Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state. Because taxpayers really need to waste their money paying the salary of state officials who are not afraid to tackle the big, important issues.No surprise that it's from a Republican who finds the adornments offensive, but I was shocked to find our that when Cary Baker proposed the ban, he is a gun shop, which in Florida, sounds exactly like the type of douche to have a fake set on the back of his vehicle. According to the bill, motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by classy brand names like "Truck Nutz" and "Bull Balls".
The Florida Senate voted last week to add the measure to a broader transportation bill, but it is not included in the House version, some it is questionable where this terrific provision will reach the voting stages - and the bill's own sponsor believes it would not pass. In debate, the uptight lawmakers got to make comments laced with double entendre and questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories. How titillating they've made stuffy, boring government!
Critics of the ban included the senate's own Rules chairman, Jim King, (strangely also) a Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested. Looks like she does have have his balls...

You could change your blog to just be a Florida Watch blog. But i think there might already be a FL/Germany blog, or something.
A neighbor of mine has these dangling from his Jeep, the flesh toned ones. He said he has had several people complain to him, one lady followed him into a store and lit into him. But he's a tough, big guy. i think he welcomes the haters, just like i am sure the co. loves the bad press.
