New Jersey Woman No Longer Riding Bitch


Woman's 'bioch' licence plate recalled
By QMI Agency

A woman in New Jersey is aghast that after four years her vanity licence plates are being recalled for being "objectionable."

Since 2006, Kim Romano has driven a blue convertible with bright yellow New Jersey licence plates with the word "bioch."

In her small town of Manville, the plates became her calling card, she told local news site NJ.com.

But on May 5 she received a letter from the Motor Vehicle Commission's special plate unit notifying her that they want the plates back.

"The commission, in processing your request, erred and assigned a combination which is considered objectionable," the letter says. "The commission has no alternative but to immediately recall the licence plate 'bioch'."

And Romano has little choice but to comply. Unless she returns the plates, she will not be allowed to renew her registration.

So her new plates "whaever" are expected to arrive soon.

While I disagree with New Jersey's censorship of liscense plates, the thing that struck me most about this story was how much this woman must hate the letter 't.' I was a bit confused when I saw she cut it out of the word 'biotch' but I was even more suprised when she decided to cut it out of her new plates 'whaever.' Maybe someone burned a lower case 't' in her yard one time to tell her it was time to go away. Or maybe she missed that episode of 'Sesame Street.' It's New Jersey. I don't know why I'm overthinking this.
