Related: About this forumThe VRGYNYA license plate
A couple of weeks ago, Holly Banh of New Mexico suggested a personalized message for Virginia's Planned Parenthood license plate, the one reading "Trust women. Respect choice." Her pick: VRGYNYA.
I wasn't sure it would pass the filters for explicit reference to ladyparts, but maybe I was just misreading the plate. FTR, Rachel said she thought it would be fine. You can see now who won. David and Sandee Delano of Williamsburg, Virginia, send the picture above and a note:
When we saw the winner of the Virginia license plate contest on The Maddow Blog, we LOVED it!
So.....we decided to see if we could get it. It arrived today! It's a good match with all the bumper stickers!

Virginia license plate made of win
&width=600
This proposed Virginia license plate is late-arriving for our challenge, and I think it might violate the state's rule against license plates about ladyparts (or manparts), or maybe that was just my first read. Whatever, this plate is so good that I'm posting it anyway. Holly Banh of New Mexico, you win this post.

In VA it just reads Virginia.

they would probably read it as "Virgin YA" and denounce it as sexual in nature!
