John Mayer took to his twitter to say that he isn’t a douche
“Showbiz types are people who grew up talking to themselves alone in a room for hours until they found some sort of outlet. Once they found that outlet, everything fell into place, except for the fact that they still never worked out why they still talk so much. So you see, though filled with deep emotional voids that can never be filled, Showbiz Types are an important part of our Nation’s tapestry. I’m a Showbiz Type. (cue penny whistle and marching drums) But I am not a douche!!” the singer added.

Michigan is about to join the long list of states that sell specialty plates, and you’ll be able to get a Red Wings plate or a God plate.
