The state of California has rules and regulations to make sure that personalized license plates are not issued that would offend anyone – but occasionally one sneaks through.
Case in point, a license plate spotted by a KPIX 5 TV reporter in San Jose in Vietnamese that (even though slightly misspelled) translates to “F**k Your Mother”.
When confronted, the driver of the car hilariously proclaims that it is “an innocent phrase” meant to say “I love your mother” – which is totally believable.
Because they like angering strangers out and about, the KPIX 5 crew than went around showing a picture of the offensive license plate to random people on the streets of San Jose (which has a large Vietnamese population) – who were either appalled or thought it was hilarious.
Officials were alerted and the state is now in the process of recalling the license plate.
