So I saw this on the EL this week:

My favorite part, of course, is the license plate on the hearse. SIDS. If your kid dies of SIDS, they actually use a hearse with that license plate. It’s true.

It’s Illinois law. Other required hearse license plates are CANCER, TRUCK and STRAIGHT UP OLDNESS.
The above ad is part of a larger campaign. the other ads are:
Caption: Your baby belongs on a soft blanket, not under a massive boulder.
Picture: A massive builder with the words BABY CRUSHER etched into it.
Caption: Your baby belongs in a gender appropriately colored baby room, not in a blender.
Picture: A blender. The speed settings on the blender are Slow, Medium, and Baby Don’t Got a Chance. Truthfully, baby don’t got a chance on any of the aforementioned speeds.
Caption: Your baby belongs in your arms, not in the arms of a 17th century sorcerer of awesome powers and ambiguous intent.
Picture: 17th century sorcerer with a staff and a t-shirt says “I eat babies?”
Also, black people, take care of your kids.
