I found this to be hilarious!

Her driver’s license application will be on display in all DMV locations
SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – May 19, 2008 – The California Department of Motor Vehicles has never been known as the most user-friendly agency in the state, but at least it doesn’t shy away from giving credit where credit is due. On Friday, May 30, it will unveil a 9-foot-by-12-foot replica of the driver’s license application filled out in April by pop singer Avril Lavigne.
Calling it the “worst, most brutalized and aborted application ever submitted in the long and storied history of the California DMV,” director Ed Brussels said the DMV will use Lavigne’s application as a motivational tool for other first-time licensees.
“The state of California has a very high number of Hispanic and Asian citizens, many of whom have never driven but want to, and many of whom are not native speakers of English,” Brussels said on Monday. “By hanging Ms. Lavigne’s application in every DMV location, we’ll encourage these citizens to not be intimidated by our application process. We’ll show them that if she can do it, anybody can do it.”
Brussels, who has worked in varying capacities for the department for 27 years, said that as soon as Lavigne turned in her application on April 4 at the Van Nuys office, staff there immediately forwarded it to him in Sacramento.
“Well, not immediately,” Brussels corrected himself. “The staff had to wait until they were coherent again after laughing and rolling around on the floor for about thirty minutes.”
The creation of the poster of Lavigne’s application was handled by Sherwin Adams & Associates, a Fresno public relations firm specializing in the music industry and services for the mentally handicapped. Titled “Don’t Do This!” the poster will show both sides of the application surrounded by turquoise flowers.
“We thought it was a nice touch,” Brussels said, “seeing as her trademark color is turquoise.”
When told that Lavigne’s trademark color is pink, Brussels said, “Well, if she wants to change the poster, we’re going to need to do another eye check and have her step over to line 45 and take a number.”
Lavigne, recuperating from laryngitis in her hometown of Napanee, Ontario, Canada, was thrilled to hear the news.
“This is so great for me, because people who might not have ever heard of me will get to know who I am,” she said Monday. “All those Mexicans and whatever else, they come from countries that a lot of times don’t even have running toilets. Well now they’ll know my name and can go right out after they get their driver’s license and buy my CDs!”
Added Lavigne, “It was my first application for a license, even though I’ve been driving in California for years without one. I really like California. They have a ton of cool stores.”
Here is a reformatted version of the first page of Lavigne’s driver’s license application.
