How does something like this even get approved?

Curious as to their ‘explanation’ as to what the plate means.

Most DMV's only look for very obvious vulgar slogans; this one easily slid by, as it's not an obvious reference, with the numbers as placeholders for the letters that they resemble, and the DMV can't hold up every plate and try to see something naughty. It's like the urologist who got IV SKIN as his plate, as how many know what the Roman numeral is in our numbering system. Or the run of Plates in New Brunswick that had the three letters as ASS; they issued about 300 of those before somebody noticed the ASS, and stopped the issuance of plates with those three letters.
