Driving a Korean car no less
I wonder how Thomas Kia feels about the shout out.
Well his number is right there, someone can give him a call…
I would imagine he’s busy.
How many Kias can possibly be sold on a Wednesday morning, in Indiana
Well it’s only Thomas holding down the fort
In a Korean car too which is funny.
What does the BODG stand for?
It says BOOG, as in boogaloo, as in Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo
You’ve got to be kidding? They’re appropriating Electric Boogaloo (a film about break dancing and the black community) as their slogan? That is wrong on so many levels.
Not only that, according to the wikipedia article OP linked:
“The boogaloo movement has created logos and other imagery incorporating [igloo] snow huts and Hawaiian prints based on these derivations.”
If white supremacy was so “supreme”, why are these morons using Indigenous-based iconography for their movement I wonder. They’ll claim it’s to “fly under the radar”, but that just makes them look even more smooth brained.
Wait what the fuck I wear Hawaiian print shirts all the time, have I been looking like a fascist and not known it?
Naaah dude, don’t let them claim Hawaiian shirts, keep wearing them and being radical
You can tell who’s a Nazi cause their Hawaiian shirts have guns on them. Mine shirts have flowers and boats and stuff.
I’m sorry you had to find out this way
A few years ago Republicans were also dancing to System of a Down’s Killing in the Name Of song as if it was pro-them.
Never underestimate the amount of stupid and innapropriate conservatives are capable of.
Ronald Reagan used Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” like it was a patriotic song
Rage, not System 😊
Then the douchebag CEO for Dutch Brothers coffee wears a RATM shirt to their NYSE IPO which is where they filmed their anti-wallstreet music video “sleep now in the fire” with Michael Moore
“Killing in the Name” is by Rage Against the Machine, but the point stands
Woops, apologies XD thank you for the rectification
Oh, I didn’t even think about that. Definitely makes sense.
That’s what they meant but I just read it as they were a self aware booger brained racist.
Looks like someone who needs some break lights replacing, maybe two tires as well.
maybe they need to repaint their car because keys were somehow pressed and dragged against it.
maybe some pigeon broke some windows idk, those damn animals.
maybe the oil plug has came a bit loose and he loses the engine a bit ahead…
nazis justify more creativity.
This is light. We used to deal with Nazis much differently back in the day
In which war you fought pal?
Grandpa didn’t live long enough to find out he was old school antifa. A baller.
I’ve heard that curbs were involved.
sure does
Report it - State of Indiana
https://www.in.gov/bmv/registration-plates/vehicle-registrations/
It’s Indiana, they’ll probably retaliate.
how’s this look
I had sent one as well, hope that inbox gets stuffed.
That boogie-board enthusiast, who happened to be born in 1988, is going to be pretty pissed if they try changing his license plate.
Prank idea: Turn your mate’s number plate into a Nazi dogwhistle so they have to change it
This is Boogie Time Boogie Board incorporated, isn’t it?
I have absolutely no knowledge about any of this but just wanted to say that’s well-written. Hope you get that pathetic POS.
Thanks! I doubt I’ll get a response or find out anything that happens, but hopefully this asshole at least needs to replace their plates.
You meant “DMV”, right?
Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
“Bureau of motor vehicles”
What’s a bureau? Am American and don’t speak foreign. Also, is “vehicles” just the same for all transportation? Like, could I get my space ship learner’s permit…you know what, never mind. Too much work.
“Federal Bureau of Investigation”
No, outside of Indiana it’s “Federal Department of Investigation”, that’s why they always say “FDI” in the movies, haven’t you noticed?
BMV is like vroom-car office in your dialect
Nope. Indiana has the BMV. Same thing, different name.
some superheros sport email clients in their back pockets. 👍
I thought this was about that Boogie guy who makes YouTube videos and has bad views. Thank you for explaining!
Good ol’ Indiana
Is that a custom plate or did somebody get really unlucky with the plate they were given my the OMV/DMV?
Apparently it is not the standard design for an Indiana plate, so it must be a custom. Plus, the chances of randomly getting BOOG88 have got to be pretty small.
Plus, the chances of randomly getting BOOG88 have got to be pretty small.
But not impossible.
I’m just imagining the guy that randomly got that license plate with no idea of any possible meaning.
He just can’t understand why his car is always the victim of such vandalism. Every time he gets it fixed, he finds it keyed again, or the tires flat, lights smashed…
The change for an individual of getting it randomly may be pretty small, but also doesn’t matter. The change the OMV/DMV gives out this plate is all that matters.
This. It doesn’t matter that this specific guy got it. It matters whether or not it CAN exist. If it CAN exist, then eventually someone will get it.
Sure, I’m not saying this is smoking gun proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, but at the same time, it would be one hell of a coincidence.
No, actually impossible.
The “randomly assigned” plates aren’t random, they’re sequential. They have a pattern, like letter-number-letter-letter-letter-number-number, and they stamp plate after plate to ship out to DMVs to have ready. Every state has a pattern, they look random by design - they only pick certain letters and cycle through the numbers before picking the next run, you won’t get something like this on a “random” plate
It’s one of the standard plates. You can choose this plate instead of the one you posted without any additional fee. You have the option to pay $45 to personalize it but you don’t have to.

The chances are exactly the same as getting any other random number (assuming the ‘4 letters, two numbers’ pattern is allowed in the random pool at all).
