Good for her.

Some people have way too much time on their hands if they are copmlaining about that...

I hope she wins on this one. It's just such a freaking waste of time/money/etc to process this complaint when on the face of it the plate itself is not offensive (it's not a curse in and of itself nor an abbreviation for anything bad/sexual/what-have-you). It's just a personal expression.

If the owner was smarter, she should have said that the plate is a tribute to a friend named John who was born on March 16th.

I wonder if I can take the complainant to court because she has some physical characteristic that is objectionable (like she wears a miter or other overtly religious garb out in public).

I just don't get it.... So what if you don't 'like' the plate. Is it offensive? Hardly....

I could see some folks having problems with the one below. Again I don't mind it - I think it's humorous actually.....
Note - It's also a Washington plate. So.... ???

Someone complained about that? Like advance warning of weirdos is a bad thing.

If someone had a plate that said LUV 666, I'd think that was a weirdo, too. Same with the guy who holds up those signs at football games. I think it should be legal for her to have that plate, and I think she's a weirdo for having it.
