In Tofu Obscenity News

[joepunk]

In Denver, the DMV has denied a women's tofu-vanity license plate:

DENVER (AP) — Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her love of tofu by picking the letters for her car's license plate. But her tofu fondness ran into a snafu at the Division of Motor Vehicles, which blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane. Her suggestion for the plate on her Suzuki: "ILVTOFU."
Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch said the letters could be misinterpreted.

Coffman-Lee, 38, said tofu is a staple of her family's diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message.

I think thats a crazy thing to have on a license plate, and because it took my a couple trys to get here it is broken down:

I LV TO F U

Would it be illegal to put the full phrase as a bumper sticker on her car? If not, what's the big deal of it being on her license plate?

FU Denver, just kidding. I love my city, but I can understand them not wanting what it looks like it's saying on a plate.

The government didn't say it was illegal, they just said they would not make it for her, just as they wouldn't make a bumper sticker that says the same thing.

I think they should let her have it. People can take it how they want. It's freedom of expression.

They do have heart symbols for license plates.

She could do this:

I(heart symbol)(space)TOFU

Oh come on, ILVTOFU could very possibly stand for: I LV TO Fondle Unicorns, and since when did fondling mythical creatures come off as rude? Oh that beautiful horn....

Haha multiple tries? Someone doesn't have a dirty mind? =p

Um, someone is on it already

I think they said no as more of a safety thing. Could you imagine the tailgating she would have to deal with. Not to mention the number of people following her home or blowing their horns and wildly gesturing. Poor thing, driving along innocently thinking, "I never knew so many people loved tofu..."
