[Ed W]

The Oklahoman is running a poll on the proposed designs for a new state license plate.

Thanks to dustbury.com for this.  Of course, he offered his own design:

How about an indian plate for everyone who wants to be an indian and a cowboy plate for everyone who wants to be a cowboy.


Otherwise, I want a picture of a pregnant teenager smoking meth on the front steps of her mobile home.

[Curmudgeon]

I'm not really inspired by any of them.

Cowboys and Indians.  It that the only thing this state has to offer?  No wonder everybody thinks Oklahoma is still the in cowboys and Indians age.  That is ALL we use to promote ourselves.

Too bad.

In light of how much natural gas we produce I think the slogan should be changed to "We keep you warm"  And have a blue flame in the middle.  That will give people from other states to think about when they see them.

I'm so sick of the ****ing cliche indian that I'll vote for ANYTHING else, even if it is equally stereotypical as a cowboy.

Agreed. The Indian cliche has been used way past it's expiration date. Oklahoma needs something besides the "Grapes of Wrath" image.

I think they should make the Route 66 plate the standard plate.  It is one thing that stretches across Oklahoma and most people can relate to.

it implies we have two things, flat ground and weather....which is pretty much the truth.

I think Oklahoma ought to put our collection of Miss Americas on the license plate. You can attack us for a lot of things, but we gots some purty women.

Can we just go back to "Oklahoma is OK"

or put a tornado on the plate.
