The Department of Licensing has received several complaints regarding your license plate FDUBYA. The personalized license plate committee reviewed all the documentation and decided to cancel your plate because the message is offensive to good taste and decency.

:lol

The license plate is up for sale on ebay, now. Here's the description:

An actual government issued Anti Bush item. How rare is that?
This is an original license plate accidentally issued by the State of Washington.

I had this plate on my car for 4 months before receiving a letter from the DOL informing me that they determined my plate to be "Offensive to good taste and decency."

This is a used plate but in excellent condition. No scratches or dents. It is a one of a kind. Well, actually 2 of a kind. I'm keeping the other one. You can have either the front one pictured, or the rear plate with the actual tabs so you have proof that it is an authentic, state issued plate.

This plate has changed my life. I receive comments all day long while driving around town. Usually it's either a middle finger or a thumbs up. (My own personal "up or down" vote)

I feel like KRAMER driving around with his ASSMAN plates.

I've had people wanting their pictures taken beside the plate, had interesting conversations at gas stations, many waves and horn toots. It's been a blast.

This is the BEST George W Bush protest plate ever produced. The fact that it was made by a government agency makes it even rarer!

Starting bid of $5,000....good luck buddy

 

[DarienA]

Awesome plate!

Yeah land of the free, freedom of expression my ass. Yes I know personal freedom ends at someone elses' doorstep.. but come on... it's a goddamn license plate.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i was acutally expecting this to be the "FHUTA" license plate. Isn't it supposedly banned in Michigan?

 

[Flynn]

I get the feeling that Golden Palace isn't going to bid on this one.

It's been a while since I read this in the newspaper as a kid, but it's kind of similar. A lot of it has been lost in the memory, so there may be errors.

A person had a license plate with something innoculous in German. Someone sends in a complaint because it sounds offensive, and the DMV tells him to get rid of it. The guy fought back, but I have no clue what happened to the license plate.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

I really like that license plate. Seriously, too bad more people dont agree with what it says.....

FUCK G. W. That cunt.

 

[Lathentar]

Awesome plate!

You have to admit it is quite the distraction on the road.

You have to admit it is quite the distraction on the road.

There are bumper stickers way more distracting than this...

 

[shuri]

Come on people, it means FOR DUBYA

 

[GhaleonEB]

You have to admit it is quite the distraction on the road.

Yeah, and bumper stickers with much harsher stuff isn't. If it said "F Bubba" I guarantee it would not have been yanked.

 

[Burger]

I have no idea what a DUBYA is.

 

[Blackace]

I am so proud to have been born and raised in Washington... *wipes tear from eye*

 

[MC Safety]

Whatever. Dullard gets "racy" license plate and then attempts to cash in.

Whoopee.

 

[john tv]

He should change his real name to Frank Dubya and then file a countersuit.

 

[King Jippo]

Awesome plate!

Yeah, it's a government issued license plate. Get a fucking bumper sticker instead.

 

[videogamer]

Yeah, it's a government issued license plate.

Which is exactly why this is interesting. A privately issued item of some kind really isn't really governed by the Constitution, but by the company's policies or whatever.

 

[Macam]

There's no reason this license plate should be pulled ("F" may be implicit, but it is not profane); but then again, I also had my "F The President" bumper sticker torn off my car. Of course, that just means I need to buy a bigger one.

I'm far more insulted by a state governor signing an anti-abortion law and an anti-gay rights pledge on church property than decoding people's license plates, especially in a state where the amount of far right car propaganda can reach intoxicating levels.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I'm proud of whoever registered this plate.
