AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Maine vegan whose custom license plate contains the word “tofu” is one of the motorists caught in a state crackdown on vulgar tags.

Car owners across the United States can pay an extra fee to customize license plates, sparking creativity and personality but causing headaches for state officials who have to decide what’s acceptable.

Maine had for several years allowed people to put just about any combination of letters and numbers on their vehicle plates, including words and phrases that other states would ban. But the state decided to change course and this year recalled 274 plates it deemed inappropriate.

Some people are fighting back.

So far the state has rejected all of the appeals, including one brought by the vegan whose license plate referenced tofu.

quote:

Heather Libby and her best friend grudgingly gave up their matching license plates that contained a word for a female dog.

“People are so sensitive nowadays,” said Libby, of Jonesport, after a hearing examiner rejected her appeal. “I just think it’s foolish.”

When the state effectively ended the review process for so-called vanity license plates in 2015, some residents filled their plates with all manner of profanities, including F-bombs, either spelled out or abbreviated.

That license plate is pretty awesome, and people in Maine are cool as shite, so I’d say let them keep it.

You’ve gotta feel bad for them. With a shitbird like that for a dad they never stood a chance.

You might not agree with them, I sure as hell don't.. frick tofu.. But I think its stupid to consider that vulgar just because some people might take it the wrong way.

But at the same time, if I were that son, when I got older and in HS I would tell people it means "love to frick" so people wouldn't think my dad was a pussy.

It's not often I see the father with crazy eyes in a fricked up family, but he's got the crazy eyes.

The intended reading is more offensive. Freaking soys.
