Many drivers in Tallahassee Florida will sadly have to say goodbye to their testicles. Their fake bull testicles that dangle from their truck and car trailer hitches.
Republican Sen. 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, Senate lawmakers questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories. [Reuters]
Truck Nutz (which may just be my new favorite word) are described on their site as “a high-quality, novelty, automotive accessory that hang from any bumper and let folks show the world their Nutz”.
Personally I think there are things that are far more offensive like, oh I dunno, selling guns?
Is it not ones constitutional right to express themselves through plastic balls? Is it censorship to take a persons nutz away? Want to know more abut protecting free speech?
