Going too far. It's not like she has a license plate that says, "IH8NGRS" on it. :rolleyes:

Going too far.  Ohio recently banned people from using "H8" on plates which I understand (like "IH8Fords", "IH8U"), but this goes too far.  There was a woman two years ago in Ohio who went to court to fight to get "Hooker" on her plate.  I think she won because her last name really was Hooker and the courts ruled that it wasn't offensive.

Well, it seems like it went too far on the surface. There may be some merit to this rule though.

Who is the arbiter of which ethnic description is ok and which is not? Do we want to set up another government office specifically to determin this? It is possible to have a word that is not demeaning to some, but very demeaning to others of the same ethnic group.

How about this one?

They just had a DMV decision in Florida revoking a man's vanity license plate of 16 years because it said "athiest".

These are pretty funny - from the Smoking Gun:

New York

Wisconsin

Washington  - these are some of the best.  CNLNGS apparently means 'Chemical/Nuclear Lungs'.  Who'd've thunk it. ;)
