Trucks and their unwelcome appendages…sometimes I just want to neuter ‘em (March 14, 2008)

IMO it's public indecency. If you can't walk around with your real ones hanging out, you shouldn't get to drive around with fake ones hanging off the back of your truck. :P

LMAO! The fake testicles can go, but I would buy one of your bumper stickers even though I don't own a bully. I think my contribution would go to a good cause ( assuming you didn't have them printed in China) and the looks I'd would make for free entertainment.

Oh yes, here we go down the slippery slope of big brother once again. I see the balls all the time...In NJ...not even in a "hick" state...Who cares?...are they any more disgusting then the 16 yr old spitting on the street? or the old man adjusting himself in the grocery store? what's the government going to try and regulate next?...I am somewhat conservative, but I am also tired of a government that is obviously already broken itself trying to regulate that kind of thing when there are way more important things "broken"...I'd like to see them legislate themselves first.
(and I have a sign in my window that say nuckenfutz...) people need to be offended by the oil companies 10 billion dollar profits...and us paying $4.00/gal for gas....not a pair of rubber balls hanging from the back of a truck.

people and I mean younger people...obviously never read "1984" in school....if they did, they wouldn't be inviting youtube into so much of their lives willingly. much more important than "Lord of the flies"

Of course, the balls are gross- but why do they get banned over the half naked women or all naked women stuck on vehicles? I mean- they're usually more noticeable then the balls a-swinging.

I live in an agricultural small town in Oklahoma, home to the state's veterinary school and several prominent ranchers, horse breeders, etc. Needless to say, everyone here drives a truck, and brightly colored faux testicles hang from trailer hitches of most. I think they're tacky and unattractive, but they seem to match the personalities of the swaggering, Wrangler-jeans wearing occupants. While I roll my eyes when I see them, I think it's ridiculous to try and ban them. Really, aren't there more important things to worry about?

Goofy, goofy people. I think the fake testicales are extremely tastless, but one of my neighbors has them on his little hatchback (I think it's a Focus?) and it makes me snicker every time I see this tiny little car- whose assigned parking place is between my full-sized pickup and another neighbor's F350, as it's the only thing on this side of the complex that fits into that spot- with it's GIANT BALLS OF DOOM.

I agree, they're completely tasteless…but enough with the laws banning bad taste.

These thing are a perfect indicator that this is a person I don't want to know. It's even better than having moron tattooed on their forehead. :)

Oh, there's more Dr. Patty! Not OK or TN, but perhaps becoming more like KS. Of course this bill was sponsored by the House and in the Senate by men.
First trimester ultrasounds required before abortions:

And I think some guy last year tried to get a law passed about those low rider pants with underwear and/or butt cracks showing. I think it failed.

Aren't we in economic crisis here? Can't do anything about real problems so they have to make some up? One thing for sure, I think all those people will get tossed out come next election if they don't tend to business.

Oh and there's this businesst:

CathyA: Yeah, they tried the plumber-pants law down here, too. I didn't pay much attention to it but I gather it's not being enforced even if it did pass...;-)
