“Metal replicas of bull testicles have become trendy bumper ornaments in some parts of the Sunshine State, but state Sen. Carey Baker is campaigning to ban the orbs.
Baker acknowledged that Florida lawmakers have more pressing issues, including huge revenue shortfalls, but said the state needs to draw a line on what’s obscene before more objectionable adornments appear.” Source story can be found here.
BAHAHAHAHAHA! (wheeze!) Hahahahahaha! (suck wind!) Must…have…air…! (attempting to collect myself) Ok, let me see if I have this straight. Florida legislature is taking up precious time and taxpayer dollars to determine if little metal testicles are obscene or not. Do allow me throw my Ugly Ass Opinion into the ring.
#1 They depict testicles. Not human testicles, mind you, animal testicles. Anyone who has ever driven past a farm has probably noticed a pair. Anyone who has ever owned a fully functioning male dog, cat, guinea pig or almost any other ’standard’ pet has seen them before, including children.
#2 As a parent, I can promise you that by the time a kid is old enough to realize what the balls actually are, they’ve already seen far more graphic things portrayed in the media. I don’t care how vigilant you are as a parent, at one point or another your kids will see erectile dysfunction commercials or witness water buffalo screwing on Animal Planet.
#3 Animal Balls? Really? I’ve seen bumper stickers and T-shirts I find far more offensive, haven’t you? Shoot–check out the posters in the kid aisle of any major retail store. Some of the racy half nekkid people on those aren’t appropriate for children, yet they’re mixed right in there with Hannah Montana and Spongebob Squarepants. Look at CD covers openly displayed in any music section. I’d rather my kids see little fake bull balls than some of the graphic art found in the music aisle.
…And yet lawmakers are worried about a pair of these hanging on the bottom of trucks hauling cattle. (snort!)

This is so funny! I don’t find them offensive and I have children, we just laugh. Shoot, the children don’t normally even notice. They see more crap surfing the TV at 8am in the morning than those poor fake balls.
One morning while we were looking for a movie to watch (I think kids were home from school or something), I venture to cable movie channels and guess what? Soft porn on in the morning, during children shows….omg…I changed it quickly LOL. While I don’t agree with it being on at that time, I also know, if I don’t like it, I can change the channel, which I did. The government has definitely been overstepping lately, especially very recently; what gives? oh well, that is a whole other discussion.
