You have got to be kidding me! This is a prime example of how incredibly melodramatic people have become this day in age. It’s a freakin license plate people. It’s made up of letters and numbers put together in a sequence to create a unique identifier for vehicles. It’s not intended or should be construed as anything more.

RALEIGH, NC — Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive “WTF” letter combination can replace the tags for free.

Internet Acronyms Parents Should Know

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday the state Division of Motor Vehicles has notified nearly 10,000 holders of license plates with the letter combination.

Officials learned last year the common acronym stands for a vulgar phrase in e-mail and cell phone text messages.

The DMV recently realized the same letters appeared on the sample license plate on its own Web site. Officials are trying to remove the plate from the site.

DMV officials got word of the plates last July when a 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about the plate after her teenage grandchildren clued her in.

DMV officials said they try to keep up with the latest acronyms, and that anyone who has an issue with their plate can contact their local DMV office to request a new one.

*rolls eyes* What next? I mean c`mon folks, relax a little. Are you so uptight you have to look for things that are offensive so you have something to complain about?
