- paradexes, on 04/28/2008, -2/+2Well I can tell ya, Prez Bush's approval rating will drop even further now if the redneck population can't have their balls hanging from their pickup. Notwithstanding that the ban has NOTHING to with him, redneck ignorance will quickly place the blame on him.

- mrcoderga, on 04/28/2008, -66/+31So, the FL government is launching a war on truck nuts?
What's next, is our government going to "protect us all" from wearing wigs and false ***** in public too?
Watch for the government to start confiscating ever more private property without due process.
Think again what they are up to with style.
Start by asking yourself: Do you really think your city and state governments are REALLY interested in "protecting citizens" from:
- Marijuana and other drugs
- Porn
- Pedophilia
- Truck nuts
- Various and sundry vehicle style "public offenses"
- Various and sundry gass lawn style "public offenses"
Or do you think that maybe your governments (city, state) just like the greatly elevated additional unjust powers of private property confiscation that some how, just some how, coincidentally seem to come along just for the ride, virtually EVERY TIME any of these offenses, both real (pedophilia) and imagined (truck nuts and pot), are discovered by the authorities.
What's next? Getting your property confiscated if your haircut is not approved by Our Great Leader?
Ask if this is really a joke when you get a lien on your house for "lawn style public offenses".
Ask if this is really a joke when you get your truck confiscated for "truck style public offenses."
Ask if this is really a joke when you get your website confiscated for "language public offenses."
The style police are coming. Don't laugh. For whom the bell tolls....
The crazy thing is the style police don't have to give you due process afforded to criminals. The court system does not even become involved --- they just take your ***** and the entire jury of peers thing is old history.
The style police are MORE dangerous than real police. Style police BYPASS the Constitution and confiscate PRIVATE PROPERTY constantly with no due process whatsoever.

- Cobain27, on 04/28/2008, -4/+8hey don't throw Ron paul supporters in with his lot. That's just unfair. And people who call all Paul supporters crazy are just using a cop out because we actually make valid points. But there are some nuts Paul supporters but there are crazy people everywhere, just look around you right now! don't you see them? I do.
- Spudster, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1I would say the crazy part of Ron Paul is the radical free market part of his Libertarianism. To be honest though, I would call Ron Paul quite a moderate in terms of how Libertarians go. He advocates pushing for a small federal government with little taxation. In comparison, many people within the Libertarian party want the complete removal of government altogether...
- dexter411, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1Conservatives have nothing against the free market part of his libertarian beliefs. It's the "pull out of every country in the world where we have a vested interest" that strikes Republicans as looney.

- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -5/+13"Watch for the government to start confiscating ever more private property without due process."
Um... there is due process in both the substantive and procedural means by passing a law like this. Unfortunately, my copy of the Constitution doesn't make any mention of an inalienable right to bear [bull] balls.- MWeather, on 04/28/2008, -2/+5My copy of the constitution says "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
You need to update yours if it doesn't make the above clear. The constitution doesn't grant you rights, it grants governments it's powers.- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Yup. But the states can do what they please.- MWeather, on 04/29/2008, -1/+2Amendment XIV, Section 1, Clause 2:
“ No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ” - thebellmaster1x, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2And, as we all learned in Government, the right to have a bull's scrotum attached to your car is the most basic of all the rights as a citizen.
Voting comes second. - dexter411, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1“ No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ”
Yep, I'm quite familiar with the fourteenth amendment, having devoted a good deal of my undergraduate time so far studying it. Alas, do you really think a Civil War amendment designed to extend citizenship to blacks says anything of bull testicles? No, but really. Do you? - MWeather, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1If you're so familiar with it, you should know that what was previously forbidden only to Congress to do was, by the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, made equally forbidden to any state.
- dexter411, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1"Alas, do you really think a Civil War amendment designed to extend citizenship to blacks says anything of bull testicles? No, but really. Do you?"
You [shockingly] didn't touch that.

- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
- Zarokima, on 04/28/2008, -2/+2We have the right to bear arms, so why the hell shouldn't we have the right to bull balls?
- tech42er, on 04/28/2008, -1/+4You think, just because it's not enumerated in the Constitution, the government simply has a right to confiscate whatever they don't like? What the ***** is your problem? Don't you respect freedom and individual rights at all?
- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1"What the ***** is your problem? Don't you respect freedom and individual rights at all?"
