State moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles

By Michael Peltier Fri Apr 25, 12:03 PM ET

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.

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.

Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.

The bill's sponsor doubted it would succeed.

"It's probably not going to make it through the process," Baker said on Thursday. "It won't be much of story in a few days."

Florida is also thinking of legalizing a license plate that has the cross on it.

Nice separation of church and state, and also the equality of other religions.

Florida is retarded. h:

why shouldnt they legalize it? it is a persons choice to add a cross, just like adding a manatee or a miami dolphins logo. who gives a shit, its a representation of self. this has nothing to do with church/state, it is about self expression.

now, if they decided to redesign the standard issue license plate to include a cross, you would have an argument to make.
