I'm sure some of you have seen them, human testicles hanging on the back of vehicles from the undercarriage (usually trucks) - while I'm sure everyones opinion may differ on this - I think they should be banned because out on the road young children can see it and I don't think it's appropriate for a 10 year old girl to see that getting off the bus stop..

Article:

Today, a Chesapeake lawmaker plans to introduce a bill that will ban "truck nuts" from your truck or SUV.

The nutty idea is the brainchild of Delegate Lionell Spruill. We're talking about the fake testicles people hang on the backs of their vehicles. Spruill's bill would ban anything on a car or truck that looked like human genitalia.

"Yeah, I definitely think those should be outlawed. I don't approve of that," says one local woman we talked to.

But others think its no big deal.

"Nah, that's not vulgar, that's funny," says one man.

Spruill says these types of dangling do-dads are tacky, vulgar, and downright embarassing. It still has a long way to go before it ever becomes law.

"It comes to a point where there are certain things you just can't do. And putting testicles on the back of a truck is just too much. So I am trying to stop it," he tells NewsChannel 3 in an interview.

Spruill says the idea for the bill came to him after the daughter of one of the people in his district saw a pair of the testicles hanging from the back of a truck in traffic. That's when Spruill put the bill in action. Although he says he hasn't found anyone to co-sponsor it with him.

I heard about this and people talking about it a little while back.
I remember when I worked at Greenway Dodge there was this Ram with blue balls hangin on the back. They pissed me off man! I was under the truck bringin it up in the air on the stands, they were all in my face and stuff.

Hahah! Its funny but I think theyre stupid. Sometimes they fit the car well.

 

Its funny I see this posted here. Chesapeake is like 45 minutes from me. I watched the news about it last night.


Welcome to the Commonwealth of Virginia....

 

hhah the first time i ever saw them i was like "are these...no way...yes they are." but after the first time i just thought it was kinda vulgar to have some balls hanging from a car. it doesn't offend me, i just find it distasteful, but i can see how people are upset about the balls.

 

i don't like when people do that, and won't miss them when they're gone

 

The first time I ever saw them I kind of laughed, they were a bland shape that you could leave to your imagination to figure out what they were. A clever joke at best, I didn't think it would catch on too much.

Now, they are graphically detailed in some cases complete with with skin, veins and hair. Gone are the bland two steel ball designs and replaced with pretty disgusting lope-sided sacks. Nothing gets left to the imagination, worse yet they are catching on as some huge redneck must-have fad, generally accompanied with the confederate flag (on another topic it surprises me how many Canadian rednecks display this flag out here).

Anyway, I agree with the law. Generally I am all for rights and expressing yourself, however I draw the line when those rights are abused and start affecting people around them. Nobody wants to sit there behind some jacked up truck looking at that distasteful crap. What's next, a giant d!ck that doubles as a zap strap. Enough is enough, the joke is over and the poor horse was beat to death a year ago.

 

agreed, i always thought rednecks were the only ones that thought they were amusing.

next we should try to get rid of the calvin-peeing-on ____ stickers, because those are just played out too.

 

It's about time. It's a funny joke, but to have little kids exposed to these detailed pieces off the back of any vehicle is wrong. I mean if trucks can get away with testicles on the back of their cars, how bout I put a big dildo sticking out the front of my bumper? Damn truck balls...if you have them on the outside of your truck, you sure as hell don't have them inside your pants...

 

I wouldn't go as far as to say its offensive... I'm more offended by "baby on board" banners than this.

 

Yeah these things are about as red neck as you can get..And stupid, and not really funny. They should be illegal.

First time I saw those things my first reaction was "WTF?". It didnt bother me though, just kinda shrugged my shoulders and thought oh yeah this guy just needs more attention and wants to show the world. Whatever. But I can see the point about kids. However in my opinion its not any worse than some of the lowrider paint jobs I have seen with naked men and women, etc. Or people with tattoo sleeves depicting the same kind of thing, if not worse.

 

Yeah they need to watch out for those "custom" paint jobs. It's cool to be different, but vulgar images are not necessary. If that is legal, who's to stop you from plastering your car with Playboy Centerfolds? Why should rubber molded testicles be treated any differently than porn?!?!

 

My neighbor has blue ones hanging from his truck. To be honest, all I could do was laugh.

 

All male dogs and cats should also be castrated by law, as to not expose our children to male testicles.

 

hahah i just saw some tan ones today hanging from this lifted chevy pickup. it made me think of this thread.

 

lmao :P the shiny gold ones are bad, but skin colored?

 

hahah yeah flesh colored man. i had to come back to this thread because i saw the same truck again tonight when i was going to pick my friend up!

 

aaaah, but they're so fuzzy and cute! My husband is always saying to our castrated male cat (Jeebus), "Get a pair". Now that's just mean.

 

probabaly wont be awhile

 

i wont miss them. but you know this is kinda off topic but my buddy got the idea from a truck dude for his reindeer lights during Christmas. he put a set on them moving reindeer. i thought it was quite funny.

but when i am at a stop light. and a lifted f250 with a big COCK hanging from the rear, it was kinda disturbing...all i could see is a dildo hanging from the back of the truck. i am surprised that they don't get in trouble for that kinda stuff.
