Just found this "news" story - I do sometimes wonder if we have not let the lunatics take over the asylum with some of these PC issues. (HALIFAX, Nova Scotia) - A Canadian provincial government has withdrawn a man's eponymous personalized vehicle license plate, saying Lorne Grabher's surname is offensive to women when viewed on his car bumper. Grabher said Friday that he put his last name on the license plate decades ago as a gift for his late father's birthday, and says the province's refusal to renew the plate late last year is unfair. Grabher says the Nova Scotia government is discriminating against his name. Transport Department spokesman Brian Taylor says while the department understands Grabher is a surname with German roots, this context isn't available to the general public who view it. The personalized plate program introduced in 1989 allows the province to refuse names when they're deemed offensive, socially unacceptable and not in good taste.
I am female. I am not offended. The guy appears to be retaining his adolescent 'shock, horror' tendencies. Not a matter for governments to waste time and money on. Ignore.
