HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — A Canadian provincial government has withdrawn a man's eponymous personalized vehicle license plate, saying Lorne Grabher's surname is offensive to women when viewed on his car bumper.

Grabher said Friday that he put his last name on the license plate decades ago as a gift for his late father's birthday, and says the province's refusal to renew the plate late last year is unfair.

I predict it won’t be much longer before someone somewhere will be offended by a standard license plate number such as 3KDF4135.

My buddy in Ohio was refused GATA on his plate. Something about Georgia Southern football but it also has a spanish meaning about screwing women apparently...

How many times can this be posted before the typical reader has it all memorized?

They’d probably think Pussyhat 123 was just fine. I find that very offensive, and I demand my rights.

Actually, they are considering making it a holiday in Illinois.

In 2010, I posted this headline to FR not even thinking about the last two names as anything funny until someone pointed it out:

I’m guessing “LUV SATN” or “ALLAHU” would be fine, though.
