State moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles

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.

Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.

    I tried posting this link to an Op Ed article about the situation in Florida. While there is a huge budget deficit, while there are problems with insurance and education -- BS things like THIS take up lawmakers time durign the regular session.

    W-T-F?

    While I don't personally care for(i.e offended by) these novelty items, I think it's total bull clod to actually make them illegal. If someone wants to hang a pair of synthetic nuts off their vehicle, then let them damnit. If I can just not look at them if they offend me, then so can others.

    BOOO! Dammit I live in Florida so I’m taking this story very personal. Let me tell you the first time I saw a pair of swinging truckticles I could not stop laughing. I can only hope that my children and grandchildren will have the opportunity to spit out their coffee and almost get in a wreck in a huge fit of laughter.

    Florida...who gives a hoot...they f**ked us in in the elections. If the policies of the past administrations come to fruition, they'll all be under water in 30-50 years. If I was them, I'd grab my (truck) nutz and hope they work as a flotation device when the time comes...the business of government should be something more than truck nutz...except maybe in a state that will allow rampant election fraud and judicial manipulation of results...so let 'em eat, sleep and suck nutz in the Florida legislature, or whatever it's called there...(BTW respect and real life jackets to the Floridians who voted for someone other than a Bush.)

    it's racist - only mexicans have them on their trucks - now how about the reclining nude profiles of chics on tire flaps which every trucker has on their rigs ?

    I've seen the truck nutz. They are far more disgusting and offensive than any nude profiles appearing on tire flaps.

    well , it's a little better when the nutz are gold plated - the above pic has nutz looking like prosthetics - which i've never seen before , and which i myself would be opposed to - but i like gold plated nutz - if i could gold plate mine, i would .

    If this happens, they may as well ban those sitting naked lady with pointed boobs profiles that you see on trucks, too.

    This is STUPID!

    This should be the subject of legislation why???? I guess there is a dearth of serious issues in Florida. I wanted to get some of these and send them to Congress and the Senate. Capitol Hill needs these more than a truck.

    this is the stupidist law i have ever heard of. Why are people taking time to make this a law. I live in Florida and i have them on my truck and i will never cut them off!!! We should start a protest for the stupid laws legislation passes!!!

    Good thing our government is working on the "tough" issues. This is the typical "OMG I DEMAND ACTION NOW BECAUSE THAT OFFENDS ME" bullshit that is fucking up our country.

  •  

    It would appear that Florida has a significant budget surplus to waste defending the inevitable 1ST Amendment lawsuits that are certain to turn up.

    Doesn't Florida require that "uphold and defend the constitution" oath of office anymore?

    You mean, these idiots are so worried about offensive nuts to the point of congressional involvement? And nobody finds it offensive to tax citzens on their first amendment rights to freedom of speak? Oh that's right, we voted off our freedoms, so let's hear it for extortion!

    Despite the fact that I think car balls are annoying, I gotta say that the state doesn't have much right to give the snip to people who use them, so to speak.
