet alive today didn't live within walking distance of Noah's house?
