Fake IDs usually attempt to look real, but I guess not all the time.

One man in the UK thought a fraudulent driver's license was an excellent opportunity to crack a joke. The Guardian reports the driver was pulled over in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire last week when he presented law enforcement with a driver's license that read "Homer Simpson." (Yes, really—I can't make this up.)

The spoof license was complete with The Simpsons character's photo, signature, and Springfield address, which was posted on Twitter by the Thames Valley Police Department.

The driver's car was seized and he was reported for driving with no insurance and driving without a proper licence.

Having a fake ID wasn't the only offense the driver faced. BBC reports the vehicle was seized by officers since it was not insured. D'oh is right!
