'Merlot' a No-No on Utah License Plate
By Associated Press
Sat Mar 17, 9:19 PM
SALT LAKE CITY - Merlot can be a variety of grape or a type of red wine, but not an acceptable personalized license plate in the state of Utah.
Glenn Eurick's 1996 Mercedes has had the license plate reading "merlot" for 10 years. He says the plate never got a lot of notice until the Utah Tax Commission told him last week that he had to remove it because the state doesn't allow words of intoxicant to be used on vanity plates.
Six or seven-letter words like liquor or whiskey probably wouldn't make it through the state screening process before the plates are issued. But merlot did and Eurick was fine until an anonymous caller told the state that merlot was also an alcoholic beverage.
Eurick's car with the offending plate is dark red, like the wine. He said few people who asked about the plate made the connection. Though one man did ask "if we chose merlot because there were too many letters in cabernet sauvignon," Eurick said.
Eurick said he will challenge the state's decision. |

How true. How could a pervert like this even be a citizen of these great united states? I am disgusted that it took this long for the government to rectify this mishap. I support beer commercials with half-naked women dancing and implying that if I drink their beer I will get to plow one of them, but having a license plate that promotes alcohol? That is just sick, and this man should be punished. He should be put in jail where he will become some big black man's bitch and get ass-f***ed each and every day as a reminder of the horrible, horrible thing he put on his car.

Sure you will, they will only look hot because you are hammered out of your mind. In truth, they will be the fattest, ugliest chicks at the party. But will that stop you? No. No, it won't.

Remember, this is a state where they have warning signs in elevators not to ride in a car, go out to eat, or otherwise find your self alone with a member of the opposite sex who is not your husband or wife.
