In a surprising turn of events, it has been discovered that the website address printed on many Maryland license plates now leads to an unexpected place.
Instead of taking you to the intended website, the URL printed on the War of 1812 license plates now redirects to a gambling site based in the Philippines.
These license plates, designed by the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission, proudly display the URL www.starspangled200.org. Initially, this website belonged to Star-Spangled 200 Inc., a nonprofit affiliated with the commission. The organization raised funds for special projects and events related to the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
However, residents of Maryland recently discovered that when they visit the website printed on their license plates, they are redirected to a gambling website based in the Philippines. It is certainly an unexpected and puzzling situation.
According to the MVA, approximately 798,000 active Maryland license plates bear this URL. That’s quite a large number!
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
