"This guy is either gonna think 'Here's another kid with a fake ID' or 'Here's McLovin, a 25 year-old Hawaiian organ donor'."
City seeks ban on ‘Superbad’ over bogus ‘McLovin’ ID
The city asked Wal-Mart Stores Inc. yesterday to stop selling packages of the "Superbad" DVD movie that contain a copy of a fake Hawaii driver's license featured in the comedy.
Officials said they have notified local authorities and even the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, fearing minors might use the plastic cards to buy alcohol or drive vehicles.
"It concerns us because it may encourage unlawful activities," said Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann. "We love publicity and promotion but not this kind."
...Jeff Coelho, city director of the Department of Customer Services, said the card sold with the DVD could be modified with a printer to look like a real ID.
"You'd have something that is really close and similar to our official driver's license," he said. "But when you do that, you would be breaking the law."
Hat tip to Kate who says, "You know what else can be modified on a printer to look like a real ID? A REAL ID!!!"
