BBC: The state of Kentucky is set to withdraw the design of the state’s smiling sunshine face from its licence plates because it is so unpopular.
Perched beneath the line “It’s that friendly” on the plates, the smiling sun has met ridicule and scorn.
Drivers have been drawing moustaches on the face, or transforming the smile into a scowl in protest.
The new design features an outline of the state of Kentucky in the centre and the words “Unbridled spirit”.
“A lot of people found them so obnoxious they wouldn’t put them on their cars,” county official Don Blevins told the Associated Press.
They’ve been drawing moustaches on it? It’s Kentucky–draw a mullet on it and everyone will love it.
