Just when you thought there was nothing left to brand, someone in South Carolina (Florida is also working on this) decided it was time for sanctified license plates. The special plates feature a stained-glass window and a cross on one side with the slogan "I Believe" across the bottom. The move is not without controversy. The happy folks at Americans United for Separation of Church and State in DC filed a lawsuit. While we object on principle to the commoditization of faith and to the aesthetic of this product in particular, it's really none of our business if a bunch of people want to spend an extra $55 on their license plates. We just hope that everyone who buys them drives with the love of Jesus reflected in their every turn.

Ah, yes... religious license plates. Just like religious t-shirts. They go to good use: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0716081shirts7.html
