The mayor of Honolulu said, "It was foolish of the movie studio to include this prop... it could be used by unscrupulous people to deceive others..."

  • DoodleMaster, on 12/09/2007, -3/+454If a person checking the license couldn't tell if THAT card was a fake, then hawaii has bigger problems on their hands...
  • njection, on 12/09/2007, -7/+166Better safe than sorry. We don't want any underage kids getting knocked out trying to by beer at a liqueur store.
    /sarcasm
  • HenvY, on 12/09/2007, -3/+154No, you're not McLovin.
  • krabat, on 12/09/2007, -1/+147What the ***** is wrong with people. Seriously.
  • thebellmaster1x, on 12/09/2007, -4/+141Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Do people disregard the picture when checking a license? Where's the problem?
  • Frostman3D, on 12/09/2007, -4/+122Ya know, this country is getting dumber and dumber every day.
  • inactive, on 12/09/2007, -5/+107I'm gettin that FO SHO
  • cnot3, on 12/09/2007, -1/+97If I was working in a liquor store and some kid used one of those, I would be very temped to let it slide.
  • novask, on 12/09/2007, -1/+73DOB 1990, am I the only one who sees a problem with this?
  • Soave, on 12/09/2007, -14/+81We saw the movie, thanks.
  • Aroundtown27, on 12/09/2007, -0/+65"The "license" appears to be made with a lenticular lens, and when viewed at different angles shows either Fogell or his ever-sexy alter-ego, "McLovin." - I didn't know Hawaii let you have cool licenses like that.... Now I want one!
  • tidu, on 12/09/2007, -2/+50Not to mention the ID only says you're 17 years old... All that's good for is seeing Superbad in theaters.
  • JoaoPe, on 12/09/2007, -41/+86Evan: You changed your name to McLovin?
    Seth: It doesn't even have a first name, it just says McLovin!
    Evan: The guy's either going think 'here's another guy with a fake ID', or here's McLovin, 25 year old Hawaiian organ donor. Okay? So what's it gonna be?
    Fogell: [grinning] I am McLovin.
  • gbarberi, on 12/09/2007, -0/+35So their license is that easy to duplicate!?
  • afdlips, on 12/09/2007, -4/+36Hey, Im an organ donor too.
  • krackajap, on 12/09/2007, -2/+30I am from Hawaii and I'd just like to point out, yes, we really are that stupid.
  • jarontea, on 12/09/2007, -0/+25Buried for being inaccurate. Only pulled in Hawaii stores. Walmart recognized that ID was clearly fake so they are leaving in all other stores.
  • DefaultGen, on 12/09/2007, -2/+26You obviously didn't consider that the actual actor might be using it. The damage is done. The world is over. Burn the DVDs.
  • saifatlast, on 12/09/2007, -0/+21Haha, liqueur store... a store that only sells peach schnapps and amaretto!
  • cavie2002, on 12/09/2007, -14/+35Muhammed is the most commonly used name on Earth. Read a ***** book for once
  • savethemooses, on 12/09/2007, -2/+23Hawaii has Wal-Marts? What a bizarre convergence of paradise and hell.
  • digthedug, on 12/09/2007, -3/+19DOB = 06/03/1990. Also, wasn't this movie RATED-R, so a minor couldn't buy the movie, thus not getting the ID?
  • ther4p1st, on 12/09/2007, -2/+17It expires in 06/03/2008 too, so nobody's gonna get away with anything. But then again, it does say that:

    "The "license" appears to be made with a lenticular lens, and when viewed at different angles shows either Fogell or his ever-sexy alter-ego, "McLovin."

    So maybe at a certain angle it shows a different birth date?
  • whataboutdave, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15"I used to work in a liquor store"
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+17They're people, therefore, stupid.
  • ashlvsya, on 12/09/2007, -1/+15BREAKING: Mayor of Honolulu calls American citizens idiots...
  • itsinmyeyes, on 12/09/2007, -4/+16Dugg down because you're annoying
  • cowboy86, on 12/09/2007, -0/+12Sounds like an awesome license plate template to me.
  • arplayer2k, on 12/09/2007, -3/+14Also if the state of Hawaii's licensel is so simple that it can easily be counterfeited, then yeah, they have a huge problem on their hands.
  • numb, on 12/09/2007, -1/+11I'd like it to be left up to the states to be dumber every day.
  • lennybird, on 12/09/2007, -0/+10You're probably one of those people who also think that violence in video games is the reason for the high crime rates...?
  • mrsteveman1, on 12/09/2007, -0/+9You fail at psychology :D
  • inactive, on 12/09/2007, -1/+10Should have RTFA. There's a copy of the license in the package. You'd have to be an idiot to take it as acceptable ID.
  • Viend, on 12/09/2007, -0/+9If in Hawaii they can't tell the difference between:
    http://cache.consumerist.com/assets/resources/2007 ...
    and
    http://consumerist.com/assets/resources/2007/12/re ...
    other than the picture, then Hawaiian cops would all need to be fired.
  • Elranzer, on 12/09/2007, -0/+8They have Wal-marts in Hawaii? Could any of the islands even fit one of the stores?
  • sam10685, on 12/09/2007, -3/+11I don't even know what's going on here.
  • sherbertbones, on 12/09/2007, -1/+8Obviously the idiots digging you down haven't seen the movie
  • hplasm, on 12/09/2007, -0/+7Unless you are a Teddybear!
  • kiwimonk, on 12/09/2007, -1/+8Well everyone might not think this is serious. What about the real Hawaiian McLovin that can't buy booze now because of this scandal? Also, I hate Sony :)
  • masterc, on 12/09/2007, -2/+9They only pulled it in Hawaii. RTFA.
  • saifatlast, on 12/09/2007, -1/+7>>...ughhhhh...

    Maybe if your comment is that painful to type, you should reconsider leaving it for the rest of us to read.

  • Unit134679, on 12/09/2007, -7/+13This is pointless and lame. Making a big deal out of nothing...
  • ReCkLeSsX, on 12/09/2007, -4/+10I think I need to buy this DVD.
  • D3koy, on 12/09/2007, -3/+9Buy R-Rated Movie- 17 years old
    Buy Booze- 21 years old
    ...
  • patch6, on 12/09/2007, -1/+7I'll get the DVD now just to spite Hawaii.
  • gotcheaprice, on 12/09/2007, -1/+6Since I live in Hawaii, I'm gonna try get one and use it for something now...
  • CaviMike, on 12/09/2007, -1/+6I don't know why you're getting buried because it's true. In fact I actually want to go buy this movie now simply because of this, I didn't know it came with a fake license in it. Well, that and I hate WalMart.
  • Mononuclear, on 12/09/2007, -1/+6If you can buy alcohol with this ID you should be able to buy some with any ID.. The picture isn't you, the style isn't accurate, and the DOB makes you 17 not 21.
  • shadowblade989, on 12/09/2007, -1/+6So people are trying to buy alcohol with this and it indicates the holder in under 18?
  • ispshadow, on 12/09/2007, -0/+4Holy ***** fail Batman!
