Colorado Bans Woman's 'Tofu' License Plate

[KenTeel]

Interesting.... the interpretation of an acronym. It looks like the state is looking after the beef industry rather than trying to protect people from their own imaginations. So some people might misinterpret this? Wouldn't any acronym be subject to misinterpertation based on any possible combination of words with leading first letters? (may you carnivores jam your arteries up quickly so we don't have to read your postings.)

[DwyaneWadeCounty]

I-LV-TO-F-U



[GoldSnacks]

I-LV-TO-FU huh..

[xavier415]

Fing censorship. So what she likes to f*%k give her a break.

[coffeeandsugar20]

Vegan pussy. She deserved it.

[realword27]

my license plate says "smoke 1" AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK!!!!

[100percentofu]

That was my license plate.

[weebs28]

1984ish because you can't have your vanity plate? Geez some people need more hardship in their life if this is what they bitch about.

[andrew98us]

I love TOFU.. Tofu is a food!!!

[bestamerica]

'

mark couch for DMV / DoR is a wrong,,,

a lady is right to have her own name of title,,,

ILVTOFU is a - i love to fun -,,,

[tofudoreymakeup]

my nickname is Tofu and i wanted to have IM TOFU on my plate and Nevada wouldnt let me have it either. I was mad, but they let me have TOFUPLR [Tofu PLUR (Peace Love Unity Respect)] so i think its because it has FU at the end

[DaGiSaProductions]

We are omnivores- end of discussion.

[Eliza9696]

@DaGiSaProductions We are because we choose to be, not because we're supposed to

[TKGiCoNiC]

IM NOT OFFENDED! HAHAHA

[LunarPiecesof8]

My State DMV on-line vanity plate search engine refused this same plate claiming it violated obscenity guidelines. However what they will allow is if I omit the first person reference behind what they infer is obscene. I.E. "luv tofu".

No surprise. George Orwell's "1984" novel was prophetic more than fiction.

[BigWiz2345]

she no's she wants her license plate to mean i love to fuck you not i love tofu shes just tryin to push it untill she gets it

[RumbleBee2113]

lmao i love to fuck too!!!!

[KillerDusk7]

ILOVETOFU. Oh! I love to fuck! I got it as i was writing this comment lol

[KillerDusk7]

Vegans don't want animals to be hurt,but don't want people breeding cows.She should learn to respect other peoples point of views

[maybrook1]

I'd give it to her.

[gman77dt]

@maybrook1 lmaoo

[slowshow111]

god people are so rude sometimes, dont know what to do.

[metagear89]

i love to fuck you

[Gh3d3]

lol i love to fu

[shaynezirra]

..... Her car was covered with stickers supporting the vegan lifestile. I guess you COOOOULD take it the wrong way and it IS funny but that man (mark couch) trys to hard, Go sit on your self hahahahahahahahahah

[Mrtraveler01]

I got to admit I thought of the dirty intrepretation of it first, but I just laughed it off.

[animematt]

I bet she would want anyone with a meat or hunting based plate or bumper sticker to remove it.

I feel sorry for her kids. They should be checked to see if they are getting proper nutrition.

[Eliza9696]

Why would you feel sorry for her kids? Oh, I see. You don't understand anything about nutrition. Carry on then, but it's best to know what you're talking about before spouting off baseless nonsense

[n3rdbear]

Vegans lack proper nutrition and have only short amounts of energy. Which is why there's never any muscular vegans. If there was ever a natural disaster in a vegan township, they're as good as dead lol

[sentrynebri]

@n3rdbear, there is a scientific backing of why vegans actually have MORE energy than meat consuming people; there is a higher energy level concentration in plants than animals, as the energy passed down on the food diminishes the higher you go. They aren't muscular because the nutrients needed to form muscles are found only in small amounts in ordinary plants. They still can, however, get their nutrients from nuts and eggs (which I still think is kind of an animal) O.o

[KillerDusk7]

@sentrynebri I say eggs are aborted chickens.I don't like eggs.They smell bad

[Eliza9696]

What you just said is completely false. There actually ARE vegan bodybuilders, but the reason most vegans aren't ripped is because it's not a priority for them. Vegans get plenty of protein anyway. Don't mean to rant, but it's so frustrating how people who no absolutely nothing about nutrition spread disinformation without looking up any of the facts. One of the facts is that I'm 10 times healthier since I went vegan. I actually have more energy. Humans aren't meant to eat meat bro.

