A PETA employee named Whitney Calk from Tennessee is apparently a big fan of the bean curd, and she says she wanted to proclaim her love of tofu on her license plate. Unfortunately, the State of Tennessee decided that I-LV-TOFU looked eerily similar to I-LV-TO-FU…
Look closely at the two possible spellings and it’s easy to see why the authorities decided to lay down the law. In fact, Tennessee points out that it’s not the only state to ban that plate – it’s also verboten in Colorado, Florida and Virginia.
For its part, PETA has issued a press release asking Tennessee to reconsider. Cynics might argue that the whole shebang was merely an attempt to generate press for the animal rights organization, which may certainly be the case.

Either way way I still hate PETA and I’ll interpret it as I-LV-TO-FU because baby you are the only Tenn-I-See (;
Does this mean I can't have Mike Ock as my licence plate?
