If you've got 'em, hang 'em from your bumper, or not!
Most people are content to just leave their trailer hitch bare when they aren't pulling anything. Most people are also content to keep their reproductive organs in their pants when they're driving. And then there are those that feel as though they must use their hitch to show the world what they wish they had. For that latter group, they created bumper-nuts. The name and the photo above are pretty self-explanitory, so any further elaboration would be even more egregious than the nuts themselves, although if you must know more I would highly recommend the discourse on the subject in Episode 64 of the Bob and AJ show, where topic is covered with all the required delicacy.
Now however, in the wake of a failed attempt to ban indecent mudflaps in Arizona, Maryland Delegate LeRoy Meyers Jr. has decided to try and castrate afficiandos of vehicular testes. Meyers' district has apparently been overrun with big balls (there is no word on whether drivers of such vehicles also tend to crank AC/DC) and he feels they are vulgur and immoral. He has introduced a bill to prohibit drivers from displaying anything that looks like "anatomically correct" or "less than completely and opaquely covered" human or animal genitals, human buttocks or female breasts. Fresh roadkill or deer hunting trophies would be exempted because they are apparently real. Are there no larger issues to address in Maryland than trying to legislate bad taste?

A guy got fired from my company a week after he started because he somehow decided it would be a good idea to grab our HR Director (who is a woman) and drag her out to the parking lot to show her just how cool the bumpernuts on his '84 Corvette were.

Never get the need some people have for putting idiotic things on their cars like bumper stickers, spoilers, etc.

That picture is perfect! I definitely see those ridiculous things on Dodge Ram pickups more than anything else. That says a lot for the demographic. Only a cromagnum idiot would actually pay money for those and then actually mount them on their vehicle and drive around. Very low class.

I've seen them around here on Jeeps, pickups, SUVs... no cars yet though. I think they're completely retarded and show not only that the person is totally white trash, but a total idiot as well - though the two may go hand in hand.
Having said that, trying to ban them is completely moronic. Why not ban the little Calvin guy pissing on everything?

What? Put something that stupid on a vehicle and think it is cool? Or legislate more rights away from ALL Americans (Marylanders in this case) because a few of them have poor taste?
No thanks I don't want the nuts or the laws to prevent them. Personally I have kids and do not wish to get in a situation where I need to explain any of those anatomically correct body parts on vehicles. But I will do just fine without more population modification legislation too.

Wait- did he brag on having an '84 Vette?

"Anatomically correct"?
If that were the case, wouldn't there be at least a few "fake" hairs on this product?
I used to think bull horns on the front of cars or trucks looked juvenile...this product is LOTS more ridiculous. And besides, shouldn't it be attached at the FRONT of the truck in this picture?

My neighbor (I live in boring middle-class suburbia) has those on his truck and his family's next-door neighbors (good friends of ours) left him a polite letter on his truck asking him to take them off. He didn't. Hell, I should have just gone in with some garden shears or something.
Funny enough, even though he goes to college in West Virginia, drives a pickup with testicles, and owns an AK-47, his girlfriend still won't admit that he's a redneck.
Legislation in this case is stupid...let the people make fools of themselves. Or you could legalize cutting them off as well, and let people with taste take the law into their own hands.
