Hehe and ya, so I have heard, and, sad to say, I have some curiosity in that regard.
Nevertheless, this is a tangent to the topic.
Unless those dangling whatnots have a menu attached... still are shock and offend as their intent, imo.
Erm, and adding a readable/visible menu might cause drivers viewing to hurl...

And babies drink breast milk, that doesn't mean replicas of breasts should be attached to cars.
The word "ADULT" in adult novelties is there for a reason.

So now we're saying it's ok to let the kids look at Penthouse, and even encourage it?
Why not just go rent some porn for family movie night too?

This did not read like a joke. Lots of kids do stumble upon porn and stash it. But whatever. @@

What does you being a woman and buttoning up your shirt have to do with the price of beans in zimbabwe? lol no one was talking about kids stashing porn .. . nor making any way shape or form of derogetory remark about anything relating to women .. lol wow
The collar reference, if I MUST explain it, is me saying you have it buttoned too tight, ... MEANING .. you're posts make you seem uptight and stuffy around the collar ... lighten up Francis
.. lolFurthermore, I didn't even realize you were a woman anyways, till I just now happened to notice the "Mrs" at end of your post .. Guess that shows how well I pay attention .. heh
As far as what i said about porn being stashed in the woods...
UGHH lol I really cannot believe I have to explain this old adage / urban legend.. But that's ok .
Adage definition: a traditional saying expressing a common experience or observation; A saying that sets forth a general truth and that has gained credit through long use.
First off , you are totally out in left field... over the bleachers and out the park on that assumption to the meme I was trying to convey in the joke..
The adage being that every wooded area has porn hidden in it ..
Meaning, I at one time have found some in the woods , as well as seemingly every other teenage boy in the history of nudie mags and teenage adolescence .. LOL ..
Who knows, I guess maybe you would have to be a guy to understand and know about that one ...

I know what you meant about the collar but I just felt like being a smartass. lol
But I am also a prude, stuffy, when it comes to keeping society appropriate for kids.

Most boys find it in dad's bathroom, bedroom, garage, tool shed, etc., And when some boys see porn they get their sexuality all messed up from it.
Here's an historic example of this... There was some guy in the middle ages (wish I could remember his name, but I can't). Well, he became used to seeing statues of naked women as was popular in his time. Eventually he gets married. On the wedding night when he goes to consumate the marriage (that means... ... ... become sexually intimate with your new spouse for the first time) well he sees her nakedness in all it's glory and he is horrified, disgusted, and finds her totally grotesque.
See, the problem was those statues he was accustomed to viewing of naked women were lacking in some detail. Those statues didn't have pubic hair. His wife did. He would never sleep with his wife and after some time they ended up divorcing because he couldn't bring himself to overcome his disgust at the site of her being in her natural state.
I suppose a modern example would be to say,... women can't bring an airbrush artist on the honeymoon, and most are not going to get plastic surgery on their private parts just for a man's viewing pleasure.
National Geographic magazines are a much better introduction of sexuality for kids. At least it's realistic and natural. And it doesn't seem to pervert sexuality.
Mrs.Cw
Representations of nude genitalia, whether animal or human, should not be allowed in public. We shouldn't have to be subjected to that against our will. (And don't EVEN tell me not to look; I'm DRIVING and have no choice.) Sometimes, people try to be lewd without being held accountable for it. I remember similar street-corner lawyering happening here on TB until we finished kicking them all off the forum. Those of you who've been here a long time - remember those days, when the a-holes got by with skirting RIGHT on the edge and then defending themselves by bleating, "but your rules don't say I CAN'T!" Well, they don't say you CAN either.
Many people are total a-holes. And I for one don't feel like being forced to partake of their a-hole-ishness. Hang virtual scrota from your trucks when you get to the rodeo, cowboys. Not when driving down Main Street.

