Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2008State moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN4O32105020080425 TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state. Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz" and resemble the south end of a bull moving north. The Florida Senate voted last week to add the measure to a broader transportation bill, but it is not included in the House version. In a spirited debate laced with double entendre, Senate lawmakers questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories. Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested. The bill's sponsor doubted it would succeed. "It's probably not going to make it through the process," Baker said on Thursday. "It won't be much of story in a few days."

Naturally. They pass crap like this because they're too ignorant to realize that they have other, more important, things to do. > Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, > called the adornments offensive Nah, what I find offensive is all the spammers and scammers that operate out of South Florida, particularly the Boca Raton area. But since Florida's done little, if anything, about those a.sholes, I don't hold forth much hope that anything *will* be done. Instead they are trying to pass a law that apparently is meant to prevent a large number of senior citizens from being offended by bull testicles.

Well a *new* truck is not in the cards any time soon, as I probably drive mine once a week if that, and most of the time it's more because i don't want to let it sit too long than an actual need to haul something. So it's hard to justify spending more than a couple grand on a replacement.

"It won't be much of story in a few days." Only a f.cking Republican would be offended by some fake balls made out of plastic. The part that really gets me is that this repub owns a gun shop. I guess it's ok to use his guns and kill living things, but even the slightest thought of sex is repulsive. Somehow the thought of blasting a hole in a living creature, releasing blood all over the place and causing death is far more repulsive than some harmless fake plastic balls. Leave it to a republican to come up with something like this. While the fake balls dangle from trailer hitches, I wonder how many of his guns are used by gangs to kill people in the streets? Hell, this makes me want to put two basketballs in a flesh colored bag and hang it from my hitch. That would be about 1000 times larger than the balls of any republican. Of course we all know that Bush has no balls !!!!!!! |