I didn't weigh in on my personal beliefs. Rights not protected by the Constitution go to the states; thus why people see Roe v. Wade as such judicial activism.
- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1"What the ***** is your problem? Don't you respect freedom and individual rights at all?"
- DRINKxREDxBULL, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Holy crap. Our nations interpretation of role of the Constitution has done a 180 over the last 200 years (FDR was the real turning point). Originally it was intended to explicitly outline what the government CAN do. Now thanks to what the the government CAN do. Now, thanks to the dozen years of indoctrination in government schools, the public, like you, thinks it only says what the government CANT do.
- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1"Originally it was intended to explicitly outline what the government CAN do. "
Indeed, the Constitution is written to explain what the federal government can do, but look at some contemporary documents to see the framers' views of states rights. If this was a federal law, it would have no ground to stand upon. But since the Constitution doesn't have a say as to obscene car accessories, states can do as they please.
- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1"Originally it was intended to explicitly outline what the government CAN do. "
- Spudster, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2I doubt this law is unconstitutional, but that is irrelevant. This law is against the principles we hold dear to western society: freedom of expression.

- Culled, on 04/28/2008, -0/+7You lose all right to complain when you compare laws against pedophiles to laws against bull balls.
- twertyto, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Mondays on Digg are always strange.
- ByteGuerilla, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1niggawhut?
- JustinHopewell, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1While I agree with a lot of what you said, this is Florida making this decision for its own state, so I believe it's technically within legal limits. While I find the fake balls annoying and in bad taste (and I see them all the time here in Texas, land of the pick-up truck), I also think everyone should be able to exercise their first amendment rights in any way they choose. However, I also believe in the power of each state to choose what it deems appropriate for it's own state. If you live in Florida and still want to put dangling rubber balls on your hitch, there's still forty-nine other states you're welcome to do it in.
- fluidfoundation, on 04/28/2008, -5/+41Easy corkey. I know you've been holding that one in a while. Its not that I don't agree with you on some things, but you got to dole our your crazies little by little.
- mrcoderga, on 04/28/2008, -34/+104 Not only do police and prosecutors have the power to seize anything you own on the slightest pretext, they also have the incentive. The dirty little secret of the forfeiture racket is that police, prosecutors and judges can benefit personally by stealing your property.
Brenda Grantland – America's leading asset forfeiture defense attorney – gives these examples of government greed in her book "Your House Is Under Arrest":
Suffolk County, New York. District Attorney James M. Catterton drives around in a BMW 735I that was seized from an alleged drug dealer. He spent $3,412 from the forfeiture fund for mechanical and body work, including $75 for pin-striping.
Warren County, New Jersey. The assistant chief prosecutor drives a confiscated yellow Corvette.
Little Compton, Rhode Island. The seven member police force received $3.8 million from the federal forfeiture fund, and spent it on such things as a new 23-foot boat with trailer, and new Pontiac Firebirds.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The head of one Los Angeles police forfeiture squad claims his group personally pocketed over $60 million in seized property.
Why do our courts tolerate these outrageous legalized thefts? Because they get their cut. It's completely legal for confiscated property to be used by police, prosecutors and judges, so long as it's for official business. In 1996, a federal district court even ruled that police can personally receive 25% of the value of any confiscated home, car, or business.

- sovietninja, on 04/28/2008, -1/+37This is the stupidest thing ever. I was behind a truck today which had the fake balls attached with a masterlock. I don't know if that's the common practice but who would steal your trucks balls? And the scariest part? The driver was a lady. Maybe.
- akatherder, on 04/28/2008, -0/+7No, the driver WAS a man. Now she is a "lady" prominently displaying her former body parts.
- secrity, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5People do steal Truck Nutz, I am not sure if most of them are stolen to put on another truck or they are removed because somebody was offended. I had a pair stolen from my truck.
- elDud3rino, on 04/28/2008, -3/+7Wow, not only do you know of them as "Truck Nutz," you also had them on your vehicle on one point. This is just disgusting.
- secrity, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1"Truck Nutz" was the brand that I had. At least they were on a pickup truck, not on a SUV or Cadillac.
- Branyers, on 04/28/2008, -1/+8That took balls to admit.
- elDud3rino, on 04/28/2008, -3/+7Wow, not only do you know of them as "Truck Nutz," you also had them on your vehicle on one point. This is just disgusting.
- iamafatguy, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1"The driver was a lady"
She should have been sporting "Bumper Lipz"!
