Jan. 14: Del. Lionel Spruill, D-Cheasapeake, looks through papers at his desk on the floor of the House of Delegates at the Capitol in Richmond, Va.
RICHMOND, Va. — It's one thing to dangle fuzzy dice from a rear view mirror, but decorating a trailer hitch with a large pair of rubber testicles might be a bit much in Virginia.

State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue because it could distract other drivers.

Under his measure, displaying the ornamentation on a motor vehicle would be a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $250.

He said the idea came from a constituent whose young daughter spotted an example of the trail hitch adornment and asked her father to explain it.

"'I didn't know what to tell her,"' Spruill said the constituent told him before Spruill vowed to stop such displays.

"I said, 'Sir, I'm going to be a laughingstock, but I'm going to do it,"' he said.

The Virginia General Assembly has some experience with offbeat bills. Three years ago, it drew widespread attention with an unsuccessful effort to outlaw baggy pants worn so low they expose underwear.

Spruill, 61, said the indignity of the "droopy drawers" debate wouldn't deter him. He said he won't hesitate to bring a set of $24.95 trailer testicles with him for a legislative show-and-tell.

"I'm going to do it," Spruill told a handful of reporters after Tuesday's House session adjourned. "I'm going to bring them out here and show them to you till they tell me to stop."

I remember, about 23 years ago, driving with my then 3 year old son, and seeing a bumper sticker that said 'SHIT HAPPENS' and wondering how I was going to try and instill any sense of values in my son when that kind of thing was everywhere. Common sense and decency seemed to have taken a permanent vacation.

Years have passed and I have learned that my sons sense of whats right and wrong comes from me, his mother, and OUR values and that none of the outside stuff really mattered.

Still....can't help longing for a more gentile time when 'Shit Happens' was a quiet laugh among good friends and not some asswipes decision to impose his lack of any standard on everyone...



btw...pretty funny post. I have seen those things and they don't make me laugh...but then, I have no sense of humor.

[Doc]

I think it is funny to see a chick driving a vehicle with them...

A guy... not so much.

[R1slowflyer]

I think its funny that this is important and that it was even addressed.

come on now! Its dumb enough that they exist and that people buy them, but why bring them more attention and try to ban them WTF.

[DucDave]

...yep...just another example of the ongoing decline in common courtesy and good taste...nothing to be done about it...

Im so glad our lawmakers dont have anything better to worry about than something like this. Thank god our countrys not at war, and violence isnt on the rise, and theres no constant threat of terrorism, etc etc. Thank god fake testies on the back of some hicks truck is the most important thing facing our country.

That was pretty much my point. Regards, Jake

Laugh if you will, but I thinkt hey should be banned a well. If you have to be 18 to view that shit in a store, you should not be allowed to have it dangling where every elementary school kid heading to soccer practice can see it.

That being said, I used to have a sticker that said "fuck work" on my instrument case in college. When I went to my father's elementary school as a demonstrator/speaker, I took the sticker off. Common courtesy has not been lost on all people, or even most, but that minority is screwing the rest of us over.

+1 If you can't flaunt the real thing in public w/o getting arrested, what makes you think you can display a replica? I don't see fake penises & vaginas out in public, do you?

I don't see why Americans are so uptight about the human body.

IT'S A FUCKING BODY PART ON THE BACK OF A VEHICLE....BIG FUCKING DEAL!


LIKE YOUR LITTLE 5 YEAR OLD DOESN'T HAVE A SET OF NUTS HUH?


The guy wants to know how to explain it to his bratty little kid????? say .." well honey, in about 10 years from now you'll know exactly what they are".

so...seriously...where do you draw the line?

how 'bout a dummy of two guys performing fellatio on each other? big giant poster on the back of a pick up? or maybe a woman being fucked by a donkey? how 'bout a video of necrophilia (its just a body) popping up when you kids are watching cartoons? would THAT offend you?

the point is what doesn't offend you may offend someone else....and the problem is, figuring out who really has the problem? the one offending or the one offended.

and the answer is, as always, common courtesy...and maybe you just don't have any


and yes...I do find your picture offensive in this forum...and no, I don't think its my problem. Do you think the two girls in that picture are really drunk? I do. I wonder how you would feel it it turned out that that was your mother. And someone sent it to you 30 years after that picture was taken. Jesus, amazed I even have to point it out...

[Pittenger5]

The point is everything that is around will offend someone, I think its time we stop banning everything that one person finds offensive, and worry about the greater threats. Like this whole push to ban baggy pants, who cares, especially if they have underwear on. You see more skin at the beach. I think these people need to stop worry about what offends 3 people and worry what affects the rest of the community. Plus, if the kid doesnt know what they are, its not hard to make up an excuse, they're weights or something, I dunno. If they do know what they are, guess what, with the magic of the internet, even if they're a girl, theyve seen them.

[TheIglu]

Lets shield our kids from every possible inconvenience or unpleasant thing in the world. That will be good for everyone involved.

Once again, more and more people bitching about the world being altogether too PC yet being in agreement that there needs to be laws against things they simple can't TURN YOUR EYES AWAY FROM.

Go move to some crazy third world country somewhere else that regulates everything you say, hear, see and experience. Leave this country to those of us who have enough self worth to realize seeing a sticker that says "SHIT", a pair of plastic balls, a statue of David, a bluge in a Ken dolls pants or taking the "lords" name in vain is JUST THAT and will mean NOTHING unless you make it anything else.


FUCK

[OreoGitorio]

Hey, i'm just sayin that we can't see vaginas in public, how come chicks can see balls?

IT'S NOT FAIR, DAMNIT!

But, given that 80% of your body heat leaves through your head, this time of year you need a really good hat....

I am most certain you meant " Helmet" not " Hat".
