A controversial license plate? Shocking!

IB6UB9.

This is license plate that Robert Anaya is not allowed to have any longer in the state of New Mexico. The state’s DMV has issued him a notice, citing that the plate is obscene and is being revoked. This will not stand for Anaya, who feels that an inside joke — not an obscene sexual reference — from a friend at a casino has turned into an issue of the government taking away our constitutional rights.

Maybe it’s because of the early time of writing this post, but the Guys keep looking at the plate and we just don’t get it. It’s …

……. oh. Ohhhhhhh. Gotcha.

Night of the Douchey Dead

Alright, people of the Internet. We’ve called this meeting because it’s time for us to settle once and for all what zombies are. We believe we can all agree that, technically:

1. A person who eats faces, but is not dead, is a cannibal. [NOT A ZOMBIE]

2. A person who cuts out their own guts and throws them at the police, but again is not dead, is one of the Gang of Four. [NOT A ZOMBIE]

3. A person who hits someone with their car and then zaps them with a stun gun, but is not only not dead, but also arrested, is [NOT A ZOMBIE], no matter what their vanity license plate may claim.

Glad we could settle this. Rage on.

Perhaps this case goes all the way to the high court?

Frank Shoemaker, a Nebraskan attorney, really wants his state to legalize marijuana. Frank’s sponsored a petition drive to make legalization a state ballot issue. But, when he tried to take his message to the streets with a vanity license plate, the DMV refused, and now he’s fighting The Man (who is a woman named Beverly Neth) in court.

All Frank wanted was a license plate that said, “NE 420,” but Neth wouldn’t give it to him. She believes the plate could mean anything, from “Adolf Hitler, who was born on April 20, 1889” to “the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which took place on April 20, 1999.” Or, as Neth initially said, it could be about promoting marijuana use, an illegal drug in the state … unless:

  • Unless Frank Shoemaker gets his license plate …
  • And enough petition signatures …
  • And enough votes to pass his ballot measure.

What the DMV’s saying is: it’s a slippery slope.
