Rubber Junk -- THAT Kind of Junk -- Under Attack in Virginia

Posted by Bryan Christian

 

Guess we shouldn't have let our subscription to Truck and Crazy Ass Redneck Driver lapse, because apparently some folks like to hang plastic nutsacks off the backs of their pickup trucks -- and this is the first that we've heard about it!

Our Bulls Balls are the Original Truck Nuts on the Internet.
These Classic Bulls Balls and Big Boy Nuts styles can be mounted any way you wish.
Our Hitch Hanger Assembly is an available option.  Order below for easy hanging on both styles.

Mounted any way we wish? SOLD!

Actually, not everyone's as hot for these things as much as we are. Take Virginia resident Lionel Spruill, for instance. Spruill happens to be a State Delegate, and his most recent delegatin' move has been to introduce a law which would ban replica testicles from the backs of automobiles, claiming it's a safety hazard. Said the AP: "Spruill, a Democrat from Portsmouth, would make display of the ornamentation on a motor vehicle a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $250." A-ha! Saving the rear-end ball swinging for those horse-and-carriage-riding fatcats in Colonial Williamsburg, eh?

Seen these around my sister's house- out in the country. In fact, one of her husband's cute single friends was over when I walked in, choking with laughter about having seen  a pair while driving with my mom (she alomst went off the road). After mocking the owner of the truck, my bro's friend (did I mention he was hot?) proudly admitted to owning some himself (plus some on his truck). Never before has there been a more defining moment of knowing someone was not for me. Unless you count the guy who cleaned his ears at the table (with his finger!! and that glob of wax was huge!! and wiped it on the tablecloth!!!!!!).

Scanner totally reported on their appearance awhile ago.  I think the new bloggers need to look into some back posts.

I have seen these in the wild. Comes with living in Texas I guess. The pair I had the dubious pleasure of being exposed to were actually chrome, I believe. Extra classy.

Sadly, these are also popular in rural KY. First time I saw them was when I was out in the state meeting my boyfriend's family. Here's to hoping that law migrates a little west.
