Okay, now even if you dislike these things (which I do, but suspect I'd find more disagreement w/ the driver's of these vehicles) how the hell can you justify it?
And this story says a daughter wondered what they were... well, if she's never seen an animal before, I guess you're free to lie to her if it makes you feel better. But better put diapers on those dogs. A girlfriend of mine grew up in a farming community, and I can guarentee she knew what testicals were from a young age... and also how to castrate animals and all sorts of vile things. She doesn't seem to be stunted by this knowledge.
Really though, when do we learn to live and let live? This is stupid. If anything could make me tape some balls on my vehicle, a bill like this is it.

Testicles face snip
A controversial Virginia lawmaker is trying to introduce new legislation to ban rubber testicles from being fitted to the back of trucks.
Rubber testicles being fitted to the back of a truck /PA pics.
Lionel Spruill, known for his failed attempt in 2005 to ban baggy pants, (my emphasis) says the motivation for his latest idea came from a constituent.
The man complained that he had been left speechless when his six-year-old daughter spotted a pair and asked him what they were.
Mr Spruill agreed to act: "I said, 'Sir, I'm going to be the laughing stock, but I'm going to do it'," he told the Virginian-Pilot.
Truck drivers who sport fake testicles on the back of their vehicles would risk a $250 fine under his proposal.
"They're offensive to some folks," said Mr Spruill, a Chesapeake Democrat. "It's OK to express yourself, but citizens have the right not to be subjected to something vulgar."
Spruill said he became concerned when he learned that the truck accessories had got larger as their popularity had increased.
"How big are they going to go?" he said. "When will it stop?"
But John Saller, owner of bullsballs.com, laughed off Mr Spruill's campaign. He said he sold several hundred thousand last year, ranging in size from two-and-a-half to 10 inches.
"It's a novelty. It's funny. It doesn't have anything to do with being macho," he insisted.

Apparently this legislater is black, which was surprising to me. I expected some good old boy poindexter or fatty republican guy trying to pass this stuff, while they drink whisky and beat the wife in their upper-middle class home... guess that's my own internal prejudices showing themselves again.

A lot of things are offensive to some folks, but that doesn't give the government the right to outlaw them. If we outlaw everything that some people find offensive, there would be nothing legal left. I really wish the founding fathers had required at least average intelligence or better to be a requirement for holding public office.

It's genatalia, on a truck....
*shrugs*
When I see them, I just feel embarassed for ther person driving because they obviously have not idea how stupid people think they are....
But, the other day, I saw a truck that had two 3" Galvenized Threaded Nuts (the counterpart of bolts) hanging from their bumper on a cable.
That was crafty...
Whenever my wife sees bumpernuts, she always says..
"I wanna big pink pussy for my bumper"

Clever... though plastic nuts (the counterpart of plastic bolts) would probably be safer.

Do they not have these in the land of windmills?
We've got plenty of good old boys sportin a pair around here... not too common, but still something you see.
Then again, we're the land of huge trucks with one driver and no cargo...

I can't even tell what the guy is saying...
Besides teh crazy accent, what is that, where all his words are slurred, stroke?
It doesn't seem like he has quite mastered talking coherently (even if I could understand him).

just thought i would let you guys know that there are retards with voting power out there. as of this past week, voters of riviera beach(45 mins south of me) voted to BAN the showing of underwear out of your pants, i believe this is the same thing that this guy was working on. if your underwear are hanging out of your underwear and they are visible, it is punishable by fine first and second offense, and i believe the third time you can be arrested.
apparently the old fucks down here have nothing better to do with their time.

yeah, I hate those proposed laws.
indecent exposure is allready a crime
now showing undergarments are?
What is the definition? ANything under your pants? So if you where two sets of underwear, and only the first is visible, that's a crime? And the basketball team that tears of their warmups, exposing the shorts underneath, is guilty?
And the folks who wear their boxers high, above their pantsline, are guilty when this is visible? But the person that wears no underwear, and exposes his bare back, the same skin covered by the boxers in the previous case, is not guilty? Who is more indecent?
Is a woman wearing a swimming suit that pokes out of her pants guilty? What about when she takes the pants off, leaving only the bikinii bottom, is she guilty then?
What about the guy wearing the swimming trunks, baggy, that are exposed above the sweatpants, guilty? How about when he takes the sweatpants off, no longer guilty?
Its not a crime to swim in your boxers, or your panties (which are pretty much bikini bottoms anyways) so what is the difference?
The definitions are problematic. The reductions are absurd. Harbingers of a bad law.
Those showing genitals and ass can allready be prosecuted. Those showing undergarments don't need to be.
