Plate Finish

eatthekids01

In Virginia, one format for personalized license plates has the words "KIDS FIRST" at the bottom of the plate. If I lived there, I hope I'd have been as clever as the guy who thought to request "EAT THE" on his because it's very funny. The state of Virginia apparently does not agree…and to do this, they had to decide that it was not a joke about cannibalism (which it obviously was, first and foremost) but about oral sex with children. This change of attitude is kinda funny, too. While the whole notion of having oral sex with children is obviously perverse and illegal…well, so is actually eating people of any age. Nevertheless, the plate has been revoked and will no longer adorn the clever guy's car. And apparently, somewhere in Virginia, there's an official who was cool with the joke when it was about murdering the children and devouring their body parts but decided it was unacceptable when someone pointed out that "eat" has a sexual meaning, too.
