Tofu Taboo! ... or, Tofu Snafu! ... F-U Tofu? - *Shrug*

As if this hasn't already received enough media attention, but I just can't help myself. A Colorodo vegan, Kelly Coffman-Lee, wanted to show off how much she loved tofu on her gas-guzzling SUV.
She put in a request for a license plate that would read "ILVTOFU," which was to read as "I love tofu." While this is all well and good in theory, on paper it just didn't "sit well" with the Department of Motor Vehicles. They felt as though the letters could be interpreted as inappropriate or profane. I can't say I disagree, since when I first saw the image, I saw "I LV TO FU" before I saw "I LV TOFU."
A shame it was denied, though. Those stuck in traffic behind her will have a bit less to laugh about.
I wish I had more witty things to say about it, but the story in itself just blows me away.
