Tofu-luvin license plate reject'd by DMV [04.07.09]
A Colorado 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."This individual's emotions for coagulated soy milk would be kept in check if she had the extra cripsy, totally fried OBX bean
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.
If you use your imagination you can see an alternate, steamier meaning for the letters.
"Some people could misinterpret what she loves," said Mark Couch with the Colorado Dept of Revenue. He says the dept must uphold standards of decency.
"There are many people who would see that and be offended. So we have to be aware of it and take care of it," Couch said.
Coffman-Lee is amused, but disappointed. "There are a lot of dirty-minded people out there," she said.
