Virginia lawmaker seeks ban on replica genitalia after girl spots rubber testicles on truck
It is one thing to dangle fuzzy dice from a rear view mirror, but decorating a truck’s trailer hitch with a large pair of rubber testicles might be a bit much in Virginia.State lawmaker Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying rubber replicas of male genitalia on vehicles,
calling it a safety issue because it could distract other drivers.Under his measure, displaying the ornamentation on a motor vehicle would be a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $250.

This is not a censorship issue. They don’t need to be banned because they’re crude or a distraction.
They need to be done away with because they look and are stupid.
Is this ban also going to affect pets?

#29 – To be fair, we “should” outlaw them all, or legalize them all. I’m all for outlawing all such speech under time and place restrictions. Driving is for driving. blogging is for blogging. Voting is for voting. Bedrooms are for sex. Why the mix and match?
Your personal issues are your own, but I don’t need, nor will I tolerate such narrow restrictions on living… Especially since I only get to ride the ride one time.
Bedrooms are for sex? You live quite a vanilla little life there. Sorry about that.
#33–so you support talking on cell phones while driving, shaving, eating breakfast, reading the newspaper, typing a report etc, all while barreling down the highway at 90 mph? You must be some kind of superhero for individual rights–fuck everyone but ME, ME, ME!!!!
Bedrooms ARE for sex. Not the only thing you do in there, not the only place for sex either. I forgot. You probably think sex in a moving car is another fine demonstration of your sensibilities?
Think about it like this. That rubber replica is quite realistic. If I hung some realistic boobs in the back window of my Suzuki, what would the feminists say?
Also, if they can hang a rubber scrotum, why can’t I hang my real scrotum? Why can’t I walk around the mall parking lot with my balls hanging out?
Awe nuts.
Plain nuts, if you ask me.
Some people have no morals and values… I understand the humor in it however, this is disgusting. What IS next?
I don’t like the decal of the little guy wee weeing on things either.
Poor taste, really poor taste.
Freedom of speech is ALL ABOUT bad morals and bad values and peeing on things. Questioning the occasion of people to display their stupidity is missing the point.
Are cars the proper vehicle (sic!) for posting any free speech item or should public safety trump such issues?
These are pretty disgusting but I would not want my tax dollars spent trying to keep morons from this sort of stuff.
It merely emboldens them because they are getting the attention they need. Ignore them and it will go away. If I see a pair, I will put a big faggot sticker on their windshield. That will scare the crap out of them.
I wonder how often he’s gotta get his trailer hitch re-chromed.
That’s the perfect gift for someone like Gloria Allred.
What sort of white trash loser idiot would want those on his vehicle anyway?
That’s about as tacky as is gets.
#38 Some people have no morals and values…
Whos morals and values, yours?
I say keep ’em legal!
They’re just about as good as a Day-Glo orange t-shirt that proclaims “I IS A VULGER MORAN!!”
Gives you fair warning before you get anywhere near ’em…
If you honestly think this is something to put on your vehicle (or anything else, for that matter) then your emotional maturation came to a screeching halt at about age 12. 😛
“If rubber testicles are outlawed, only outlaws will have rubber testicles!”
“They are going to have to rip the rubber testicles out of my cold dead hands before they will get them from me!”
I couldn’t help it! This is just so stupid people, get over it!
It should be illegal to hang big rubber nuts from a truck unless you also hang a big rubber dick with them.
#45 – You’re no fun. I bet you don’t even think farts are funny either.
They should not ban them.
Here is the south I see them fairly often. Personally, I think it’s gay. Why would a guy drive around with balls on his truck? Does he love balls? I bet he does love balls. On his truck and chin.
#34 – You seem to reading something I wrote in Bizzaroworld. You implied that you support restrictions on speech, and as the topic is plastic balls on a bumper, I was talking about that.
The rest of that… talking on cell phones while driving, shaving, eating breakfast, reading the newspaper, typing a report etc… is all crap you pulled out of thin air.
The offending plastic balls are, in my subjective opinion, in poor taste and demonstrate a pretty childish and boorish sense of humor… But I’m not culture’s cop and the state has absolutely no compelling interest in legislating plastic bumper balls… Especially when our kids have substandard education and 40% of us are without health care and violent crime (though down somewhat) still haunts our cities and towns and Corp USA is offshoring damn near everything we used make a living doing….
