(Canada.com)   The Spanish word for devil (Diablo) is too offensive for a vanity plate but '666' is acceptable? No doubt due in large part to the huge Spanish speaking population in Saskatchewan   (canada.com) divider line 80

Cue the assorgy license plate...

My plate has 666 in it, and I didn't even request it.

I'd say the next DOL that censors a license plate is in desperate need of a cockpunch.

Anyone who gets wound up over what's on a little metal rectangle needs one.

What about D14BL0 or something like that?

What if you OWNED a Lambo Diablo, would they make you debadge it?

Once, while driving through Houston, I saw a vanity plate that said "666 CJ". Freaked me out. So, I had a beer.

Y'know if you're offended by a license plate, maybe you should just stay home and let the adults play

I have some family that live in a small town called "Montgomery" in West Virginia.

I don't know if he still lives there anymore, or still has it, but there is a doctor there that has a 666 license plate, and had it for many years.

I remember seeing and asking about it when I was a kid and we visited there.
 
2007-10-17 06:01:40 PM
If he is looking for all numbers he could get...

4 666

Maybe that would be less offensive... Since it's all numbers?

ATTENTION... Six hundred and sixty-six is just a number. It's what happens when you multiply 222 by 3. Or subtract 40 from 406. There is a 666 address on every street that's longer than 5 blocks.

It. Does. Not. Mean. Anything.

2007-10-17 08:06:22 PM
It was touched in a bit in the link gbv23 gave, but essentially 666 is a meaningless number when you examine its origins. In the roman writing system, any name could be expressed as a number. Nero Caesar, who was a real bastard, especially to Christians, of course could have his name expressed as the number 666. So the guy who wrote revelations was alive shortly after Nero's death, and of course due to his Christian hatred of Nero, he incorporated his number into his writings, and thus 666 became the number of the beast, which then became a killer Iron Maiden song.

We bought a black car this summer, and sure enough- the auto license office hands me a plate with "666" in it.

And- so what. All the furor over this stuff just means that there are a whole lot of people with too much time on their hands and hyperactive imaginations. The Book of Revelation is a fertile field for all such folk to plow.

As for what "El numero del diablo" really is, Revelation 13:18, KJV, is fairly explicit: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Well, that's 666 all righty, and you can make aaaanything out of that you want. And be my guest.

THIS. And actually, I am from that middlanwhere hell-hole. SGI deserve a whole buncha cock punches.

More than 10 years ago now they refused to give my friend's dad a plate that said "WARLOCK" for his, gee, what a shock, 1976 Dodge "Warlock" Special Edition truck (similar to the "Lil Red Express" if you know it, but black and alot more rare). Real sensible of them too, as they said it was possible morally-offensive to some people.

Christ almight, do I ever wish we had an ACLU up here to sue their asses off. And FYI, despite what the headline implies, we have ALOT of spanish speaking people here... here's one of our better Central-American/Mexican restaurants.

Every body with a police connection run these plates, a lot. Next time one of these people get pulled over and the officer sees the plates have been run a few hundred times, it will be fun.
