I laughed my ass off.  I swear that there are some people who look for things to be offended by.

I admit to being picky on my plates! I like certain arrangements of letters and don't like others. If I'd been handed the one in the article I would have asked to swap but I wouldnt have called the newspapers about it.

From what we understand that woman is complaining that the last three laters stand for a offensive term.

The absurdity of it made me laugh, and I know that this woman had to have called the news station about this.  Busy bodies and people who fake being offended always amuse me.

Status: offline 		Some people are just looking for a reason to "be offended" so that they can pretend to be socially superior.  You bet she called the station so she could look politically correct.  I think they should have said, "Okay.  We'll take it back.  We'll just not allow you to license a car.  Have fun on the bus."

Funny, it seems more like "anger" to me.  I think she owes the rest of us taxpayers for the cost lost in all those plates.

I agree with slaveboy. It is absurd. What was even more absurd to me was the person who made the complaint.

Actually I did get it. I was just trying to inject a little ironic humor into the conversation ..

Like .. wouldn't it be funny if the black guy didn't understand what the well-meaning white lady was complaining about?

I kind of thought that your simple statement said it better than any of the rest of us possibly could.
