I'm betting the new plates were designed with a higher contrast so that photo radar can pick it up better -- either that or maybe it just helps the governor see them.

I guess, compared to the fact that world will end in 2012, this is a minor issue. But fuck! For those of us who do NOT believe in conspiracies and end of the world shit, HOW THE FUCK ARE WE CONTINUING TO GRIN AND BEAR ALL THE BULLSHIT THAT'S BEING FED TO US?!?!

I've domiciled myself outside of NYS for a while now, yet continued to pay taxes in both States. But now, I'm thinking to just fucking move far enough away, so I don't have to deal with Idiocracy. For real. Its just dawning on me, that if they can fuck up something this simple this bad, that there is no fucking hope. I'm gonna John Galt myself in a day or two. Who's with me biatches?
