Number plate revoked over cannibalistic connotations


A sharp-minded Virginia-based Redditor’s humorous personalized number plate has been revoked because, in combination with the text at the bottom of the plate (“Kids first”), “EATTHE” became “EAT THE KIDS FIRST”.

So long story short, while most normal-minded people thought the whole cannibalism joke was funny, a small-minded person thought that the connotations were pedo-sexual rather than cannibalistic connotations and made an anonymous complaint. Consequently, WHOWANTSBEEF has to go back to having a regular, boring number plate on his/her Mazda Miata.

Check out the Virginia DMV’s explanatory letters below.
