Potentially Offensive License Plate To Be Replaced For Free


RALEIGH -- 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.

<< Internet Acronyms Parents Should Know http://www.wxii12.com/slideshow/mylife/13415032/detail.html :eyes: >>

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.

13. And the plates have been around for about a year now...

I was doing a bit of reading around and WTF co-incided with the changing of the text from blue to red.

There's a few WTF plates around here in Greensboro for sure.
