Does Anyone Notice a Problem with Nebraska’s New License Plates?

Question:  What’s the man doing on the new State of Nebraska license plates?

According to Nebraska’s governor, Pete Ricketts (yes, that’s his real name), the image shows the image of a “sower.”

Hmm — that’s not what I’d call it.

I discovered that a sower is properly defined as “someone who scatters or places seeds where they will grow.”

Folks, you can’t make this stuff up.

I wonder — is someone who’s really experienced at scattering seeds known as a Mastersower?

How did this mystifying image manage to get past various committees, review boards, and even the Nebraska State Legislature, without at least raising a few eyebrows?  Am I the only sick and perverted individual in America with this mind in the gutter who looks at this bizarre image and sees something hysterical?  I sure as hell don’t see a “sower.”  Instead, I see a man who appears to be enjoying himself immensely.

According to news reports, Nebraska will be soon celebrating its 150th year as a state.  Come January 2017, this special occasion will be marked with the release of these commemorative license plates, with the “sower” portrait featured prominently as the state seal, standing atop the capitol building.

Gives a whole new meaning to vanity license plates, doesn’t it?  One things for sure.  That is one healthy-looking sower.