The probability of getting BOOG88 is the same as any other random series, but the chances of getting a random series that also has two extremist dogwhistles is very small
I find it somewhat odd that there wouldn’t be at least one “infowarrior rides” bumper sticker. Guess they just wanna be a lowkey shithead with the vanity plate.
yep, they call it “being crypto” or “hiding their power level”
So, funny story, as a kid my favorite number was 8, had a few reasons that matched 8.
So I always used it in names and such. But, often it wasnt unique, so I used 88 instead. Emails, account names, even video game characters have 88 in them to this day.
… Am I accidentally a Nazi?
Literally in the exact same position… I’ve been using it for 20+ years and I’ll be damned if I let them take that away from me though.
No. 88 is just a number. It can be used as a dog whistle, but it can also be used, for instance, to describe a quantity equidistant between 87 and 89. Numbers and symbols don’t make a Nazi, actions and rhetoric do.
I love Norse symbology. I’m not going to stop loving it because some fuckbrains use it to spread hate. Fuck that.
Based. Same goes for the boogaloo “movement” just because there are Nazis in it doesn’t mean it’s a primaryily Nazi community.
No, but it is primarily a white supremacists movement and the ‘88’ on the license plate kinda takes away all doubt.
Bro. Read the comment. There’s shitheads in every community. Boogaloo is about preparing for what we see as the inevitable second civil war. Not anyone’s skin color.
No. Use swastikas to mean peace and good luck, use the color red to mean communism, wealth, that you like the color red, whatever you like. Don’t refuse to use a symbol because others have used it for bad. Co opt it back.
👌
88 is also a popular number in China as it looks like 囍 which is the symbol for double happiness.
Just don’t be a Nazi and keep using 88 for good.
My wife’s pet name is Boog, and I’m determined not to let Nazis take it away.
I had a cat growing up named Boog… named after John “Boog” Powell… the baseball player, not Nazis.
Hamburg licence plates say HH.
Don’t worry about it.
Born in 1988? Lots of folks born that year decided to have those two digits in their first Internet usernames as well. A few of those will still be in use, no doubt, so you’re not alone. (Me? No, I’m older.)
In your shoes, I’d maybe think about changing things around, especially the easy ones, but you’re not me, nor I you.
The way it was explained to me is that H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, HH stands for Hile Hitler
Well, we need to make 88 stand for Hulk Hogan Brother!
882
I’m sitting behind a California plate that reads “88 RISE”. Is that…?
Could be 88 Rising. The asian music production company that has some great Asian artists.
Lol first thing I thought of as well.
I’m gonna go ahead and guess nobody got a vanity plate about an Asian music production company unless they own that company.
From Wikipedia:
Headquartered in New York City, the company also has offices in Los Angeles and Shanghai.
So it could be a company car.
With an Indiana plate? Sure lots of traveling fleet vehicles are registered in Indiana, but I’ve not seen office cars that largely remain local registered in Indiana
Guy was responding to a comment about a California plate
Woof, that’s a ROUGH coincidence that absolutely makes sense
88 is heil hitler
And the swastika used to be a Buddhist simbol, your point?
Not used to be. Still are. Symbols can represent a lot of things, and it’s an ignorant person to assume that they MUST represent the bad one.
That’s exactly what the Nazi’s say. These two lighting bolts? It’s nothing bro! I just like the number 88! 14 is my lucky number! Etc etc
See it’s funny you say that. My neighbor had a pumpkin that I SWORE was two lightning bolts, til I looked at it properly and it was the KISS logo. And say what you want about being a KISS fan, it’s a lot better than the conclusion that was initially reached. Benign explanations for things exist, and you have to look at more than a license plate to get an idea of someone’s beliefs.
Why are you surfing lemmy and driving? And don’t gimme that "I’m a passenger " bullshit, eyes on the road Fam!
I was parallel parked.
If the error was a randomly issued plate, the state should automatically reissue. I mean, no one is getting FCKPLC randomly. Either way, this plate and ref must be blacklisted.
To be fair, usually they have a schema of, say, LNL-NLN or LLLLNN or something similar where Ls are letters and Ns are numbers. Every non-vanity (or special, like gov’t, dealer, temp…) plate will follow the schema, so I doubt there’s a chance FCKPLC could show up.
The other unfortunate thing with dog whistles is, they’re designed to be easily looked over, subtle enough to be plausible. Without other evidence this guy is a Nazi, the only right thing to do is to let them be. The consequences of taking action against an innocent person far outweigh the benefits of acting against a single Nazi.
The presence of a dog whistle itself can’t be a reason to attack someone (metaphorically, hopefully. Don’t do random acts of violence against individuals period. There are better ways to get results.) but it is definitely enough to make one cautious and observant.
I’m not saying you should fuck up their ride buuut, I’m not saying you shouldn’t either.
Wink.
The disambiguation page for Boogaloo is now a bunch of awesome shit like music and dance styles plus an extremist movement…
Fuck you, choose a different name for your whack ass antics.
I refuse to stop adding “2: Electric Boogaloo” to the end of literally any and everything much to the chagrin of those around me.
A classic, but I’ve had to move on to “___ 2: The Squeaquel”
Jesus Christ, you 2?
Nah I think its Bono, U2.
Proud American driving a Korean car!
Driving a German car would be ridiculous!!
The best part is it also advertises how many of his own boogers he eats per week.
Think of the life where you have 88 boogers a day… The torture.
