Story is coming in, they were filming in Argentina, in or around falklands row, and one of their vehicles had a lincense plate that read H982-FLK....some veterans apparently got butthurt over this, feeling it was a jab at the 1982 conflict, and they pelted the vehicles and cast with stones, the cast and crew reportedly escaped to the airport and were evacuated away to safety...

WTF...some countries...just get so damn eat up over shit.

The funny part about that story is the car had that tag from day one when it was initially registered from what I read.

Also the vid is really anticlimactic.

So if a Saudi had the tag "911 LOL" on his Bentley and cruised through Pensacola you'd find it amusing?

What's the significance of the "H9" portion of the plate? Sometimes a license plate is just a license plate.

The date of the conflict was 1982....So, imagine the right leg of the H is a 1.

H982.

Then, FLK for Falklands
