Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive "WTF" letter combination can replace the tags for free.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday the state
Division of Motor Vehicles has notified nearly 10,000 holders of
license plates with the letter combination. Officials learned last
year the common acronym stands for a vulgar phrase in e-mail and
cell phone text messages.
The DMV recently realized the same letters appeared on the
sample license plate on its own Web site. Officials are trying to
remove the plate from the site.
DMV officials got word of the plates last July when a
60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about
the plate after her teenage grandchildren clued her in.

Quite honestly seeing what I have to choose from for presidency, I will NOT be voting. Neither one are fit to rule the country and I am ashamed of the people who voted for them. I am ashamed that people would not take the time and really learn what their fellow politicians are about and just go vote for whom they think will be good based on the majority votes. I am also ashamed that anyone would vote for someone who does not support the fair tax. (www.fairtax.org)
