I've never seen the 'natural' look. Around here it's mainly tennis balls in a bit of netting. Of course, one guy had fist sized stainless steel ball bearings in a loose mesh bag and another used the blue rubber balls made for racquetball!

I can't believe some idiot politician is actually pushing to waste taxpayer money to create another piece of legislation.
Man, people have to become less anal about every little thing that doesn't fit into their view of society. |

That's pretty much their sole job though. |

Man, you guys will take any topic to the height of stupidity.
Maybe this politician has a twelve year old daughter like I do.
And that's a real problem.
No doubt, I, and anyone else who has a daughter is going to have her ask the question......
"Daddy, what kind of a pinhead guy would drive around with a plastic scrotum on their truck hitch?"
Oh, the shame!!!!
What do I tell her?????
That this is an aberration?
That this is not normal?
That this behavior is a highly evolved, intellectual statement?
Gimme a f*ckin' break!
I'm trying to figure out what the attraction is in the first place.
And what would any guy who has one of them say if you asked if perhaps he had a fascination with male genitalia?
Don't even need to go there, do we, what with the type of people who drive those trucks being generally homophobic.
So where did this absurd trend start anyway?
I'm just constantly amazed by the things guys come up with that make me embarrassed for my gender on a regular basis.
Yeah, it's idiotic to waste time, money, and effort on legislation for something like this.....it's worse that the situation exists that could support it.

The pinkish ones creep me out.
I guess they're all about letting your (that's a generic 'your') testoserone hang out.... |

Nothing like a little stereotyping to get the day going.
Might be interesting to note that almost every gay man I know (personally, not online) drives a pickup truck. Hmmmm homophobic homosexuals. Now there's an interesting thought.
That said, I live in one of the most redneck parts of the country and I don't think I've ever seen one of these around. Guess they just haven't been discovered, yet. |

First they outlaw in-camera image overlay and now truck nuts.
That's okay; I wasn't using my civil liberties anyway.
:D
Good morning everyone from Utah!

Our neighbors across the street have a pair dangling from their BHT (Big Honkin' Truck). I look at it this way (well, actually, I try not to look at them at all :)...
My daughter is 8, and she'd have no idea what they are and has never questioned them, despite the fact that the truck is generally always parked in plain view of our yard. I'm sure at her age she just assumes it's part of the truck and has some sort of purpose. She'd never give it a second thought.
I figure when she's old enough to recognize what they are, she'll probably be old enough to recognize the humor in it, and that's that. I won't be adorning my own truck with balls anytime soon, or my other cars with any other random body parts, but I don't really see the harm, personally. |

I have a great 'Asylum Street Spankers' version of that song, on their album 'Dirt Ditties'
We used to sing it to our friend's young son, in the hope that it would be his first word... |

I just have one question.....aren't any of you guys at all embarrassed at the tastelessness of it?
I mean, it's not like I find it offensive so much as stupid.
What, where, when, and how did it come to pass that a few guys were sitting around, and the great idea of the day was,"Hey! Let's make some big ol' plastic ball sack to hang off the trailer hitch on the truck! Wouldn't that be cool?"
I just don't get it.........it's just embarrassing......8>)
I way like the fake bulletholes on a scrufty truck better.....or even REAL ones!

this whole thread was kind of tongue-in-cheek. OF COURSE they're tacky. but i don't think they're legislation-worthy.
my truck is happily nut-free.
i will point out, however, that the truck nuts i posted earlier in the thread were on a truck parked in front of a gay leather bar with a bumper sticker that reads "i {heart} my wiener." somehow, i don't think that's a homophobic thing going on there. |

Well.....I KNEW that!
It's funny that the truck in question is as you state.
Around here, it's only seriously one-eyebrowed, knuckle-dragging, gen-you-wine rednecks that drive the trucks that havbe those things.
My whole pst about what I'd say to my daughter was tongue-in-cheek, too.
I guess it's like I always say.......when it comes to humor, I'm one hell of a mechanic!
The two funniest things I've seen/heard come out of Maryland?
A bumper sticker that asks: "Have you flogged your crew today?"
And a drink cooler: "Annapolis: A drinking town with a sailing problem."

Ever been on a working ranch//farm or to a rodeo? You will see plenty of and where the idea came from.
I think they are mainly placed on a vehicle to show that the owner considers it a boy. The reciever hitch would be a good place for a girl "display." :) LIke placing a rubber orchid in there....like this.

I always thought it was to confirm that they really were using their car to compensate for something. |

Around here, it is usually signified by having two shotguns in the rack instead of the normal one.