[DimitriDuit]

@Eliza9696 Actually we are. we belong in the same group as bears and pigs, we are from nature designed to eat both meat and vegetables. That is why our stomachs are herbivore designed along with our back teeth while our front teeth and gutsystem is carnivore. But I respect your choice of life, more bacon for me! ;)

[Eliza9696]

@DimitriDuit Hey man, I'm not trying to convert you, but I do have to correct you. Our intestinal tract is not designed to eat meat. If you look at the bowels of carnivorous animals, you will see that they are short so the meat doesn't stay long in there. Herbivorous animals have long intestines. Humans have long intestines. Meat ends up rotting in human intestines because it's in there for so long.

[Robbob9933]

@Eliza9696 Human intestinal tract is roughly the same proportion of all omnivores. No meat does not rot in the intestine and no is does not build up in there. If meat rots tere so does vegitable matter. Well maybe your head if you believe hemopath BS. Did you know there is no true herbivore? Even a cow will eat meat if it found it in a pasture. Chimps engage in war and will actively hunt for meat and the dominate male will beg for it from the most junior troop member.

[Eliza9696]

@Robbob9933 The only way a cow is going to eat meat is if it is fed that or if the meat is just lying there and there's no vegetation to eat and it's starving. I'm not going to debate on the proper diet of cows. They're vegetarians. Everyone knows this. Chimps are omnivores. Look at the teeth. I just saw this video today. Maybe it will help you understand - youtube.com/watch?v=05zhL1YUd8­Q

[Robbob9933]

@Eliza9696 You apparently have never seen a cow out in a very lush green pasture with a dead animal in the pasture. I have and cows make a beeline to it. They don't eat much but they do eat. They will also munch on fallen deer antlers a very good source of minerals. Everyone also knew the Earth was the center of the universe. So your everyone know arguement is crap.

[Eliza9696]

@DimitriDuit And the front teeth, come on. You don't seriously think our short incisors serve the same purpose as those of a lion or bear or or other carnivorous animals do you?

[Robbob9933]

@Eliza9696 Bears are not carnivores but rather omnivores. Lions and all species of cat have proportionally small incisors and so do bears and dogs. Human incisors serve the exact same purpose except for maybe the cats use of them in grooming.

[Eliza9696]

@Robbob9933 "Lions and all species of cat have proportionally small incisors and so do bears and dogs." - You're joking, right? You realize that statement is completely backwards, don't you? I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you seriously think that our incisors are meant to shred meat, you're living in a dream world. Again, sorry for being so being so blunt, but it's just so plainly obvious

[Robbob9933]

@Eliza9696 When you examine the incisors of animals, humans probably have the largest incisors in proportion to the other teeth. If you watch a cat eat meat, it does not use it's incisors, it uses it's molars which are designed like seratted scisors to chop off chunks to swallow. It will use the incisors to pull out feathers and fur

[KillerDusk7]

@Eliza9696 Because she supposedly cares about animals as she does her kids,She's vegans.Look at peta.They car e more about those animals then they do human lives

[EazyTopzi]

I love to boogy down and get funky! I LV TO FU

[DeBurgo]

jesus christ not being able to put "ILVTOFU" on your fucking license plate isn't "a little 1984ish"

[InsectRoyalty]

Yes, but ....well...it's fucking wierd though. How does anyone take offense to that??

[shaynezirra]

EXACTLY!!!!

[JacksInn]

I don't get it.

[timebrewer]

I lv to fu

[unassumingcactus]

sure got a lot of banana riders around here, especially BleedingAnus, he has to leave his markings everywhere he goes.

[n3rdbear]

when I saw BleedingAnus then your comment after it, an image of an anus dripping blood marking the floor anywhere he goes popped in my mind. :|

[Tolrs]

ILVTOFU back at you Shawn Elliot.

[jirotrom]

SHAWN ELLIOT

[Cargo1773]

I think that all the opinion bumper stickers are pointless and a bit annoying, and I think vocal vegans are the among the most obnoxious people to talk to bar none.

That said, I didn't get why they censored this until the second to last time they showed this, I agree that if the first thing you see is I love to f*** you, your mind is in the gutter.

[nludwick1]

seriously, you see something that says

I LV TO FU and you don't think about sex?