- TheAtari260, on 04/28/2008, -2/+28Are you telling me the Florida State Legislature has NOTHING better to do? How about getting a better means of voting!!!!
- Ramble, on 04/28/2008, -3/+5Surely these are good for identifying bad drivers on the road?
- dmark77, on 04/28/2008, -1/+11Free speech wise this feels like one those "If Group xyz can say/express what they want, so can the KKK".
That said, while against dangling bull-balls, I suppose the truck owner has the right to express what they want.
..but since we're outlawing this and censoring that anyway - something about reducing NAMBLA's reach into the world would be appropriate.- woohhaa, on 04/28/2008, -0/+7What did the North American Marlin Brando Look Alikes ever do to you?
- elDud3rino, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1They touched me.
- sw33tsarin, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2The KKK CAN say whatever they like, so can the Black Panthers and La Raza. That's what freedom of speech is.
- JedicodeWarrior, on 04/28/2008, -2/+1"I suppose the truck owner has the right to express what they want" -- or don't have.
- Butmac, on 04/28/2008, -15/+9I am completely behind this act if only because you have to be a complete ***** douchebag to hang testicles off the back of your car.
- sphigel, on 04/28/2008, -2/+10People like you lead us down the road of fascism.
- Syphon8, on 04/28/2008, -3/+2Sometimes, fascism is a good thing.
- staffa, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5For the fascist
- Syphon8, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1For the idiot masses who're being saved from themselves.
- rdoger6424, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1The nazis didn't have balls on their panzers
- staffa, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5For the fascist
- Butmac, on 04/28/2008, -4/+2If banning redneck paraphernalia from the back of trucks makes me a fascist then Zieg Heil
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4dont let your hate of rednecks make you less of a liberty loving person. democracy is 51% of the people oppressing the other 49%
- tech42er, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4Yeah. Fascism isn't when a neo-nazi and his private militia take over the country. It's when the government slowly expands its powers and the citizens support it until the government is firmly in control. Apathy leads to an authoritarian government. All well, what the ***** can we do about that? If only a few people care about their rights and freedoms, what have we come to as a country?
- Syphon8, on 04/28/2008, -3/+2Sometimes, fascism is a good thing.
- captainchris, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2and an even bigger ***** to create a law against it.
- sphigel, on 04/28/2008, -2/+10People like you lead us down the road of fascism.
- cl2yp71c, on 04/28/2008, -0/+14They haven't mentioned human testicles though.
Just a thought. - darny, on 04/28/2008, -1/+7never thought they'd have the balls.
- k1down, on 04/28/2008, -1/+17Just ditch the balls and upgrade to a truck penis.
- ParticleMan420, on 04/28/2008, -2/+13thats what the trucks are anyway!
what the ***** do douchebags need with a jacked up 4X4 when they live in apartments and never leave the city?- elDud3rino, on 04/28/2008, -0/+8Cause it's ***** extreme bro!!
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -5/+5not everyone that owns a truck is a douchebag. to carry tools, pull equipment and to drive off road where your faggy hybrids would get stuck. not everyone is a sheltered ***** like you ;-)
- marx2k, on 04/28/2008, -1/+10Sounds like the biggest tool in these trucks is usually behind the wheel.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -2/+3its possible, but you only care about the stereotype and not the person, which is ignorance at its core.
- SpudgeBoy, on 04/28/2008, -1/+7An exception to the rule does not mean there isn't a rule. Most of the trucks I see around have never had a tool anywhere near them and there usually is a douche bag driving the gas guzzling ball sack hanging piece of *****.
- defectDS, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2All the trucks here have nothing more than backpacks or dogs in the back. But when the truck itself isn't enough and they stick on some balls to express their manliness, I can't help but think that it really is the gayest thing I've ever seen (says the homosexual).
- ParticleMan420, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1i was going to say something about what WANTING balls on your truck means
thank you my fruity friend! ;)
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -1/+7I say the same thing about ***** who drive SUVs.
- Branyers, on 04/29/2008, -2/+5You're stereotyped because there's so many pricks who use their big trucks to intimidate others on the road. How is a hybrid vehicle a threat to you in your huge truck? A: They're not. Big truck drivers just enjoy being pricks.
- k1down, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1They intimidate you? lol
- acdcfanbill, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2Or maybe you could upgrade to a combination Ovaries-Fallopian Tubes-Uterus to hang off the back of your vehicle.
