I'm willing to bet very few people find what Vladi said to be more offensive than any of the "seven words".

Unless you mean the word "freakin" by itself. That's not what I'm talking about.

You're a son of a *****, you know that?...What did I ever do to your [son] but praise his glory and praise his name?...Have I displeased you, you feckless thug?...To hell with your punishments and to hell with you!
But all that is beside the point. Vladi was poking fun at the overreaction of christians when seeing something (intentional or not) that they consider an affront to their god, as illustrated in the OP. You fell into the trap.

On the other hand, though, I would not have accepted that plate number. I would have torn up the application and re-submitted it for a whole new plate. If you display a Satanic number, in my book, that is just asking for trouble. If you play with fire, some of it is going to burn....in this case, literally.

This probably has nothing to do with religious fanatics but rather with mob. Driving a Viper in Russia most likely means that you got your money real "fast".
Of course there are people who made lots of money in every honest way but they are minority and among them there are very few that would go on and blow off money on a Viper.
Anyway I love the 666 spin of the situation.

I agree. Russia, despite the benefits is having dumped Communism, still has one of the world's most corrupt economies. There are a lot of ways to make a dishonest dollar in Russia.....almost as many as honest ones.
(I see your screen name is Vladi. That suggests a Russian background yourself...maybe from Vladivostok? My response is not meant as an insult to you, but just, like yours, to show how easy it is to get corrupt dollars there)

Like you I don't want to insult our Russian friends on CL but Russia is in very bad shape when it comes to corruption and organized crime.

This was a Dodge Viper in Russian city Kostroma. And it carried plates with “666″ number. Some may not liked it too much considering it to be devil’s breed

We have an accountant that comes into our work occasionally and he has a registration number with his initials and "666" - as does my wife's dentist (I'd torch his car because of his bills not the numberplate). Maybe their professions have something to do with it! These are plates they have purchased so they obviously have no problems with it - neither do I actually - I certainly don't consider it "the devil's number"
