Virginia attempts to ban "replica human genitalia" on vehicles

[jmur5074]

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've seen a dozen or so of those on vehicles in my area. It was funny the first couple of times, but now if I see a "pair" I don't think anything of it...

What so now I have to use real ones?

[Hannibal]

They were concerned because Virginian was always chasing the trucks in an attempt to lick the balls; thereby causing a potential traffic hazzard. That's why they really wanted to ban them.

If left out the part about the Delegate who is black stating that "all the rednecks and Good Ole' Boys" were displaying them. When I heard that I went out and bought a pair............Sheriff said I couldnt put them on my patrol car.

All it takes to explain it to little girls is "it's a boy truck." Little boys should already know. And if these people get offended by this, I suppose they're going to legislate underwear for animals, too.
