Georgia Randomly Generates Anti-Semitic License Plates

The computers at the Georgia Department of Revenue apparently haven't gotten the message that the new south is tolerant of everyone. This may go some of the way towards explaining how one man ended up with the license plate "HA8 JWZ," which we're not going to spell out for you. Of course, maybe they just hate David Berman? The local Anti Defamation League is asking for the state to stop issuing plates that begin with HA8 or H8, which isn't that bad of an idea.

Imagine if they issued plates like "HA8 AMC" or "H8 KITT" or maybe even "H8 BLOG." Clearly, these machines must stopped from spreading the H8. We want to give props to the guy who got the license plate for turning it in, as opposed to proudly displaying it on his rusty S10. [AJC]
