10,000 License Plates containging 'WTF' Replaced

[BlackKnight]

"In light of recent discussions about the Internet habits of the older generation, it's comforting to know that in North Carolina, up to 10,000 license plates containing the potentially offensive 3-letter WTF combination will be replaced by the Motor Vehicles division at no cost — if the owner of the vehicle finds the plates offensive. As reported on Winston-Salem's television station WXII, the MVD was alerted to the problem by an irate 60-year-old technology teacher who'd been clued in by her grandchildren. The article includes a helpful slide show of twenty Internet acronyms every parent should know. The article doesn't include any information on how you could actually apply for a WTF license plate."

Some people get offended at the slightest thing...

 

if they don't like the number plate don't look at it, sheesh

People are supposed to be focusing on the rode and not on someone else's tag.

i think it's more like, i randomly get a license with WTF on on it, and i don't want to offend anyone that knows what wtf mean. but the fact that it's free is just stupid.

That's the thing. People THINK that somebody MIGHT get offended by something, when in fact most of the time nobody gives a rats.

I would love plates with WTF on it!

The world sucks because everyone gets offended from everything.

True story: As a gift to their boss, two secretaries at a gynecologist's office got him a custom license plate that said 2ATD0C, intended to be read as "Twat Doc." It passed the DMV's standards, but the guy got ticketed by some irate cop who couldn't handle it and he was ordered by a court of law to change it.

 

Some people just can't take a little innuendo.
