Florida moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles
Posted Fri Apr 25, 2008 3:06pm AEST
Senators in Florida have voted to ban fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.
Republican Senator 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.
In a spirited debate laced with double entendre, Senators questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories.
Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules chairman, Senator Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.
Personally you could not pay me to put something so stupid on my vehicle. But a Ban? Why do they not do something about all the SMOKERS considering the world as thier personal ashtray with millions of butts at every corner. Or the ASSHOLES with the loud bass invading everyones privacy not giving a sh*t about anyone but themselves. Now we have semi-truck drivers parking there rigs on the side of the road outside of the subdivision they live in like the roadside is there personal parking lot. Just a few of the things that piss me off everyday!