[Cargo1773]

There's a small but important difference between ILVTOFU and I LV TO FU, in the first, I think nasty hippie plant, and in the second I think sex.

[Systech217]

Shawn Ellioted to the max!

[tubejay1]

Oh ma gah! I cah baleeve it! You can see exactly wah she stan for righ on her cah! Oh mah GAH!

[Sumguy21]

Could someone point me to the page in 1984 the government censored license plates with sexual innuendos?

[resaf]

she said 1984-ish... don't you have better nits to pick, sum?

[BleedingAnus]

Shawn Elliotted.

[DeathTakesAHoIiday]

i love tofu ... or... i love to fuck you :)

[kinghoho2]

she knew when she wrote it down ,lol give us all a break !!!

[sepman4379]

I lol'd

[LitterboxDiorama]

Apparently she needs the attention from the whole world to know that she loves Tofu ........but we don't, so why tell us? "Hey everybody I love something most people hate...LOOK AT ME!!!....I'm better than you because I eat healthy" see what a vegan diet low in animal protein does to your brain? she looks very pale like a crack addict.

[DetJohnKimbel]

stupid cunt. if she didnt see that after writing it down, she should just drive off a cliff

[walkwithears]

I luvtofu long time. I marinate tofu long time. Then I eat it all in my mouth. It taste so good. See being vegan is hot.

[JoJoJopete]

I thought the VGN sticker meant she loved the now defunct Virginian Railway.

[o0HouzE0o]

i love tofu ... tofu... TOFUCK U BITCH lol

[roy1531]

I doubt that cows create so much methane that it is causing Global warming! LOL, that is just stupid! How many animals in the world are shitting outside and eating plants! SO then, to go with that theory, if everyone was a vegan, that would put more cows out there to eat more grass and shit even more creating more methane gas.

[roy1531]

I have another dumb bumper sticker for her "Help Cure Cancer Eat Meat"

[roy1531]

The only problem I have with this is how in the hell does being a Vegan stop Global Warming?

[nndesananto]

Cows create methane gas which harms the atmosphere, but I think vegans are doing more harm than good because they are eating the plants that use CO2 as food to create oxygen and CO2 is very harmful to the atmosphere

[baudkarma]

And those cows eat what... rocks? Leftover easter eggs? No, they eat plants, and convert it into delicious beef in a very ineffective matter. I don't agree with the vegans, but at least bring some cogent arguments to the table.

[DJE179]

I am guessing as she is Vegan she don't like to FU as thats meat xD

[famousony0utube]

that's great. i love tofu AND i love to fu**

[unwiserflunky]

I bet she does like to fu.

[Snotnarok]

I don't think she needs any more vegan material on her car. We get it, you're a vegan, I'm not and never will be because I enjoy eating what I enjoy, and you enjoy what you enjoy.

[ctdnorthtexas]

ILVTOFH

[eelzen]

What's next? B.J. Thomas fans being denied a

"ILOVEBJ" license plate?!?!

[smldfw]

I thought the VGN sticker was offensive.

[sweetgreggo]

@mountainmay:

Actually, by eating a big ol' bloody steak I'm HELPING the ozone, as I'm sure you are aware cow farts cause global warming.

[Jenjerleigh]

well said, sweetgreggo!  BRAVO!

[Revo33Winz]

I agree and plus if we werent supposed to eat meat why do we have cone shaped teeth? Also this whacko is driving an SUV and telling ppl to save the ozone so she can like a fat one.

[underworld2008live]

i love to fuck ILOVTOFU

[learjettech]

moutainmay, I wish you a speedy recovery from the inevitable heart attack, cancer or cholesterol problem you will have in your life. That entire statement is ridiculous. It's as stupid as a VEGAN thinking they're helping the planet. If she did not procreated would save the planet more.

[lizardfirefighter110]

You all are very funny!

[jaylls25]

iluvsoy

[thorton]

1984ish? Can't you find the humor of what some people might see this as and just shrug it off? Does this really matter that much? Should it be a news story?

[YawnGod]

It *should* be a news story. It *shouldn't* be denied to the woman though.

[Revo33Winz]

Yes it should be denied. It says ILVTOFU even though it means Tofu ppl wont realize that. Plus she needs to keep her vegan malnurished lifestyle choice to herself

[TianSan]

Man what's your problem with her being a vegan? It's not like she's hurting anyone, or cramming religion down someone's throat.