Are you suggesting that those of us who aren't offended by this should be kicked off the forum for not agreeing with you?
Funny, I'm not even surprised.
The problem with everyone who is offended by something, particularly something that is just gross and tasteless but not really harming anyone, is that we all do things that could be offensive to others. By trying to ban or control everyones behavior, and constantly telling others that they can't do this or can't do that just because we don't like it, we are just creating a society that is more and more under government control.
If this is the thing that gets peoples panties in a twist, then it's no wonder that our country is exactly where it is. With all the real, big, fish we have to fry in America these days, to focus so much negative energy on something that is just stupid, not really harmful, and would probably not even be noticed by most people. or even done by that many people if not for the shock value it is clearly generating, just seems silly.
The problem with constantly trying to "ban" anything that "we" find offensive is this.....who gets to decide?
I am much more offended by men who wear those little speedo bathing suits that leave nothing to the imagination and then strut up and down the beach. I am offended by thong bathing suits in public. I am offended by people with dirty feet and toenails who wear flip flops or sandles in public. I am offended by the mudflaps that portray a naked woman in a provacative pose. I am offended by people who drink to the point that they behave in a drunken way. I am offended by people who insist on talking so loudly in public that those around them are forced to hear more of what they say than they do the folks they are talking with. I am offended by people who don't control their children in public. I am really offended by people with bad table manners. Can I ban all these behaviors?
The reality is, we will all have things that offend us in life....if we all ban everything that offends us, no one will be able to do anything, because everyone is offended by something. Sometimes you just have to accept that others might do things that you find offensive.
Do I find it offensive that folks want to hang fake animal testicles in thier vehicle? Sure. I don't like it. Of course, I eat meat and I know many people who find that offensive. I also smoke, and we all know how offensive many folks find that.
I guess I just feel like part of living in a free society is that I have to put up with some of what others do that I don't like, and they have to put up with some of what I do that they don't like. Guess I am just silly that way. I'm sure I'm wrong and we should all get to ban any behavior we don't like. Who gets to decide? Please, pick me, pick me!!! I will decide for all of you based on my own tastes and preferences!!
And while we all fuss back and forth over whether someones fake animal testicles are damaging us beyond repair, and whether we can ban this behavior, our fearless leaders are all too ready to jump on the bandwagon and enact yet another silly law to give the government even more control over our lives. THAT is what I find truly offensive. Too bad more folks don't agree.

I have seen these bull-bags before, and it took me awhile to even particularly notice.
Why? Because they were not SHOUT OUT LOOK AT ME coloured.
You NEED a bull-bag on your truck? Hang those slate grey or EVEN CHROME ones.

Grow up, seriously.
MY PERSONAL ISSUE with this story, is the low-life perp's claim that this is some 'FREE SPEECH' issue.
She was asked to remove them, and preferred to "make a case" about it.
Free Speech is half-dead in the USA as it stands... it DOES NOT need such 'proponents'.

Oh My Gracious, Lolol! How old are you?
Some woman doesn't want to be bullied by the local sheriff, so she's a "low life perp", lol. Give me a break...it amazes me that, even in a forum like this, the "culture police" are quick to demand that others comply with their wishes or be villified and punished.
I have to also add that it seems really silly to get worked up about truck balls when there is so much truly offensive crap surrounding us at all times. Kids won't even pull their pants up and are literally inundated with sexual images daily...and we need to save the children from truck balls? lol, really...?
*disclaimer: I do not own a truck, or truck balls.
Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that people tend to not stand up for free speech when it doesn't suit them personally? Just a thought...
Yes, i have seen a few of those plastic testicles hanging from bumpers...first time i lol'd, but thereafter just ignore it. I think its bad taste really. Most young kids wouldnt know what they were, and if the kids knew, they knew...ya know? Its balls, males have 'em, their dog Rex has 'em and licks them constantly, fact of life.
You'd be more shocked to see a car going down the road with just married sign, with ballons and streamers and hauling cans and whatnot and... two nudie blowup dolls on their ass...now that is crass, but funny.

The purported 'lady' in question, was ASKED to turn down the stereo. Her response was, up the volume.
Oh no, she responded with a dangling fetus.
Oh, wrong again, she wants some Judge Judy fame... hehe (If Only!)
So, I'm a dingbat and a liberal, and God forbid we have any decency or culture in the US...because I won't stand up against truck balls? Maybe I just think that people don't have the right to impose their morality on others to such an absurd extent. I mean, what are you really suggesting, that we make yet another intrusive and unenforcable federal slippery slope law that tries to legislate good taste? I would have thought that Dennis at least would know better...
At the very least...am I not entitled to an opinion? I guess for some, anyone who disagrees is fair game for derision. Par for the course for some these days I suppose.
Speaking of...Kronos, you sound like a real piece of work. Pretty quick to label and insult both me and "the low life perp"...but then you wonder about what happened to free speech? Kind of ironic...

