Truck Nutz BANNED!!!
WTF?

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/community/news/eustis/orl-cfbriefs18_208apr18,0,6932139.story

Senate Votes to Ban "truck nutz"

Apparently in the Utopia that is Florida, all other problems have been solved and there's just one pesky loose end to tie up...
So when do we enact the law that male animals must wear diapers? I am so offended by dog scrotums...fuck it, I can't even continue the sarcasm. We're a joke, laugh at will.

1. Praise Allah
That is the stupidest fad ever in the history of history. The government is protecting idiots against themselves.

28. Well, it's as good an early warning system as a
confederate flag sticker on the bumper. Those screamed "LOOK AT ME!! I'M AN ASSHOLE WITH AN EMOTIONAL AGE OF TWELVE!!"

6. My thoughts exactly
I think they were a way to ID the idiots that you want to steer clear of. Like a Bush/Cheney sticker.

34. I don't think they should ban them, maybe require on alternating days
of the week, they should be displayed on ones forehead, then vehicle.

4. Now that truk nutz are outlawed
Only outlaws will have truk nutz.

I suspect that liberal bumper stickers will be next to go in the Sunshine State.

5. How about this?
Can I hang a 42" LCD screen on the back of my car and play porno on it as I drive around?

You have to draw a line somewhere. I have ZERO problem with outlawing this.

14. really?
A representation of a scrotum....like you see on a bull, a dog, a horse, etc? You have no problem with outlawing this? I was once told that if the company allows people to put little cartoons on their walls and doors, pretty soon someone will have a swastika flag on the office wall. Way to leap into an area where there are already things in place to prevent that. There are laws against showing porno in public.

16. Yes really
Sure you see scrotums on dogs etc. You also see them having sex in public places too. You DON'T see humans doing it though now do ya?

Again, you have to draw a line somewhere.

19. It's a truck
NOT a human. If the nuts of all the other non-human things are OK, then why not the trucks?

23. Because trucks don't come with nuts
They are placed there, and are intended to represent human testes. You can dispute that if you like, but since it's entirely a matter of opinion I won't bother arguing the point.

If this were a vagina we wouldn't be having this conversation since it would have been banned in .003 nanoseconds.

38. I hate to say thank you for pointing that out, but thank you for pointing that out.
Boy, what a buncha city folk we have here huh? I don't like 'em, but I'm not thinking of banning them. Just laughing at wahoos who think they're cool. Bull balls. Exactly what they are. Here in CA they only seem to hang from certain pick-ups though.

Once at my Great Grandfather's house I shot a bull in the nuts with my Daisy BB gun. The bull stood straight up in a way I have trouble describing other than to say it was the absolute funniest thing I've ever seen. I turned around after laughing and guess who was standing there? You guessed it; Great Grandpa.

He whooped me with the BB gun until it broke in half where the plastic stock met the metal works of the gun. Didn't take long, like three strokes maybe.

I deserved it.

I never went outside with a BB gun again at Great Grandpa's house.

Bull balls though? Funny, funny shit. Always good for a giggle.

17. Sooner or later they will outlaw something that *you* like..
I've lived in Florida, I wouldn't put it past them to outlaw liberal bumper stickers.. "Because they can lead to violence if they are seen by "real Americans"".

Of course, where I live now it's not worth the vandalism to your car to have a liberal bumper sticker.

My "Dubya 2008" sticker is just protective coloration down here.

Wouldn't you wanna know who is an idiot?

Gals, y'all can know in advance who has the smallest dick and worst personality ever.

Guys, you can immediately recognize the dickhead who is about to rip you off on that construction deal.

29. You know the really sad part?
So many people get enjoyment out of going out of their way to offend their neighbors in this Jerry Springer, Howard Stern, get the fuck out of my way world that communities are finding it necessary to protect the rest of us from the bullies who use "free speech" as a mandate to be assholes.

Virginia beach gives tickets to people who cuss on the street. The town I grew up in just outside of Detroit did then, and still does give tickets for spitting on sidewalks, littering. They used to actually enforce the code laws requiring people to cut the grass, trim the hedges, not have dead cars and appliances all over the yard, etc.

Yes, the community standards laws seem to be getting sillier. Probably because we Americans have gotten more petty and ruder.

Just MHO.

36. The other side of that coin
Is people who are ridiculously easy to offend..

Practically everything you can say is going to offend someone.

I think plastic bull testicles are incredibly stupid but I think getting offended by them is even more stupid.

How would these folks fare in Japan?



With their portable shrines and pots of sake, Japanese festivals are generally fairly boisterous affairs, but for Kawasaki’s annual fertility festival (the Kanamara Matsuri) at Hachiman-gu Shrine, bawdy could be deemed a far more accurate description — the marvelling at massive members,...

43. This we agree on.
There are so many REALLY offensive things, I think people have just decided to shut them out, out of self defense, and then when the little stuff comes along it pushes them over the edge. A lot of people just feel like they are on sensory overload, I think.

Kinda like me being stuck in a wheelchair, my legs and back in pain most of the time. I never ever complain about that, but give me a hangnail and O brother I'm a wuss. :)

Seriously, support them... they're dragging on the ground. Maybe George and Kramer need to come up with a supportive undergarment for the "troops", much like the Man-ssiere.

Should this company logo be banned, too?