You sound like she's get the plague

[mouser35]

i also love TOFU!

[DIRTYSANCHEZ423]

whore

[DIESELFLIX]

befor I watched the video i seen "I Love to Fuck You!!"

[Stackz2ThaCeiling]

me 2

[s0nnyburnett]

1984ish? No, it's Colorado, not Southern California.

[corneliusdanger]

A vegan driving an SUV? Oh sweet delicious Irony!!

[mountainmay]

there is actually no irony at all. Going Vegan has exponentially more positive impact on fighting global warming than not driving an SUV. In fact just not eating meat for 1 day a week has more impact, not to mention the positive health impact. This woman is definitely on the right track!

[corneliusdanger]

Actually there is, if you're eating beans and tofu and driving an ozone killing gas guzzler, they kinda sorta cancel each other out.

Imagine the massive impact she'd have if she was vegan AND she implemented a mode of transportation that doesn't belch out oxygen raping pollutants at the same time.

If she wanted to save the world she'd be a bike riding vegan.. instead of a hypocrite.

Now if you'll excuse me, my extra bloody steak is getting cold.

[PhilDBowl]

its a suzuki XL-7 .. verry gas efficent..

*shrugs*

could be worse...

[mountainmay]

I highly encourage you to research the point I made above b/c it is true - there is NO comparison and they don't come near canceling each other out. You don't hurt me by mentioning your extra bloody steak, you are only hurting the ozone and your own health.

I wish you a speedy recovery from the inevitable heart attack, cancer or cholesterol problem you will have in your life.

[Revo33Winz]

This bitch is crazy as hell. Being vegan causes all sorts of health problems. Travis Barker is/was a vegan and when he got in that plane crash his skin graphs wouldnt take because of a lack of protein. Vegans are douche bags.

[TianSan]

Tofu is protein packed. It has more protein than steak...

[KrunkoDallas]

no it doesn't - calorie for calorie it has about 70% the protein of steak. it has more calcium and no cholesterol though.

[TianSan]

Um no... Calorie for Calorie it has more protein than steak.

Pound for Pound it does not.

4 oz Steak has 331 calories. 28grams of protein

4 oz Tofu has 94 calories.10.1grams of protein

[KrunkoDallas]

a lean cut of meat has less calories than that - like about 100 less calories. so yeah, a fatty piece of meat wouldn't be as good.

I just don't want others to misinterpret your claims, when it's not *exactly* true in all cases

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

If you really want to show your love for Tofu, don't get a license plate, just keep a glass plate of the soy based substance with you at all time, and kiss it in public often.

[scottthrees]

Tofu is made of Soy Beans.. 90% of Soy Beans are Genetically Modified.. Rats die when they eat it. It changes you genetic makeup when you eat it. Tofu is good for you. When it comes from organic soy products.. Monsanto = DEATH! Know what your eating..

[WeskJago]

hahahaha! that's pretty funny!!...but it's true you see what you want to see, really...her license plate isnt gonna stop the world from turning. i think she expresses herself enough that she shouldnt care THIS much about it being rejected..psh...and i also think that the license people should screw off with thier shitty ass rules...pretty much this story is a waste of time for everybody (whether it made the news or not)

[shataslilrob]

Another Libral Crazy makes the democrats look insane. WTF is wrong with her. Bacons good! (to quote vincent vega)

[jufu999]

Just when you think people can't get any dumber...

[clearwater04]

i wish this was the worst news we had for today DX

[teemuruskeepaa]

"I Love to Fuck You"

[danielinraleigh]

Personally, only perverts who want to see the message that is "offensive" will see it. Everyone else will be adults and get on with their lives without bothering over a damn license plate.

[shataslilrob]

What about children? They shouldn't be exposed to that kind of thing.

[WeskJago]

what ABOUT the children? exposed to what? something they probably wouldnt notice unless you pointed it out? and if they DID think that way, then i think i'd be more worried about where they got that sense of humor - not the license plate.

[shataslilrob]

kids are smart. if you had any you would now that. No matter how much you shelter them, they learn bad things. It's like the britney spears song"If you seek Amy". I didn't get what the big deal was until I saw children on TV explaining that the lyrics sounded like F U C K Me. Out of the mouths of babes. They get it, and I don't want my children exposed to that sort of thing.

