It looks like you have some remedial video watching to do this weekend.

Google it. The ‘reactions’ are mostly SFW, but the actual video, if you come across it isn’t SFW. Not even a little bit.

Mostly SFW [wiki link.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_girls_1_cup). ‘Mostly’ in that anything NSFW is in writing, no video, no pictures, no sound.

Not safe for lunch, either, from what I’ve heard.

I haven’t actually seen the video, but I’ve heard enough about it to know (a) I don’t want to, and (b) it’s not the sort of thing you’d expect to be allowed on a license plate.

DD claims she was this about a week ago: NVW\*55V

We were all in the car and she told me to drive closer to the car in question so she could get a second look, but it got away from us.

She said it was ASS\*MAN, from Sienfeld, upside down.

I believe I have posted this one before, but [this](http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenner116/207042797/sizes/l/) is the funniest plate I’ve ever seen. It was about 3 years ago on I-95, probably in northern Virginia. I can see how 2GRL 1CP got through, but this one was incredibly obvious (and hilarious!). It was passing us at a pretty good speed, so I was lucky to get such a clear shot.

I’m not surprised the 2GRL 1CP got through; after all, aren’t they mostly just run through a database and then one person gives it a look? We can’t really expect the DMV to be up on every internet meme. I’ll bet they yank it once they start getting complaints, though.

I was once at a stoplight behind a white muscle car with the New York plate: GOMBA JOE.

Complete tangent, but this reminds me of something from TV the other night that got me in a tizzy. I was watching Brothers & Sisters (I know, that was my first mistake) and it had Rebecca commenting on her dad’s photography:

“Which freeway is this?”  
“They’re called highways in the East. It’s the 95 South…”

Um, we don’t call it **the** 95 either! :smack:

Anyhoo, my most memorable license plate was on a fancy car that just missed hitting me in Times Square: RIP GDG

GDG being my initials. :eek:

I recently saw an Illinois plate that read W T F. No preceding or following digits – those three characters constituted the entire “number”.

OMG, I have this exact complaint about an episode of _The X-Files_. Don’t remember which, but I’m pretty sure it’s Scully (I believe a well-established East Coast native character) who refers to that big interstate that goes up the coast as “the I-95.”

No! No! No!

A youtube search for “kermit the frog two girls reaction” will reward you with a hilarious NSFW (but not gross) reaction video…

The other day I saw a powder pink Cadillac Coupe DeVille with “Zoloft” on it’s vanity plate.
