Seriously?

I can't work out whether to support his claim or call him a doosh for wanting the number plate in the first place...?

I think personalised number plates are a waste of money and reflect poorly on the individual wanting it. HOWEVER it is their right to do so, and i would back him for the simple principle of freedom of expression. I would also allow a nazi or kkk clan member to do the same... it is their right. As long as the slogan isn't inflammatory and incite violence. That is only when freedom of expression should be denied.

The man down the end of my street has finally changed his number plate which I assume he purchased on an impulse before I moved here 20 years ago. It was FONZIE.

I would suggest that the next person to get a personalised plate should have it as: "WNK3R", "TOOL" or possibly "DICKHD"

I checked Herpes at the RTA once and it was still available - although not any more... Actually, there a gay guy in sydney with a plate that says BIGOT... which I think is quite weird.

Perhaps the owner's initials are O.T.?

This is just plain silly, even for America, 2010.
They have a Constitution ensuring *freedom of speech* but this happens.
Sure, number plates are not a form of speech, but expression, but you get my drift.

Perhaps he should take the LA out of Oklahoma and move there.
