Surely it doesn’t?

It doesn’t does it? Nah, couldn’t be. But on a German car driving past a Becks sign, you need to be ultra careful about your personalised plates. By Turf. Where’s Bag O’ Turnips these days? I want to confirm that there have been 6 million BMWs sold in Perth.

        I’m actually not sure. On the one hand, the Constitution protects freedom of speech up to and including holocaust deniers. On the other hand US license plates come under Federal jurisdiction and are therefore seen as an official “statement” on the part of the US Government. I believe racist and obscene “messages” in license plates are illegal, as they would be seen as discriminatory. We also don’t have profanity-laden bumper stickers of the “fuck a pig” sort I have seen on this site, although I’m not sure they’re illegal per se. Might just be squeamishness on the part of manufacturers.

        I have to say that this is the first thing here that has actually given me pause. I assume Perth doesn’t have a very large Jewish population.

          Not a particularly large proportion, as I understand it. There is a bit of a community here, as you might expect (I understand the road layout is meant to resemble the menorah candle, but my knowledge is very limited indeed).

                The NIMBY’s here are appalling. The aged care zone fronting Alexander Drive should be fucking high density R200+, not this bullshit R40-R80 crap they (Stirling, Planning) are foisting here.
                Most of the Menora Heritage zone is R5!
                Three kilometres to the CBD, high frequency bus routes, tram route up the Boulevarde of Broken Worsts. SuperTAFE, WAAPA. And the residents fucking whinge about old folks and car traffic.

                Most development in the ‘Orbeahood’ consists of purchasing a 3×1 on 1000m2, bringing in the backhoe, demolishing the nicely proportioned California bungalow and building a 600m2 floor area McMansion from fence line to fence line, bit of turf, perchance a pool, and a couple of SUV’s in the driveway/double front garage.

        I checked around and it seems that the State motor vehicle bureaus review all license plates and will not approve obscene or racist messages–although evidently they do slip through. Someone in Hampton, VA, had a license plate that read ZYCLONB–the gas used by Nazis in the extermination camps. The plate was revoked when complaints came in. I can only assume they thought it was a Battlestar Gallactica reference. There was also a PERTWANG that got through in western New York.

    Is there anything else the plate could say? Or is consensus that this is infact an intentionally offensive plate. I wonder how many permutations before it were submitted and rejected.

      The video shows a dark, mistiy area in front somewhat of a empty abonned church as the doors start to slowly squeek in openning. As the camera slowly enters the church, we see Nightmare nealing on the ground looking up to a huge TX symbol thats burning on fire while he is surrond even more flames.” sic
