Vanity Plates Should Be Called Idiot Plates

I went through a 2-3 week period where I was completely obsessed with vanity plates. In Hanover, it sometimes seems that every idiot on the street has a vanity plate. So I did some research and published my results.

I think vanity plates are only appropriate when they reflect true vanity.

My father’s vanity plates are perfect examples of this. He owned a minor league baseball team called the Bridgeport Bluefish; he had a license plate that read “BFISH1.” And it was on a fancy blue convertible. I’m not boasting here, I’m just saying that if you own a baseball team, you deserve a vanity plate.

But most people don’t own baseball teams. Most people don’t have much to be vain about. Most people have incredibly stupid vanity plates.

Exhibit A. This moron is so proud of his HONDA that he ordered up a vanity plate for it. I think the picture speaks for itself.

HonDuh Idiot Plate

Has anyone seen any other Idiot Plates out there?

    The Eleni vanity plate hanging in my bedroom is the best. I believe Mom and Dad originally had this on one their cars shortly after I was born. I disagree that all vanity plates should be called idiot plates. I think it depends what it wriiten on them. You may be so moved by your first child that you end up with a vanity plate with their name. Only time will tell.