[danielinraleigh]

Tell me how old these "kids" and "children" are. I think WeskJago brings up a good point that it isn't the fault of the lady with the license plate that the children see that interpretation. It is from another source from where they came up with the concept, whether it be on a license plate or a pop song. If you don't want your children to live in a plush prison where they are unable to make that interpretation, then watch over them. Us adults shouldn't be your child's part-time babysitter.

[shataslilrob]

This isn't a matter of free speech. It's a matter of couth and manners. I am certain you could never understand that. You probably have to Google couth to see what it means. So I agree to disagree with your assessment.

[WeskJago]

like...the license plate - kids see it and say "GASP! IT SAYS I LOVE TO...*whispers*...eff you..." so you go through the whole lecture...where did you hear that?...you cant to say that....it's an offensive word.. then you explain what the license plate really says and have an intelligent convo with your smart kid that figured out what we always tried to hide them from.

...it's common psychology that if you try to hide something from somebody, they'll be more intent on finding out what it is

[WeskJago]

this lady's kid is IN this whole news story for god sakes! if she didnt know what the eff word was before she most likely picked up on it now just for being around to hear the whole story and then watch it again when it's aired. cant say she's not intelligent to know what they're talking about in the story itself. she's not just like "oh mommy's on tv"...

[danielinraleigh]

Actually, this is a matter of free speech, as it involves whether or not a woman has the protection of free speech in putting up a license plate expressing her love of tofu because the government wants to protect the sensibilities of some over-protective parents would be upset that their kids might mis-interpret what is said on the plate that they could only see if they have the concept of the "f word". And I'll Google "couth" as soon as you do the same for "Ad Hominem".

[WeskJago]

ahhhh. i see now. i see where you're coming from but, in my opinion, censoring things like the license plate is pretty pointless still. because, as you said, the kids already know no matter how much you shelter them. it's part of our crazy world and they'll learn those stupid words one way or another.

what we have to do as adults is not censor them from the obvious things they can pick up on and just explain to them that it's grown-up talk and they're not aloud to say them...right?

[danielinraleigh]

Tell me of any POSSIBLE situation in which a child can POSSIBLY read it as saying "I love to Fuck"!

[halzar]

I agree children shouldn't be exposed to TOFU! it's a dangerous food

[TikiKiti1960]

omgosh...i thought this was a free country, no matter what the meaning behind it....come on...yeah, i agree too much time on someones hands LOL...

[sudiin]

Hahahaha! In a country which supposedly produces 80% of the world's porn...

In case someone doesn't get it, just try to continue "I love to fu....", although at first it baffled me as well, it's not at all that evident.

This pure hypocrisy is the same as that which Kurt is talking about in Apocalyse Now:

"They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders

won't allow them to write fuck on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

[BlayneDouglas]

What's also interesting is that in 2009 we're still referring to sex and the act of sex as "dirty-minded".

[LadyAngelaGray]

Yeah that's a really good point. In America it's OK to beat the crap out of someone and people will cheer! But express affection and people get freaked out! And besides. When I first say it before watching the video I was like what? Banning it? I didn't think it said anything other than I luv Tofu! Yeah for Veggies!!!!

[BlayneDouglas]

:-) Right... and I don't need some government goon deciding what's offensive to me.

[nludwick1]

Yeah still a pretty sad state here in the states concering any sort of actual "adult" education. Most parents still don't and will not talk about sex and drugs with their children, at least not anything more than use protection or don't do it, or the tooth fairy(sorry god) is going to eat you if ya do it before marriage, sex that is, still not sure what the tooth fairy says about drugs. Yet blowing shit up and cutting heads off, NO PROB!

[wavefool]

Colorado: I wonder if anyone there realized that "you" is not spelled with a "u". Can't be upsetting the conservative

Colorado ass hats now I mean wtf. I applied for "Bush is a gigantic zit on the ass of a skunk" they said it was already taken, crap..

[TikiKiti1960]

LMAO

[fnovax]

Wait..whats the subliminal message behind ILVTOFU? is tofu suppose to mean something other than that white blob?

[LeFoiHyene]

Instead of "I love tofu", it could be read as "I love to fu" lol.

[AfricanAnime]

*sighs*

WAY too much time on your hands folks....

[daguy1234]

That's just stupid.

[adoncapone]

I don't get it....how can one get offended by this? People are so fuckin' stupid.

[Nickk361]

Fuck you PETA!!!
