Fun with Testicles



I found the image above through an Internet search. Now, I don't normally google words like "testicles" but a friend sent me an email about this trend and I had to check it out for myself.

The story goes something like this: My friend was driving and talking to his sister on the phone. She happens to be in the car industry. At a stoplight, he noticed a truck in front of him with fake testicles hanging off the trailer hitch. His sister was surprised that he had not seen this before.

Neither have I and I don't want to.

Apparently, this is a very popular thing to do, especially for those who take extra pride in being a redneck.

Several states have now introduced legislation to ban this particular form of expression which leaves me with some questions:
Are state governments running out of serious issues and have this kind of free time on their hands? Are these the issues they were elected to resolve?
Would feminist groups, i.e. NOW, be involved if the fake body parts were female?
Aren't children going to ask about this?
Would this be considered pornography or freedom of expression?


If anyone has run out of gift ideas, I found numerous websites where these little goodies can be ordered for the redneck in your life.

I unfortunately, have seen this on the road from time to time.
Can you imagine how proud his wife/family must be of him?
I had a hard enough time explaining the stupid window stickers of the Calvin & Hobbs character peeing on things (ex~ Ford truck having the cartoon peeing on the word Dodge).
I am all for Free Speech, however, I should not have to be exposed to things that offend me.
