A guy in Las Vegas has vanity license plates that read “HOE” and the Nevada DMV attempted to cancel his plates. The case went all the way to the Nevada Supreme Court. From AP….
The high court said the DMV based its opposition to William Junge’s plate on definitions found in the Web-based Urban Dictionary, which includes user contributions. Justices ruled that the contributed definitions “do not always reflect generally accepted definitions for words.”
Junge, whose case was pursued by the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, said he got the “HOE” plate in 1999 for his Chevy Tahoe, after being told “TAHOE” wasn’t available.
Try this next time you see somebody driving a new Tahoe; “Hey that’s a pretty sweet looking hoe you’re got there!”
Yeah, that’s kind of goofy but…as goofy as the ACLU taking this thing to the State Supreme Court?
But, the real yobs here are the folks at the DMV for going to court with the Urban Dictionary in their trick bag. The Urban Dictionary! Yeah, that will hold up in court.

A Taiwanese man who lost two million US dollars in Las Vegas is threatening to sue the casino for using feng shui to cause his losing streak, a report here said.
The man, surnamed Yuan, alleged that the Venetian dug a one-metre (40-inch) square hole on the wall of the presidential suite he was staying in April last year and covered it with a black cloth, said Apple Daily.
The casino also put two white towels in front of Yuan’s suite and turned on two large fans facing his room without notifying him, it said.
Yuan claimed that his luck turned bad after discovering the arrangements and that he went from winning 400,000 dollars to losing two million, the report said.
Hunh!!??
Dastardly really, if you think about it. I mean, you know it’s house odds going in but…screwing with the feng shui on top of that. And, proving intentional feng shui abuse in court; that’s a tough nut, no?
