The North Carolina DMV needs to get a clue.
More than 10,000 people in the state have license plates that begin with the letters WTF.
LOL, right?
I was ROFL when I heard this. Because thanks to one little video that came about just a few years ago, those three simple letters can never be used in that order in a generic sense again. All because of some damn Australian.
A woman’s grandkids tipped her off that the license plate on the back of her sedan had deeper social context. And now, the DMV is offering free replacement of said license plates - if the drivers choose.
And…the sample license plate on North Carolina’s DMV Web site also included those first three infamous letters.
Maybe N.C. is more liberal than we originally thought…

I’m scared enough to have my 15-year-old brother on the road next year.
Lilian Cox began driving when she was 8. That was back in 1915.
Cox just renewed her license three months ago, which now expires in 2011. Now, she’s 101. By then, she’ll be 104.
She travels in her 1984 sedan DeVille. She’s had it for 28 years. I’m not sure if you’re familiar, but that’s about 101 in human years, too.
The package linked above is a little corny. For some reason, the guy can’t get over every single car cliche possible - need for speed, owning the road, etc. But at least we get to watch Lilian.
