Get Ready to Wave Goodbye to Faux Testicles

Finally, someone stood up and said something about the tacky fake bull’s testicles that too may low class morons are hanging from the back of their trucks.

I have a 5-year-old daughter and there is not way in the world I want to have to explain to her what they are. Not yet. And, to those who feel I should just make up some clever reply to cover it up for her: I do not lie to my daughter, ever. Therefore, talking to her about testicles is something I want to just put off for a few years.

This week the Florida State Senate started discussions about products like Your Nutz and BullsBalls. One senator suggested that the owners be subject to a $60 fine. The fate of the proposed bull could be decided as early as next week.

The sellers of the lowbrow accessories insist, “It’s a First Amendment thing.”

That is what most people say when they cannot think of a better rebuttal.

They are lewd and classless. I am all for finding those who insist on driving the roads with them attached to their vehicles. If they want to display balls, let them hang some from their rearview mirrors, where they can admit the ornaments themselves. Don’t; put them where all the drivers behind have to look at them.