- ParticleMan420, on 04/28/2008, -2/+13thats what the trucks are anyway!
- uziko, on 04/28/2008, -3/+21they want to ban anything they they dislike, wtf
one guy said he wants it banned because it's offensive, there is a billion ***** things that are offensive, that's life don't be a piece of ***** and try ban everything you don't like- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3seems to be the consensus around here, "if rednecks like it, lets ban it! I cant stand rednecks"
- SpudgeBoy, on 04/28/2008, -4/+1Just stop being dumb assed red necks. Problem solved.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5who cares about individuality, we should all be like you.
- 1timeuser, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1Actually, that would be very good for America.
- SpudgeBoy, on 04/28/2008, -4/+1Just stop being dumb assed red necks. Problem solved.
- caramba420, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1It's kinda funny, in fact. We already are always asking, "what's with the violence/sex double standard?" Now, the guy that wants these banned is the owner of a gun store. It's like he is the literal personification of the debate.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3seems to be the consensus around here, "if rednecks like it, lets ban it! I cant stand rednecks"
- swicklund, on 04/28/2008, -2/+11NOOOOOO!
This is a safety issue. In the event of road rage you know never to ***** with these guys, because even if they don't a rifle mounted in the rear window, your know it just laying on the floor. - secretoftheeast, on 04/28/2008, -0/+7Thank goodness they're not trying to ban real testicles (on vehicles).
- scy1192, on 04/28/2008, -1/+6those silly rednecks
- ginestony, on 04/28/2008, -3/+9I live in Florida. Miami has a huge problem with this... you'll see little honda civics with these stupid things. Honestly, I think the gov is overstepping their bounds
- KBailey1734, on 04/28/2008, -1/+16What did the balls ever do to you?
- 1timeuser, on 04/29/2008, -0/+3Well what if those balls came off and hit someone in the face. Would you want to have balls in your face?
- ElBeh, on 04/28/2008, -4/+5A funny and relative IRC discussion I just had:

:: Your bull testicles photo
Hi Gudamor,
Here's a personal note from Rob Peters:
We're running a news story about a potential ban on
ornamental bull testicles in Florida, and your photo would
be a great addition. Would you be interested in sharing it?
Can I see the pic he's talking about
why, my bull testicles photo, of course: http://www.nowpublic.com/strange/dscn5974
Those look like ornamental human testicles!- TheChunt, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Holy hell. Can they ban those gigantic muffler tips while they are at it.
- Biohazard6601, on 04/28/2008, -4/+6then we cant have bumper stickers, then paint our cars, then we all have to own the same brand (US)
- DaveImber, on 04/28/2008, -3/+1thats called communism ***** face
- Mr.Gone, on 04/28/2008, -8/+5Now how will I know which tires to slash in the parking lot? Thanks a lot.
- ParticleMan420, on 04/28/2008, -2/+7they'd be the jacked up trucks, hummers, escalades, and any sports car that you could never afford.
- Dumbledorito, on 04/28/2008, -3/+3You know, that whole "you're just jealous" thing was quite the BS before gas was 4 bucks a gallon. Now you just look petulant.
- marx2k, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3Heh, as though even half of those "owners" can afford them?
- ParticleMan420, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1that's part of what makes then douchebags!
- ParticleMan420, on 04/28/2008, -2/+7they'd be the jacked up trucks, hummers, escalades, and any sports car that you could never afford.
- ogisdan, on 04/28/2008, -8/+6I have always wondered who gets to decide whats offensive and what isn't. Apparently republican gun-shop owners do.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -2/+3right, democrats would never try to ban anything they dont like. partisan ***** like you are the reason our country is such a cluster *****.
- SpudgeBoy, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3The funny thing is that it is the republican gun-shop owners that are sporting these things on their vehicles.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1there sure are a lot of gunshop owners.
- magneteye, on 04/28/2008, -1/+5What? Florida has got a lot of balls!
- pintomp3, on 04/28/2008, -0/+44what good is my jesus license plate without my truck nuts?
- zmigliozzi, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6No confederate flag either?! How dare you call yourself a good southerner.
- JedicodeWarrior, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2No really, but does believing in Jesus mean you have no balls?
- kefkastudio, on 04/28/2008, -13/+3I'm another guy submitting a comment!
- CMiYC, on 04/28/2008, -1/+16Is it still illegal if they are real?
