Oh nuts, you just had to post this in News/Activism? :)

It’s for the children... Seriously, come on, what’s next, pants on doggies so that kids might not see testicles on animals? Come on.

State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue because it could distract other drivers.

Anyone who puts these on his trucks should get ticketed for being a moron.

What Einstein came up with this stupid idea. To me shows a person with a very low I.Q.

He said the idea came from a constituent whose young daughter spotted an example of the trail hitch adornment and asked her father to explain it.

"'I didn't know what to tell her,'" Spruill said the constituent told him before Spruill vowed to stop such displays.

Reminds me of the joke about an irate wife who castrated her husband while driving down the road ... and threw his "member" out the window

A man and his daughter were following and when the "member" hit their windshield, the girl asked her father what had happened.

When he explained that they had hit a bird she replied "that bird sure had a big d__k."

I only mine were that big...

The sight of testicles doesn't distract me. Rep. Spruill's mileage may vary.

Does this have anything to do with a lockbox?

These things are silly and tasteless, but no more distracting than bumper stickers, license plate frames, or assorted crap in the back window. Mr. Spruill needs a pay cut if he’s got enough state time on his hands for this bill.

I’m surprised there is not some existing law or regulation that covers this.

I suppose then, that absent some new law, there is no legal complaint to be made if your neighbor decides to mount a giant penis on the front of his car as a hood ornament, or make his mailbox in the form of a large vagina. I don’t see how those situations are any different.

With those giant dangling testicles, there must be a big pr!ck that goes with them, and usually he is sitting in the driver’s seat.

The first time I saw these I almost got into an accident I was laughing so hard.

[coop71]

Sigh. Technically, they aren’t testicles. The offending item is called a “scrotum”. A scrotum holds the testicles. I can go on, but I think most folks here know what I’m saying.

Geez, these people need some basic sex education!

"'I didn't know what to tell her,'" Spruill said

I'd tell my daughter what it was. Then I would explain why it is considered tacky and vulgar to most people, the assumptions people make about the owner of such a decoration, and the importance of conducting yourself with class and dignity if you want to make a good impression on those around you.

OK, I hate to admit I have this much knowledge on this subject but here goes........I live in SE Texas and the ..uh...dangling bumper ornament is not supposed to represent human organs. Most of the “ornaments” are on ranchers or farmers trucks (most likely their sons) and are supposed to represent a bull scrotum. Bull scrotums can even be found in the local boot store, coated with polyurethane, suspended by rawhide from a small,wooden tripod and filled with candy. Help yo-self.
