Hooray 1st Amendment! http://www.wtkr.com/global/story.asp?s=7625589 "Truck Nuts" Bill Dies In General Assembly The Virginia General Assembly killed a bill that would ban "truck nuts" from your truck or SUV. The nutty idea is the brainchild of Chesapeake Delegate Lionell Spruill. We're talking about the fake testicles people hang on the backs of their vehicles. Spruill's bill would have banned anything on a car or truck that looked like human genitalia. "Yeah, I definitely think those should be outlawed. I don't approve of that," says one local woman we talked to. But others think its no big deal. "Nah, that's not vulgar, that's funny," says one man. Spruill says these types of dangling do-dads are tacky, vulgar, and downright embarassing. "It comes to a point where there are certain things you just can't do. And putting testicles on the back of a truck is just too much. So I am trying to stop it," he tells NewsChannel 3 in an interview. Spruill says the idea for the bill came to him after the daughter of one of the people in his district saw a pair of the testicles hanging from the back of a truck in traffic. That's when Spruill put the bill in action.
I am pretty sure that you could make the argument that truck balls are indecent, not art, not political, and therefore subject to the whims of legislators. I just thought it was funny that an assemblyman would try to outlaw them.