- slightlygifted, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4its not easy to get a bull's balls.
- msflower97, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0Apparently it's not THAT difficult...http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/rockymtoy ... (and no, it's not a Rick Roll)
- 1timeuser, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Yeah, but then those rednecks would just eat them.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1youd be suprised at if there is a demand for something, it wont take long before there is a supply for it.
- msflower97, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0Apparently it's not THAT difficult...http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/rockymtoy ... (and no, it's not a Rick Roll)
- slightlygifted, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4its not easy to get a bull's balls.
- phatboyslim, on 04/28/2008, -4/+7Call me crazy, and I don't want to impede on any personal freedoms, but I personally can't stand staring at a set of balls.... fake or not. Maybe we could get some fake breasts to use as headlamp covers instead?
- jsauter, on 04/28/2008, -1/+5I was thinking about marketing something called the 'Bumber Beave' which was a suction cup attached va-jay-jay that sticks on your bumper.
It's for girls.- marx2k, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Digging you down for not being able to correctly type in female anatomy parts and instead sounding like a four year old.
- jsauter, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1Don't get much of the va-jay-jay do you?
- marx2k, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Digging you down for not being able to correctly type in female anatomy parts and instead sounding like a four year old.
- shodanx, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3if you are willing to give up personnal freedom to get rid of those eye sore ........
well frankly I can't put into words how I feel about that
- jsauter, on 04/28/2008, -1/+5I was thinking about marketing something called the 'Bumber Beave' which was a suction cup attached va-jay-jay that sticks on your bumper.
- timla, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6Just think about those poor emasculated trucks out there if this passes.
- zmigliozzi, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1If you drive a big truck it means you have a big penis, everyone knows that. Now they just wont have the balls to complement.
- mal1964, on 04/28/2008, -2/+3They are Delicious!, Rocky Mountain Oysters
- MMSQ3, on 04/28/2008, -2/+52I may think that they're stupid and one of the worst things in the world, but damn if it isn't their right to have them!
I don't care if they offend me, we live in a country where freedom of expression is a protected right - even if you're expressing how much of an idiot you are!- eth3l, on 04/28/2008, -5/+3That right is not unlimited.
- fivefootfour, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6It's definitely not limited in this case. They're disgusting to look at, but then so are bumper stickers and vanity plates. You don't like them, don't look.
- saikyan, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4Look at the bigger picture. This decision is not only unconstitutional, it's an unbelievably irresponsible waste of legislators' time. Florida has no bigger problems than truck nuts??
- eth3l, on 04/28/2008, -5/+3That right is not unlimited.
- ANT1138, on 04/28/2008, -4/+18*****. I can't believe so many people have fake bull testicles hanging from their trucks that they had to make a law against it. Remind to never go to Florida.
- mal1964, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Do you get out of the house much?
- DonCarcharo, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6In central Florida a vast majority of trucks have them, actually. In fact today at lunch I saw at least a half dozen of those things while sitting at the red light. Of course they're easy to spot as they can often be found along side giant rebel flags or stickers of Calvin urinating on random corporate logos.
- gmiley, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6They aren't just in Florida. They are all over the U.S. Personally I think they are one of the dumbest things you could adorn your vehicle with, right up there with the loud rice-burner mufflers, but I still don't believe that gives the government the right to outlaw them.
- msflower97, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Thank you, I was going to say the same. Florida is redneck but it sure as hell isn't the MOST redneck place in the country.
- 1timeuser, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2Honestly I've never seen these in Alabama, and as you all know, this place isn't exactly crawling with intellectuals.
- ANT1138, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Yeah, it's nice to have a clear marker for people I should avoid.
- msflower97, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Thank you, I was going to say the same. Florida is redneck but it sure as hell isn't the MOST redneck place in the country.
- Laughsatyou, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1lol all the people who bitched about the law in some southern town about sagging your pants, but this is ok with them.
- Branyers, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Bull Ball Brotherhood
- Anonchrist, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Florida strives to put its illegitimacy to work... Damn, I intended to write illiteracy.
- DeadSkinMask, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1In case anyone wants to check 'em out...
http://www.bumpernuts.com/ - CMuffa, on 04/28/2008, -1/+4You know, some wack-a-dos consider the body as a vehicle. So does that mean the FL men will have "the boys" chopped from their "vehicles"? Also, does this mean that whale vagina trailer hitches are going to be illegal in San Diego too?
