WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates

Posted by timothy on from the what-if-I'm-offended-by-prudery? dept.

beadfulthings writes "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."

    Is that what they call it these days?

    I actually couldn't think of an F term for that. Ha.

    Maybe.. flipper, finger, fin, fur, flag, or fig. Hmm, I think that last one works.

    Washing The Fig

    Heh.

    The French and Americans always pick on each other. It's just how things are. :)
