Have people seen this? Florida Reveals Tasteful New License Plate
Who’s classy now? Florida, again, as always! Here’s the new “vanity plate,” featuring America’s favorite (?) Christian star, Dead Jesus Hanging Off a License Plate With an Orange Behind His Head. This is gonna look sweet with a brass pair of Truck Nutz swingin’ down below.
eta: It's a vanity plate.
eta²: From another blog:
The Florida legislature has approved the sale of a Jesus Christ vanity license plate. When asked about the apparent lack of separation of church and state, Gov. Charlie Crist said, 'If they don’t want one they don’t have to buy one.'
Aren't there roughly eighty billion things people can put on their license plates these days?
Oh, and my niece has discovered Buffy and it is her favorite show. We had the BEST time geeking out over it.
That's fantastic. I can't wait til my niece is old enough for that. (She's two, so it's going to be a while yet.)
That sounds great, all things considered, Scrappy.

Is the design from the state or is it from a private group that pays the state to make the plate available? I don't really think there's an issue if the latter is the case as long as it is treated like any other vanity plate design.
There's a lawsuit happening now about Illinois' refusal to issue "Choose Life" plates. It'll be interesting to see what the verdict will be.
Okay, step one. I think the dog is afraid of the tile floor.
oh poor goggie. I've seen tile-floor fear on Dog Whisperer. Cesar almost didn't have the strength to force a great dane across an apartment lobby. But they all got over it eventually.
The money that you pay for the plates goes as a donation to the organization behind it in the state of florida. They also have "Choose Life", "Family First", and "Family Values" plates all of which direct money to conservative Christian groups. It does raise some questions about separation of church and state. They have to go through a state approval process before they plates and donations are set up for purchase through the DMV. Really the question is have non-christian groups had any issues getting their donations/plates approved in the state of Florida.
