End Of Road For GOTMILF License Plate
"Offensive" vanity tag yanked by Washington officials
JULY 21--This is the story of GOTMILF. In May 2002, Michael Syravong filed a "personalized license plate application"with Washington's Department of Licensing. GOTMILF was Syravong's first choice among the three possible personalized tags he listed on the state form (he would have settled for SUPL8EZ or RCKSTAR). Asked for the meaning of GOTMILF, Syravong wrote, "Manual Inline Lift Fluctuator," which he would later claim was some kind of automotive gizmo. The 25-year-old software engineer's license plate choice was, amazingly, approved by bureaucrats who obviously never saw the film "American Pie" and were clueless about the acronym's real meaning.
Unfortunately for Syravong, however, two offended citizens knew that the plate was actually his sly play on the Got Milk? slogan crossed with the raunchy acronym. In February, 21 months after Syravong got the personalized plate for his Toyota (pictured), an aggrieved Washingtonian e-mailed a complaint to state officials. A second beef was received in April from a disgusted Snohomish parent who did not want "my children seeing this and inquiring as to what it means." Acting on the first complaint, state officials wrote Syravong seeking his response to the complaint. Fighting to keep GOTMILF, he responded with a letter that desperately tried to explain away his license plate. Despite Syravong's invocation of Bill of Rights protections, members of Washington's Personalized Plate Review Committee were not swayed by his argument--and even hinted that he may have committed a crime (making a false or misleading statement to a public servant) when he submitted his original plate application. In April, the state review committee voted to cancel Syravong's tag. He got the bad news in an April 13 letter chiding him for providing "inconsistent information regarding the definition of the plate." Stripped of GOTMILF, Syravong was forced to replace his distinctive tag with PUNISHR. We're counting the days until a motorist writes in to complain that Syravong's new plate advocates domestic violence or has S&M undertones. (9 pages)
I didnt hear about the Moore bashing episode, but they are coming out with a new movie with puppets. The Moore puppet is covered in mustard stains.
The best risque vanity plate I've heard of is "3M TA3", which is innocuous when seen normally, but takes on new meaning when seen in someone's rear-view mirror...
As for the folks who were offended by the acronym on the "GOTMILF" plate, it sort of reminds me of the women who called the police to report someone who was "whistling dirty songs".
Mother In Law Freeper
"3M TA3" was also the jet's tail number on the cover of the Beastie Boys' first album, "Licensed to Ill".
I know someone who got DR ATSAB for people to see in their rearview mirrors.
The vid is hell-hot! Plus, Rachel is a Republican. :)
I recommend you check out the video for "Mexican Wine" while you're at it.
It's dead-sexy.
South Park has always had a libertarian-ish theme to it, though.

What no Moro Islamic Liberation Front ping?
Since YOU mentioned it, it will probably bring down the server!!!!!
You've just got to check out a couple of the photos on the thread. Hilarious!
I guess I won't try for the MRNGWUD (morning wood) license plate that I've been thinking lest I get a visit from the JBT's of the DMV.
Hey, that could be the name of a hip-hop (c)rap group 'JBTs of da' DMV'.
Have you seen Americian Pie?
LOL!!!!
"This one time, at band camp..."
bwwwaaaahhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaaa.....now that is hilarious!!!! LOL on that one! ;-) One of my husband's favorite movie lines....he's such a geek! I hold the title of MILF in his household! :-)
I once said "this one time, at bank camp" during some story telling and joking around and someone accused me of being a geek because I went to band camp. I then confirmed they never saw AP.
I should update the pictures!
pingy dingy
If you went to bank camp you -are- a geek!
bank camp sounds geekier than band camp - no matter what movies you watched
