Unfortunately, no one driving through Colorado will be seeing the personalized license plate "ILVTOFU" anytime soon, thanks to the DMV's rejection of the message as "possibly offensive to the general public."
Wait, what? How is loving tofu offensive? (Aside from this video, of course.)
As it turns out, the license-plate approver had an entirely different interpretation of the message, as in I-LV-TO-eff-you.
While it's a creative interpretation, it's not exactly what the Colorado mother of three vegetarian kids had in mind. Hopefully, with a little explanation and maybe even a tasty sample of the jiggly white stuff, the rejection will be overturned and her car can become the vegetarian-message-on-wheels that it was meant to be.
How about you? Do you have a personalized plate with an animal rights message? Spill the details below.

Where I live, our license plates have a 4-letter 3-number format. Just in our parking lot this morning I have seen government-issued plates reading "AYNS" and "AZFK"... and I'm so offended!!!

Michelle is right on this one. The Colorado DMV most likely didn't see it as "I Luv Tofu" but as "I Luv To F. U." Most other drivers would have seen that as well. She needs to either re-think her vanity plate idea or get a license plate frame affirming her vegetarianism.
