Colorado woman's tofu license plate judged X-rated

DENVER (AP) — One Colorado woman's love for tofu has been judged X-rated by state officials.

Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her fondness for bean curd by
picking certain letters for her SUV's license plate.

Her suggestion for the plate: "ILVTOFU."

But the Division of Motor Vehicles blocked her plan because they thought the
combination of letters could be interpreted as profane.

Says Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch:
"We don't allow 'FU' because some people could read that as street language for sex."


Officials meet periodically to ensure state plates stay free of letters that
abbreviate gang slang, drug terms or obscene phrases.

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

Those stuffed shirts at the DMV have no sense of humor. I can understand not allowing actual profanity on license plates but this one (regardless of her intent) is harmless.

Yep
Plus I have this thing about never giving a penny to the state that I am not legally required to. I just wouldnt pay the extra fee for a vanity tag.
