Source:Mumbai Mirror(pg21) and Reuters.

Senate Lawmakers in florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of trucks and cars in the state.............




.........Motorists would be fined 60$ (Rs,2410) for displaying the novelty items known as "Truck Nutz".....

A very common sight in Texas. I must admit,some look so real,one would have to take a close look to make sure they aren't the real ones (or two, actually).

The same guy tried to outlaw baggy pants Lol

Lionel Spruill, known for his failed attempt in 2005 to ban baggy pants, says the motivation for his latest idea came from a constituent.

Errr. they imagine they are cowboys and riding a bull perhaps!! Now a bull would/n't____ you get the drift?

[shankar.balan]

while I am all for freedom of expression, sometimes these things border on the vulgar, distasteful and occasionally downright offensive!
anyway what else can one expect of a culturally challenged, red-neck driven bunch of chaps out there?
Frankly it is stupid and a complete waste of time (IMO)

I find racism more vulgar, distasteful, and occasionally downright offensive, much more than a pair of plastic nuts, even if racism is directed towards people not of Indian origin.
This forum is made up of people from different cultures, from all walks of life. Calling someone culturally challenged just because you do not subscribe to their culture, good or bad or whatever, shows a very myopic and restrictive view of the world, a view which we would not like to see on Team-bhp.
Attacking a class of people just because you find their customs offensive, is not done.

@Nitin: A very ridiculous question...are these novelty items 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional?! I'm ROFLMAO to my own question!

Very weel said. I totally agree with your point of view and I am one of the people in here who may have actually seen these. One of my colleagues in Houston had these hooked to his Tundra. I couldnt ask him why though
