While most of us are content with taking whatever plate number the DMV assigns us, there are a select number who like to make their own vanity plates. An even fewer number are willing to stretch the limits of what is and isnt allowed by their local DMV; such was the case of a man in Nevada who recently got his license plate of “HOE” approved.
From Foxnews.com
A Las Vegas man won a courtroom battle Wednesday with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles over his “HOE” license plate, which the agency refused to renew on grounds that he was using a slang reference to prostitutes.
The best part about the case was this bit however:
“While the Urban Dictionary might be an entertaining Web site about the English language, the court acknowledged it’s not a reliable source for DMV decision-making about whether a license plate is vulgar,” Gasca said.
It’s a good thing our government is not using Urban Dictionary as an official dictionary. Even though congress has its own YouTube, and Obama loves Twitter, the slang in Urban Dictionary has no place in our nations courtrooms.
It’s even better that free speech is still alive and well in this country. This guy said he liked Lake Tahoe, so let him put HOE on the plate. I see nothing wrong with this.
Also today, from Barstool Sports, a picture of a New York plate “RU18YET” – This is awesome.

For those who use Pandora.com on a regular basis, a sad e-mail was sent out today regarding the future of the service. Starting this month, Pandora will start capping online listening to 40 hours per month.
While we did the best we could to lower the rates, we are going to have to make an adjustment that will affect about 10% of our users who are our heaviest listeners. Specifically, we are going to begin limiting listening to 40 hours per month on the web.
- Tim Westergren, Founder Pandora
For those of us who may listen at work, or enjoy setting up a playlist for a night of drinking, 40 hours a month is fairly easy to get to. That would work out to about 1 hour a day on average, or the equivalent of 15 songs (or drilling down even further, about 1 CD per day). With Pandora One charging 36 bucks for a year subscription it appears to be quite the deal. Lets break it down.
With Pandora One you can stream unlimited hours of music commercial and ad free for 1 year. For that same $36 you can buy 36 singles on iTune, or 4 or 5 albums at Target. With $36 dollars you could also buy one brand new Blu Ray at retail price (something I strongly discourage – get them on sale at amazon.com, but thats a different blog)
If you are a Pandora addict like me, it would be worth looking into this subscription service. While there are many alternatives to Pandora, there is just something about how it all comes together with this service which is why I always keep coming back.
Of course, we can still hold out and hope they remove the cap and continue to offer the same great service and find new ways to make money. If you are interested in finding out more about Pandora One, head on over to http://www.pandora.com/pandora_one

Link: Porn Industry Still Fighting AIDS
LOS ANGELES – It was revealed this week that a woman tested positive for HIV immediately after making an adult film. The state Division of Occupational Safety and Health is attempting to identify the filmmaker, at which point a formal investigation would begin.
…..
After an HIV outbreak in 2004 spread panic through the industry and briefly shut down production at several studios, many producers began making condoms a requirement. But they said both actors and audiences quickly rebelled.“What happened was the talent didn’t want to use condoms,” said Steven Hirsch, co-Chief Executive of Vivid Entertainment Group, one of the industry’s largest filmmakers. “As a result, we decided to go condom optional.”
I like that phrase. The next time I’m with the fairer sex, I’m going to say, “I know you wanted me to use protection, but I’m going condom-optional.” I bet it would go over as well as the imminent discussion about herpes later on. I am curious though, how does a condom mess up the porno-fantasy for the audience?
I understand that the condom attenuates the sensation a little, but it’s not like there’s a sensation to begin with. If you’re watching porn, you’re beating off to OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SEX! Are people that obsessed with hitting it raw that they refuse to watch other people using condoms? When you’re watching porn, it’s not like you’re feeling anything other than your hand. Well, besides rejection and loneliness.
She'd be moaning a lot louder if he'd gone Condom-Optional.
The “talent’s” disdain for condoms makes slightly more sense, until you realize that these people fuck for a living and are legitimately killing each other in growing numbers. It’s kind of like a cult. Only sexier.
Written by: Mike I was lounging around on a lazy Saturday morning, flipping through the 200 or so channels I pay for which I never get a chance to watch, and I came across American Wedding. This is the final chapter in the more well known American Pie movie series. If you are in your 20’s you’ve no doubt seen or heard of such movies; they have introduced the term MILF into common culture, turned ‘band camp’ into a sexual deviant’s paradise, and made the penetration of pastry delights slightly less awkward.
Written by: Mike IRAM, Ohio — Someone has beheaded a statue of President James Garfield that was installed last week at an Ohio college.
Hiram College spokesman Shawn Brown says the vandalism was discovered Friday morning, just a day after the sandstone statue was dedicated on the campus in Hiram, 30 miles southeast of Cleveland.
Brown says the college is hoping the head will be recovered so the 95-year-old statue can be restored, but police have no leads in their investigation.
I’m honestly at a loss of words here, hasn’t the guy suffered enough after getting assassinated a few months into his term?
“Congratulations Mr. President! Your portrait is almost complete, the artist just needs a few more hours to work on it, your going to *bang*……”
The other thought I had is that the guy was president for like 2 months, yet is getting statues made and is still considered a president. Shouldn’t we have some type of law that says an individual needs to occupy the office for half a term to be considered a president?
I’m all for having a fun time with friends and doing things that are borderline illegal, but this is kinda sick and twisted. I guess living so close to Celevland does turn people crazy.