You must be some kind of superhero for individual rights–fuck everyone but ME, ME, ME!!!!
You tell me. Who is hurt by these stupid balls? Who? What possible negative individual or societal impact do these rubber balls have? Aside from some uptight asshat’s delicate sensibilities, what is the harm?
After reading all of these,I find myself stuck on the one from the guy who said his wife drives around with a vagina in her reciever hitch…wow!Amazing how much this topic stimulated a response from so many…America,the land of the kinky…
that article really made me testy.
and you are right, State lawmaker Lionel Spruill, if god had meant for you to look at gonads, he would have given you a pair.
#38 – Some people have no morals and values…
My values are that even though I hate the plastic nuts, I don’t get uptight and try to use the force of law to please my own aesthetic tastes.
When I see a pair of plastic testes on the back of a vehicle, I want to cut them off. It’s insane.
It is so TACKY. granted, there’s no law against tacky. (not until this lawmaker gets his way.)
#49
lmao. I was thinking along this same line. I think these guys fantasize that they are actually exposing themselves… ewwwww.
The first time I saw balls on a truck I laughed my ass off. Now I don’t have an ass. I’m gonna sue.
Actually, most of the balls on trucks I’ve seen are made of metal.
#50–OFTLO–the issue is not your personal reaction to rubber testicles. Rather, the issue is whether or not ANY car ornamentation should be controlled as a threat to public safety, or alternatively, accommodated as free speech. lI’ve reread your post #28 and see that we basically agree on this issue. Figuring out how we wound up on opposite sides thereafter is not worth the candle.
So–real accident statistic. Find a billboard at an intersection and put up pictures of nude women. Accident rates go up.
Should such signs be outlawed as a traffic safety issue, or allowed as free speech?
Same deal, perhaps with fewer accidents, with rubber testicles==ie, anything that takes ones’ attention off the road and safe driving.
Free speech absolutist, or regulate time and place to accommodate competing valid interests?
Yes you had freedom of speech, but it doesn’t mean you should go shouting like a Jackass ( or yell fire when there is none, etc). Show some decency is all we are asking.
#57 – Rather, the issue is whether or not ANY car ornamentation should be controlled as a threat to public safety, or alternatively, accommodated as free speech.
Yes. Any ornamentation that involves roof mounted rocket launchers, napalm, a giant bucket that drops nails on the road, lasers, wild wombats, or anything like that should be regulated.
Any ornamentation that involves words or images should not.
I’ve reread your post #28 and see that we basically agree on this issue.
You always come around.
So–real accident statistic. Find a billboard at an intersection and put up pictures of nude women. Accident rates go up.
But why? Is it because men get hopelessly transfixed on nude women, go catatonic, and plow into a bus? Or is it because uptight moralist asshats fresh from their Sunday Sermon on the holiness of busybodyness go into self righteous conniption fits and lose control of their car?
Should such signs be outlawed as a traffic safety issue, or allowed as free speech?
The only reason to outlaw signs, stickers, whatever, is to suppress free speech. Every inch you give is an inch you’ll never get back without bloody revolution.
There are no safety issues related to bumper stickers or plastic nuts. You either have the basic skill to drive or you don’t… and we need to quit lowering the bar.
#59–OFTLO==you say “The only reason to outlaw signs, stickers, whatever, is to suppress free speech.”
You read better than that!! NO!!!
The original post and my hypothetical that you did initially agree with was that there is/can be a public safety issue as well. Is the speech inherent in rubber testicles important enough to allow uptight moralist asshats to cause accidents? I say there is no value at all in this so called speech, very little value in the asshats, but a protectable interest in the lives/safety of the innocents the asshats run into.
I wouldn’t confuse confrontational considered political speech with car adornments. Too sloppy and actually doesn’t respect what freedom of speech is actually all about. HEY!–kinda similar my my disagreement with your confusing right of privacy with right of anonymity. When you don’t know the importance of the right, easy to overextend its application, doing violence to other rights that are quite valuable on their own.
