You know, in the crazy world of social media, sometimes the most unexpected things can cause a huge stir. Take this Nevada license plate, for instance. It was just an ordinary piece of metal with some letters and numbers on it, but the message it bore – “Go back to California” – set Facebook ablaze. People couldn’t get enough of it, and before you knew it, over 80 thousand users had hit that “like” button. It was like a digital wildfire spreading at lightning speed.
Now, you might be wondering, what’s so special about this particular plate? Well, it seems to have tapped into a sentiment that a lot of Nevadans, or maybe just some with a sense of humor, feel. Maybe there’s a bit of a friendly rivalry between the two states, and this was someone’s cheeky way of expressing it. But here’s the twist: the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) wasn’t too amused. They stepped in and recalled the plate. You see, while it might have been a hit on social media, it apparently didn’t meet the DMV’s standards for what should be cruising around on the roads.
