News Christ's head on a plate
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 3:57 PM
Remember when your license plate choices were limited to plain or with extra wildlife? Nowadays, of course, Georgia offers dozens of specialty license plates. Your options range from plates identifying you as a Former POW or Korean War Coast Guard Veteran, to plates recognizing Stroke Awareness and Brain-Related Disorders, to plates celebrating Beautification Projects in Cobb County and Municipal Clerks of Georgia. Honestly?
Then there are the plates that signal, through carefully chosen buzz phrases, the driver's apparent political leanings and/or social outlook. These include AIDS Survival Project, Support Our Troops and the infamous Choose Life, as well as the subtle Thanks Mom and Dad (presumably for not aborting your ass).
But Georgia is surprisingly restrained when compared to Florida, whose legislature just approved a vanity plate for morbid Christians. Behold:
Can anyone explain why Jesus is gray, like he's been dead for several days? I'd love to see a judge rule that, in order to ensure fairness to all religions, the state would have to issue a commemorative plate for the Church of Satan.
