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)

Ok, please help this ignorant person out. I know what MILF is associated with, but still have no idea what it stands for.

Can someone please explain to me what each word is?

HANNITY: I can’t believe what I am hearing Susan. You called for Clarence Thomas to be kept off the Supreme Court because he allegedly used dirty words, now you have no problem with a president who rapes?

ESTRICH: Sean, first of all, let me state that I do not support rape. You know, I was a rape victim myself.

LEVIN: (muttering) That was an act of mercy.

ESTRICH: What did you say, Mark!?

LEVIN: I said, “I have a house in Jersey.”

ESTRICH: Oh. Sean, as I was saying, I don’t support rape. It’s just that we need to move on. Where is this going? The president, in response to this never ending barrage of trumped up charges, has already self-pardoned himself for all crimes, now and in the future. The American people unequivocally support that self-pardon.

HANNITY: Susan, that self-pardon is perhaps the most illegal and astonishing act committed by a guy who never stops astonishing me. What will we use to control his behavior, if that is allowed to stand?

ESTRICH: You on the right wing are always trying to control other people’s behavior. He has apologized and offered Tipper a position in his cabinet to make up for his admittedly boorish behavior. Isn’t that enough?

HANNITY: No it is not! How can you call him contrite? He just put new vanity plates on the presidential limo. They read 6UL-DV8!! This man is extremely unbalanced. Does he think that joke is funny?

ESTRICH: Oh please, Sean. You really need to loosen up a little.

HANNITY: It gets stranger everyday, America…we need to take a break.
