So, Marylanders really do this?

When fake bull testicles are outlawed ...
Bill would ban anatomically explicit vehicle decorations in Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Fake bull testicles and other anatomically explicit vehicle decorations would be banned from Maryland roads under a bill pending in the state legislature.

The measure was filed in the General Assembly on Monday by Delegate LeRoy E. Myers Jr., who says children shouldn't be exposed to giant plastic gonads dangling from pickup truck trailer hitches. The bill also would ban displaying images of naked human breasts, buttocks or genitals, with offenses punishable by fines of up to $500.

"It's time to take a stand," Myers told The (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail.

The American Civil Liberties Union objected to Myers' bill.

"The legislation is overly broad, and would probably make it illegal to have a sticker on your car of the Venus de Milo from an art museum," ACLU of Maryland spokeswoman Meredith Curtis wrote in an e-mail.

Pamela Campbell, whose Bullhead City, Ariz., business sells fake bull testicles, suggested that the swinging decorations can prompt healthy discussions about anatomy and reproduction.

"Do we have to neuter all dogs that walk by us?" she asked. "Where does it stop?"

Last week, Arizona's legislature rejected a measure that would have banned vehicle splash guards bearing racist terms or silhouettes of naked women.

I don't think it was just a Maryland thing, but a Maryland legislator apparently has too much time on his hands. I see them every once in a while, but not every day. I think there's a truck on my way to work that has them. I'll see if I can get a pic. Haha.

I've seen 'em in blue, metalic, and caucasoid flesh.

Metallic...sweeeeeeet! Would that mean the truck has balls of steel?

It's time to take a stand, Leroy? Against plastic bull nads?

Run for president you titan, you.

They're not bull nads, they're truck nutz. I can see the defense..."Did you display fake bull nads on your truck?" "No sir, I did not, they was truck nutz, not bull nads." "Okay, you're free to go."

Politicians with too much time on their hands...

Just like the story I heard about a politician in NY state that wants to make it illegal to listen to ipods or talk on cell phones while in crosswalks. Not necessarily a bad idea, but there are probably more important things to be worrying about.

We've got 'em here in Arizona here (surprise, surprise) and they're just as ridiculously embarrassing here, too. I try to imagine the owners of the trucks justifying not only buying these stupid things but going to all the effort to get under the bumper and hang them from there. I just can't imagine being out in my driveway doing that and not feeling like a complete jackass.

Anyway, if anyone's looking for any last minute gift ideas for friends: http://www.trucknutz.com/ Be sure and also pick up some "Calvin pees on (pick your most disliked auto manufacturer)" stickers, too.

Indeed.

Yeah, this has been the topic of the day.

There was a big frontpage story in the local rag about how hypothetically this bull farm in the county would have to shave off/grind off/remove somehow its testicles because it is too anatomically correct. I guess because since it is by the road, and considered an advertisement. I actually think its funny that both the libs and conservatives are thinking alike for once (at least in my office) that this is a non-issue.

For me, I think that maybe if parents did explain what a scrotum was, and have more frank conversations, maybe the pregnancy rate would go down in places like my county.