This whole thread is starting to read like a case study from a Freudian Psychology 101 lecture on Penis Envy (or perhaps the sub lecture on Testicle Envy) attended by a bunch of students who REALLY believe that meat comes from the corner grocery magically appearing in styrofoam trays wrapped in plastic. Or a PETA meeting.
The whole kid being facinated by animal boy parts pretty well dissapears about the first time you go running out into a field because your bull or ram looks like he can't stand up because of a broken leg or something, only to get close enough to see the only problem is he has one rear foot planted securely on his scrotum thus firmly nailing his body to the ground.
The urbanization of this country has IMO led to an almost total disconnect between what really happens in nature and results if the pussification of our nation. If more kids grew up with the cycle of life, there would be a whole lot less energy wasted on all the things which happen in the agrarian society (and society in general) and more attention paid to things which really are worth a tinker's dam.
Interesting to see the so called Libertarians getting all worked up over this issue of bull balls on trucks - thought the whole libertarian thing was non-interferance by the .gov or anyone. Sort of a live and let live attitude. Well, sometimes you ain't gomma be happy with what other do -- oh well.
I would a lot rather have a "statement" on the back of a truck or a t-shirt -- makes it easier to quickly make an educated guess who I want to associate with and who falls into the jerk/delayed adolesence catagory. YMMV

ETA Mountan Oysters are good with a little tobasco.
Your attempt at a metaphor is a little off. She wasn't asked to do anything, a sheriff demanded compliance and she refused, claiming she was within her rights. I happen to agree with her, as will the courts I'm sure.
Do I think truck balls are bad taste? Pretty much. Do I think we need a new law against truck balls? Sounds like a bad joke. Do I think someone with truck balls deserves to be labeled a "low life perp"? Sounds like you have anger issues that are misdirected. The real question is, why villify someone standing up for their rights in such a harmless mild way, whether misguided or not? "Low life perp" says it all...a disgraceful take on the events at hand IMO.
My bad, I thought there was rational thought hiding in there somewhere.
It's shocking to me as well, and a little bit of a wake up call. Seems that many people advocate for rights...right up until the moment they don't get their way.
I don't care a rat's ass about truck balls frankly; it's so far under my radar that it doesn't even blip. What does blip is the culture police demanding yet again that others fall in line with their sense of decency.

Hmmm.
I have spent several years of my life working in Slaughterhouses--Seen a many a bull, calf, sheep, goat, or pig testicle sitting in a tray. I assisted the Vet when my Dog needed a testicle removed due to some sort of infection. Eaten quite a several Sheep Balls Raw back when I was powerlifting, and one of The Vets that I worked with suggested that it might raise my testosterone levels.
Balls just aren't that risque' to me. On the other hand, the practice of eating Rocky Mountain Oysters--the Testicles from freshly castrated Pigs, absolutely horrifies me.
There is something very wrong about eating Porky's Nuts, while Porky is alive and well, and still breathing God's good air.

That was kinda his term for an Unassimilated Hillbilly.
Well actually, yes. That isn't precisely accurate, but far better to be thought a Hillbilly, than to be classified with the lock-step, unimaginative, "All-Lines-Are-Either-Perpendicular-Or-Parallel" Cube. I mean a Cube is Square no matter how you look at it.
"House" on TV is a great Role model for the would-be Square-Baiting Hipster.
I've also heard this referred to as "Borderline Asperger's Syndrome."
I remember when I was about 12 or 13 years old, my mother got the ambition to paint the house Fire-Engine Red. (The paint was actually meant to be used sparingly as trim--"Carnival Red" was its actual name.)
I don't think that she did it to honk people off--she just wanted our house to look a little Different.
It was a source of considerable Amusement and Satisfaction that we noticed how unhappy it made many of our Neighbors.

You will find quite a few here that CALL themselves Libertarian that actually hate the very concept. They use the word, but have no understanding what it means, and they want more controls and laws put on people than the majority of Liberals out there. It is obvious to everyone, but they insist on the charade. Quite amusing actually.....to watch those that say that are in favor of freedom spend so much energy trying to take it away from everyone else. Not fooling anyone but themselves.
I have to laugh....my BIL is the biggest bleeding heart liberal I have ever met, but he does not even want as many laws and as much government control as many here. Course, some folks are pretty soft and emotionally fragile down deep and just can't handle reality. I mean...animals have reproductive organs but they see it as something sexual....pretty sick when you really think about it.
Hey Greenspode, gimmee your address. One of these days I wanna show up at your front door with my d*ck in my hand. After all, you should be able to handle that reality. And a true Libertarian wouldn't mind.

The point I was making is that porn can mess up a guy's sexuality.
If a man needs his woman to look like a porn star to be able to have a sexual relationship with her, then he has had his sexually all messed up by the porn industry.
