SEPTEMBER 23--Even a casual visitor to this joint knows that TSG has a weakness for the voice of the people--especially when expressed through complaint letters to governmental agencies. Below you'll find some entertaining back-and-forth correspondence from Washington State's Department of Licensing regarding supposedly offensive automobile tags. Along with initial complaint letters, you'll find responses from the plate holder as well as the state's decision re: possible revocation. Watch as adults tussle over tags like STROKIN, LIL PMP, and FOZZHOG. As an added bonus, we've included an amusing two-page list of disallowed plates compiled by Washington bureaucrats. While the list has not been updated recently, it's good to see that PU55Y, IB6UB9, and RTAEYSP did not slip by bureaucratic censors. (20 pages)
