License Ads
- Hard up for money, Illinois is considering of selling advertising space on its state license plates.
The idea is to allow corporate sponsors to put their business logos on the plates, which would be offered to drivers at a discount.
Lawmakers voted last month to have the secretary of state study the pros and cons of corporate plates. The study, meant to gauge interest and potential revenues, should be finished by Jan. 1.
Sen. John Mulroe, D-Chicago said he hopes corporate plates will be a way to bring in more money without raising taxes.
Texas already allows corporate plates, which are produced by a firm called My Plates. The companies that have signed up include the Re/Max real estate business and a hamburger chain called Mighty Fine Burgers.
The humor potential here is endless.

Gov. Quinn & ex Mr. Daley will have;
DIARRHEA 1 & 2.
I have a vest carrier with empty space!!!
Gatorade, Under Armour, Sig Arms, Oakley... care to lease space on my vest?????
In no time, I'll be looking like a Nascar driver
Another stupid idea in Illinois. How novel.
But keep voting for democrats people. They've done such a great job managing the state so far. What are we in, last place?
Yeah, keep voting democrat. Your taxes can't go up more, can they?
Pretty soon the squad cars will be "wrapped" like they do on others! Driving a squad car wrapped with sponsored by "TROJAN SIZE XL" would make me feel like a real man! The possibility's are endless like you said "Only from the minds at SCC"!
Maybe the retailers can lease space on Gov, Potatohead's forehead?
Or maybe he can put on a baseball cap with advertising like NASCAR does when they win a race?
Who am I kidding? Who'd spend money to be connected to Quinn? The only hat he should be wearing with writing on it is a DUNCE cap!
Oh my fucking God are you serious? Someone has a 50k car and they are going to have a hamburger ad on it?
I don't fucking think so.
---not a cop
Stupid idea, but then what else ever comes out of Springfield except bullshit and higher taxes.
How about ads on city vehicles too?
Is this real life?
Idiocracy, here we come!
Will it be mandatory for some poor vehicle owner to advertise for something they do not support?
California already pulls over residents who have license plate holders which cover any portion of the writing or graphics on the place and makes them remove the holder or gives them a ticket. California law requires the entire license plate to be seen without any portion of the plate being hindered from view.
What will happen to Illinois residents who decide to travel to California for a vacation?

The idea comes from that BIG, red, republican state Texas. They've been doing it for a while.
I'll have, "Smith & Wesson, Never Leave Home Without It!"
Notify Starbucks, & Dunkin D that we have room on the tahoes.
Police cars should be like NASCARS - full of corporate decals.
Not a bad idea where leadership on creating and innovation in job creation is pretty bankrupt.
The money to pay pensions has to come from somewhere and it AIN'T going to be coming from the tax base any time soon.
Where are the corporations moving their corporate facilities to? NOT ILLINOIS.
"Saving jobs" is a euphemism for "we can't attract anyone here, so if we can keep someone here we are going to count all their jobs as "found jobs"".
Great for political eye-wash, but absolutely worthless when it comes to getting real cash to pay real bills.
Maybe Duncan donuts will sponsor all if our crown vics! And Serta or Sealy could sponsor our tahoes!
Join the NRA!!
Join the ISRA!!
Hey, why not use some of that blank space on the Chicago flag? We could be the first city with a corporate sponsor. To anyone who thinks that the Dems aren't in bed with big industry just as much as the Reps...wake up.

Some barbs are so beautifully phrased and engineered that they will last forever.
Thanks to the SCC poster who put that up some time back. It's unforgettable.

I love it!
I see Little League teams unabashedly sponsored by funeral homes -- no reason for the police not to do it.
"This Officer Sponsored By --
"WEEBLEY BROS. MORTUARY
"Where Burial Is A Byword."
I will get, "Sex Education, ask driver for details."
Hard up for money, but once they have a new revenue source, it's spent on bullshit anyway & the problem never goes away.
The only critters who will reap benefits from this are the greedy politicians and the connected vendors. The price of nothing will go down. Why not just slap ads on our foreheads and why stop there. I don't want any ads on my license plates when I am paying $99 a year to renew them. Screw that!
800 am I was thinking idiocracy as well. If you haven't seen it watch it. Its a comedy but defintely shows the direction the usa is going
i think they should take old honest abe off of the plates and replace it with daley's puss--- our motto changes from the land of lincoln to the land of thievery....

Ah, so you agree that the democrats fucked up this state beyond repair, right? No, you don't. You poisoned yourself with their Kool Aid.
You can still save yourself by running to get your shine box, asshat. My boots need some work.
Work. That's a foreign concept to most of your fellow dumbocRAT voters.
Maybe an ad for a DUI lawyer. The bad guy wouldn't have to use a phonebook.
These were on Capitolfax.com.
Hilarious!

"Get your shinebox'? LMAO. Really dude!? Come out of your momma's basement and stop watching the goodfellas, that comment is so 1990's.
First off learn to read and comprehend. The poster never indicated their political leaning and just pointed out a FACT that is has and is being done in a Republican state. Get over it.

Uh, maybe not that one...

AUTO ACCIDENTS! FALLS! BURNS! BROKEN BONES!
BRISKMAN AND BRISKMAN
"We're On Your Side."
Well, jeez, considering all the money you're getting, I'm glad you're not helping the guy who ran over me...
Hey squad... what's the code for the hamburger plate?
Dunkin Donuts will sponsor all Chicago Squad cars. Starbucks will have control over State Police cars in the metro area. As an added Kick the Mayor and his city council with have "A Big Bag Fertilizer: logon on all of their cars!!!!!!!!!!!!
