They're also talking about banning naked lady mudflaps.  Thank God they're taking on the real issues!

The trucknuts were humorous at first, but they're still innapproiate to have out in public all the time. What about the kids in the car behind the truck with a ball-sack hanging off of it?

[The Pirate]

I personally think TruckNuts are horribly tacky, but c'mon.  There are much bigger issues at hand; it's disconcerting to see politicians even giving this issue the time of day.

All in a day's work though.  The economy is a bit iffy right now, Iraq is a bit of problem, but we sure took care of those social deviants who like to hang polypropylene testicles from their cars.  Give me a break.

Points for a equiptment violation? Get a life!

Both are soooo tacky and scream "My name is Bubba, I'm a high school dropout living in this here trailer park, watch me spit this tobacco juice out the window of my monster truck. 

The naked lady mud flaps?  How can they tell she's naked?  Could just be wearing a Bikini.

I;m suprised thay aren't going after the Calvin pissing on whatever decals as well.  Those are truely juvenile.

If they're going to regulate it, they should do what they do with porn and attack supply-side. No one is going to risk a prison term to traffic in truck testicles.

ZOMG! They'll be damaged goods. Quick, find a way to hide your son's own ballsack from him!

While your at it, go to his school and remove any reference to Michelangelo's David and da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.

[J86]

This shit is gonna turn me into a libertarian one of these days :shudder:

Cover it up with a leaf!  Problem solved! 

[akuma_supreme]

Maybe they should make a law making it illegal for people to look at their own genitalia.

Those kids have never seen an english bulldog?  Get over it.  If your kids can't deal, you're a bad parent.

Yep...

Come on in, the water's fine.

Repeat after me: "As much regulation as necessary, as little as possible."

[dazzleman]

I have to agree.  I don't think we should teach kids that a necessary part of the human body for half the population is a bad thing, necessarily.  They're very tacky, but I don't see the point of outlawing them.

This is a downscale version of the big ruckus there was in a neighboring town to me over the fact that a school bus drove through an office campus that had a replica of Michelangelo's "David" as a statue.  Big deal.  Even stupider was the ruckus in my town over the Victoria's Secret mannequins.  The store was forced to dress the mannequins more 'modestly' lest young boys be 'damaged' by looking at them.  It's a little crazy.

[Rupert]

Damaged? Man, that's the worst excuse for prudism.

[Lazerous]

Want to know why I am happy these things are banned? Because the sheer amount of pain and agony my balls suffer whilst watching these fake sacs being dragged around on a low rider is unbearable and I view it as a personal attack on my manhood.

The truth of the matter is, the only reason Florida law makers saw this as an issue is because it was bad for tourism and after all we do get most of our money from you Northern folk. So be happy we take you into consideration when we make such decisions. Damn ungrateful SOBs.

[Rupert]

I thought they were pretty funny for a while, sort of like saying, "this truck really is compensating for something," but when everyone got them, the irony was lost.

By the time kids are old enough that they're learning about that type of art they'd be old enough to see these things hanging off of the trucks.

I still think it's innappropriate. What do you do when your 5yr old daughter wants to know what those things hanging off the truck are?

People shouldn't be able to flaunt a massive ball-sack off the back of their vehicles in public.

You tell her that they are silly decorations and move on.

They are only a big deal if you make them one.

Yeah, just say they're balloons or tennis balls, or something of the like.

I saw pictures of David in grade school.

If she doesn't know what it is, what damage is being done? If she does know, what is the point of hiding it from her? A child who has never seen a ballsack nor heard of one will never even notice a pair on a truck.

So is a ballsack psychologically damaging to girls but not boys?

It is dreadfully tackty, but I don't see any destructive power in it. Americans are so prudish it makes me sick. This is almost as bad as Nipplegate.




My mom says when I was a toddler, I used to embarrass her at church by shouting, "HE'S A MAN BECAUSE HE HAS A PENIS! SHE'S A GIRL BECAUSE SHE HAS A VAGINA!" That was so far back in my childhood that I don't even remember it. I think you're going to find out some interesting things about the sexuality of children when you become a parent.

And as a parent, you'll have much, much, much more important things to worry about than a ballsack hanging from a truck.

[Soup DeVille]

I smell the omnipresent influence of the evil empire.

That's right folks: Disney is behind it.

I'd put money on it.

And look at how you turned out, man....

All the Floridians know it. What can we say? It's bad for business.

So why not just have nudity on basic cable, and available for all to see in public?

I don't know, you tell me.

[JYODER240]

I already said. I think it's innappropriate to have out in public.

That's not a very well-backed position.

[JYODER240]

That's not a very well-backed position.

People find that kind of thing offensive.


Why do you think it should be? Or are you just playing the devils advocate?
