With the slogan “Go back to California,” a Nevada license plate went popular on Facebook and received over 80,000 likes. The Nevada DMV has now recalled the plate, though.
Some rejected plates, like BUYAGRAM and F4K3 T4XI, indicate illegal activity, while others, like SAUC3D and RAMP4GE, hint to rude or improper material.
It’s interesting to note that men are more likely to use customized plates, but not every application is approved by the review panel that determines if it’s acceptable.
This incident that went viral shows how social media can turn ordinary events into global sensations.
Thousands have been captivated by what started out as a clever license plate disguise, exhibiting creativity and comedy in unexpected ways.
At a time when the virtual and physical worlds are more entwined, these kinds of incidents underscore how erratic internet culture can be. Whether intentional or not, the person who created the notorious plate has left a lasting impression on the internet community.
