I watch with puzzlement as state after state, each facing their own serious problems ranging from not enough water to way too much water to unfair gerrymandering to crime on the rampage, worry themselves over the all-important issue of "offensive" vanity license tag messages.

ITEM: 👉 In Nevada, where it's been too hot to even walk around and count Wayne Newton's facelifts, they are trying to revoke some guy's tag because it was "meant to drive away Californians."

Nevada tag  GOBK2CA (“Go back to California”) was recalled by the state's Department of Motor Vehicles in May because they got a complaint about it. One complaint. 

Oh, how offensive.

Now the owner of the tag has appealed the recall and wants his day in DMV court. The state will cite of the Nevada Administrative Code, which prohibits defamatory references to a person or group.

“In this case, the defamed group is Californians,” DMV spokesperson Eli Rohl says, adding that his department “regularly” turns down license plates that tell Californians to hit the return key.

Every Monday, a duly-appointed Special License Committee meets to determine the face of reported license plates, because there is clearly nothing more important out there.

F'instance, they recently turned down U IDIOT as being too rude to idiots, GGGGGGG for who knows why, and a lot of subtle profanities that, if anything, might give someone a laugh as they bake alive in their cars out there.

Every Maryland motorist who has even just about been blown off the face of the earth on I-95 knows for sure that it was either a Delaware or New Jersey driver at the wheel. We don't use license tags to share our feelings with them, though. Just a simple hand gesture will do.
