Fake Private Parts Are No Joke, Myers (Maryland state Delegate) Says

[theaudacity]

As the General Assembly debates global warming and the death penalty, Myers (R-Washington) has something else on his mind: the outsized plastic testicles that truckers dangle from the trailer hitches of their pickups.

To some truckers, they are manly expressions of rural chic. But Myers, who says his Western Maryland district is brimming with giant fakes on the roadways, calls them vulgar and immoral -- and filed legislation this week to outlaw them.

"People are making a joke out of it," Myers said yesterday. "But I think it's a pretty serious problem. You have body parts hanging from the hitches of cars. We've crossed a line."

(note: The bill only outlaws hanging FAKE testicles from your truck. Real ones are still fair game)

1. Maybe that means "Dr" Bodkin from Huntington Indiana will be able to provide his services...

voluntary castration. When he gets out of prison.

Apparently he is out of prison. He supposedly had his name changed and moved out of state.

[razors edge]

2. * will call in all his favors

to have this vetoed.

If it becomes law he will never be able to strut his cod piece on a carrier after he bombs Iran back to the industrial age.

7. this is a state law... I dont think Bush has veto power. nt

[razors edge]

8. That is why he would need to

call in favors, otherwise he could do it himself.

3. Idiocracy. For the people, by the people...

5. Figures it would be a Republican, all worried about the size of someone else's 'balzac' as it were

........His bill would prohibit motorists from displaying anything resembling or depicting "anatomically correct" or "less than completely and opaquely covered" human or animal genitals, human buttocks or female breasts. The offense would carry a penalty.

A hunter could still throw a freshly killed and uncovered deer in the back of his pickup, though, because the deer's body parts would be real, Myers said......Myers's fellow lawmakers seemed bemused. "Hmmm. Is this what the framers had in mind?" Del. Tom Hucker (D-Montgomery) asked jokingly.

The truck ornament industry is not amused. "It's not a perverted sexual thing at all," said David Ham, founder of Your Nutz, a San Diego-based business that sells more than 200 kinds of fake testicles. "It's a sense of humor. This lawmaker is looking out for two or three old women in tennis shoes. He's got too much time on his hands."

Ham said he shipped about 100 orders last year to customers in Maryland and Virginia. He said those who support a ban would do well to recall that 50 years ago, many people in the nation lived on farms. "Did all the little donkeys and sheep walk around with their panties on so children wouldn't see their bodies?" he asked.

The bill is now in the House Rules Committee. "I think it's a terrible bill," Chairman Hattie N. Harrison (D-Baltimore) said yesterday, but she agreed to defer to her colleagues on whether to let it die a quick death in committee or assign it to another one for a full debate.

6. And don't use the word 'scrotum' in a book.

9. But a plastic Camel Toe is OK?

Thats it.

I am gonna run out and find a giant plastic Camel Toe to put on the trailer hitch of my pickup. :evilgrin:

10. Somebody needs to shove some of those fake testicles down

a certain lawmaker's throat.

[Amused Musings]

11. When you say it like that,

then yes, yes I start to giggle uncontrollably.


I may be 22, but I am not an adult.

12. Solution: Insist On REAL Ones!

Darwinian Socialism at its finest and aptest application.

[Solo_in_MD]

13. Right up there with the recent attempt in UT to regulate mudlfaps

[smtpgirl]

16. The MD General Assembly should concentrate on matters

that make a difference.

I have never seen those balls in person, but would laugh at it.

Those people putting them on their vehicles should be avoided at any cost.

[gratuitous]

14. Will this outlaw the hot babe silhouettes too?

Okay, this stupid proposal clearly isn't going to go anywhere, and Dingleberry--sorry, Representative Dingleberry needs to find something else to spend his time on.

15. any photos

[truthisfreedom]

17. Criminy. Untold numbers of dead civilians in Iraq and we have to deal with this.

May I scream, please?

[Quantess]

18. Outlawing them would be a mistake.

Outlawing testicles-on-the-trailer-hitch would only make them seem cool and rebellious.

Plus, dumbasses would have a harder time outing their poor taste!

19. This Guy Needs Something To Do.

Would somebody please give this guy something to do?
