Tofu-loving license plate rejected by DMV
CENTENNIAL - A Centennial woman's love of tofu has her involved in a conflict with the DMV.

Kelley Coffman-Lee is a vegetarian who requested a personalized license plate that would read "I love tofu" using these letters "ILVTOFU."

She says she wanted to show her support for a vegetarian lifestyle. The DMV originally approved her request, but later denied it saying the license plate could be offensive.

1. I can see why
Because the first thing I saw wasn't I love tofu, it was "I love to FU" (fuck you). Dirty mind, I know.

I love to F.U.

20. Who are you calling a moran?
that's exactly what I thought it meant when I saw it but I've been accused of having a warped sense of humor and dirty mind. There's no way that plate would be allowed.

6. We can't have pornography addicts deciding what goes on our license plates.
Ms Coffman-Lee should get her plate.

You don't have to look at porn to see the big F.U. on her license plate.

edit: besides, whats your beef with porn? do you want to outlaw porn in addition to guns?

21. I have no problems with pornography.
I do think it's detrimental to society to have an unhealthy obsession of a few twisted individuals determine public policy - like seeing nothing but sex in a license plate.

Sort of like your obsession with guns.

22. I guess since STFUMAN was taken
she was going to take a slightly different tack.

26. Ha ha ha ha ha!!
Why didn't she go for TOFU LVR, or was that taken?

I'm sure all those horny fellahs following her home after reading her plate would have also been people who loved to...fu!!!
