Distasteful, surely, but are we going to legislate tastefulness now? Look out Paris, Lindsey and Britney!

A Maryland lawmaker has proposed a bill to castrate all pickup trucks which have plastic testicles hanging from the trailer hitch. He thinks it's unhealthy for the kids to see them. Apparently the legislator is thinking of the children. So are pedophiles.

How dare he condem pick-up trucks to extinction by castrating all the males, just so he doesn't have to see balls everywhere?

Serious mode, engage!

Why is it a problem for children to see plastic testicles exaclty? Half of them(give or take) have a set of the real thing attached to them, should we snip them off too?

I have to ask, how do you find these stories?

My guess is that he's a freelance journalist and he writes them himself.

Anyway, why are these people complaining? We aren't going to ban explicit art in museums, pictures of women or bull testicles on trucks aren't much different. Why can't lawmakers ever spend their time on something worthwhile?

If only Rupert Murdoch had decided to publish The Sun in America rather than open up Fox...

well those are pretty high on the list of tacky decorations for your car.

i dont think they have much chance of damaging children but i would appreciate them never being used by any truck owner in my area.
EDIT***

they do make your truck look rather under-endowed.

In my city, we have here an overpass that is completely choked with vendors that sell vibrators!!! That guy has to come over here and see the wide array of vibrators to choose from, all in plain sight, in broad daylight!

I saw once an anatomically correct penis in front of a framed picture of the Virgin Mary (oh the irony!), both for sale. (and even more ironic) The overpass will lead you to the side where the church is.

What the fuck is wrong with the retards at that company? They don't offer a set in brass. If I was going to hang a pair of nuts on my vehicle I'd want it to have a set of big brass balls.

Anyway, see if you've got brass balls on this quiz.

I got Ricky Roma, which is good because part of my job is sales.

I hate those stupid balls...but whatever! And the pickups HERE use metal balls, not some pansy ass plastic ones! Was this the same area that wanted to ban mudflaps with women in provocative poses on them? Pshaw. Oh, I see from the article that it was Arizona wanting that.

No, all children in Maryland are already forced to wear those huge cone thigns around their necks that prevent them from licking themselves or scratching their ears.

What's strange about that? It provides jobs and keeps the insurance bill for gas stations lower.

Because people sometimes leave New Jersey and when encountering a self-service station and being expected to pump their own gas, mayhem occasionally ensues. :p

Why would anyone leave New Jersey?

I think a more prudent question is: How can we prevent them from leaving from now on? ;)
