Hey Chris Shunk...it's painfully eveident that you are incredibly selfish, totally insensitive, and morally bankrupt.
When I first saw the trailer hitch adornment I was pissed off. Why? Do you walk around with your balls hanging out of your pants?!?!?
Secondly, do you want children to see that? That's no different than a flasher exposing himself at a elementary playground.
Thirdly, when my wife saw it, she was not only offended, disgusted, and frightened (a lot of female rape victims out there).

hey PapaWhiskey,
What do you do when you see a bull or any other animal with testicles? I agree that 'truck nutz' aka bull testicles are a rather childish and stupid way to convince one's self of one's own manliness, but how can you stop at this. There are other symbols of masculinity, virility and/or aggressiveness out there. If you must might I suggest those corny barb wire bicep tattoos.

PapaWhiskey:
Hint: THEY'RE FAKE!!!
A flasher exposing himself at a playground is a clear and present danger to children... a decoration on a car is NOT!
Sorry about your wife, but honestly... frightened? They're truck nuts, not an M16 fer cryin out loud. Is the truck going to rape someone? Pull your head out of the sand.
I don't even like the things! I think they're ugly and hopelessly macho. But damn, just because we don't like something, doesn't mean the government should burn tax dollars deciding it's offensive for us. THAT, my friend, is offensive. As if there are no greater problems in Florida than truck nuts. Ridiculous!!!

As a Floridian myself and a former state-of-Florida employee who left due to what has been dubbed 'Amendment 1 cutbacks' -I can not believe this is actually being debated on the Congressional Floor! People are losing their livelihoods due to a lack of funding and these guys invade personal rights EVEN MORE than they already have to say that truck nutz are a no go. As already stated, clearly these jack asses have their priorities in order.

i cant believe all these douchebags that are saying things like:
'thats offensive"
how do i explain them to my kid"
1. your a tool
2 you dont have to explain them to your kid.
if you dont want your kid to see a FAKE pair of testicles, then why dont you go around castrating every animal on the planet.
i think some people just need to take their bibles, shove them up their @$$es, and lock themselves in their rooms so they dont ever come across anything that might offend or confuse them.
on second thought... kill yourself and your kids. the world is FAR better off without people like you reproducing.

PapaWhiskey, do you go about covering the testicles of every animal that you see? Try covering the balls of a Doberman or Rottweiler and see what he'll do.
If you're that scared of your children looking at balls and going all confused, you're just leading them down the path of wrong sexual education. Imagine what would happen when they're sexually active and want to know more about life in general. Gosh, I have no kids and am more mature than you are.
If your wife is that scared in real life (wow! I'm farkin amazed!), send her to the desert. Every inhabited place on this planet has its share of rapists, wankers, coke dealers and what not.
