Think I’m exaggerating? Maybe I am. But the state DMV’s online personalized license plate generator sure has some issues with the Chosen People.
Despite providing a variety of plate categories — military, university, special interest — and the ability to type in whatever you’d like on your license plate, Virginia won’t let me type in the word Jew.
Or Arjewtino. Or Arjwtino. Or Jewcy.
Of course, being the resourceful blogger that I am, I found a way around the commonwealth’s fascist automobile identification system:

Try your own. If you create one, send it to me at as a jpg and I’ll post it here.
If anyone is having trouble converting your plates to jpg or gif files, e-mail me and tell me what category you chose and what the plate says and I’ll make it for you.
Thanks to Foxymoron for the link.

even if they let you put “jew” in it you still couldn’t have arjewtino because its 9 letters and the most you can have is 7.
Certain categories allow for more characters than others.
oooh that was fun. First I tried “phucku” and apparrently that was not allowed. But “yphucu” (why, fuck you!) easily went through.
Go ahead and send it:
Virginia: The land of the vanity plate. At least they can be proud of something.
Well, something besides I-66 (which they are already clearly proud of) because he’s just so damn crafty. CRAFTY!
Yup, he’s a clever one, that former blogger.
I’m still blogging!
These plates are cool, but they have nothing on the best plate ever that actually exists.
That’s why it wasn’t available!
Best. Post. Ever.
My colleagues at the meeting I’m attending are wondering why I’m snorting here at the cyber cafe. But I don’t think they’d get it.
Cybercafe? Where do you get your work done, Seattle? Send yours in, Carrie.
Ah, Philadelphia, I see.
I love that this is the first thing you do when you get to work on a Monday. It is a Monday, isn’t it?
But, um, don’t you live in MD? No fun times with the Maryland DMV?
I am a loyal blogger who is here to serve my readers. Actually, I wrote this one on Friday and just published it today.
I didn’t even check Maryland’s site; this site was sent to me by my friend Foxymoron.
Oooh. Ducks unlimited is begging for “AFLAC”
You should make a huge deal out of this. Maybe then they’ll change it.
Gen - except that it totally worked for me! Maybe the DMV is sexist, too…
[…] Related to none of this, please check out my and other bloggers’ license plate handiwork over on Argentino’s delightful site. […]
I can’t get it to save the image - it only saves one letter. What am I doing wrong?
Please email me for hilarious submissions..
Excellent post! I’m nowhere near as witty as the likes of you and the other contributors, but I’m a lover of wit.
Argh, stupid typo and now it’s in a trackback. How humiliating. I corrected it on my end.
[…] my Bahamavention, when I get more settled in (read: stop being lazy). But this post from Arjewtino about Virginia vanity plates is why he’s one of my favorite bloggers. Perhaps a little too […]
utter hilarity…i love it
[…] my-favorite-photos The Virginia DMV is anti-Semitic […]
I really like Red’s weed one. That made me “lol”.
AJ- haha maybe they just don’t like ArJew in particular. They know his adgenda! It’s a CONSPIRACY!! ^^
Hey, if a guy named Norman Finkelstein is antisemetic I guess everyone is.
We should all thank DePaul University.
. . . or another Virginia vanity plate that’s particularly infamous around Richmond.
And I thought some of the joke ones we were able to create online could never get past the DMV censors.
Mmm, disgusting allegiance to a group identity! BORGS ‘R US.
