    Virginia Lawmaker Seeks to Ban Replica Testicles on Trailer Hitches

    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 always hate it when rednecks do it... so I don't care if they are banned.

      I would hope the Virginia Legislature would have more pressing issues, but I can't say this is at all a bad idea.

                Yeap definitely have those out here in Cali, damn 909ers and their raised trucks. I'll never forget the first time I saw them, I was laughing for a couple minutes straight.

                So what else could be deemed "distracting". Big shiny chrome rims? Decals? Advertisements? I hate to stick up for those ball sacks but I've seen a lot of other cars with just as distracting elements as the hanging ball sack.

                      It's a pair of fake balls. Get over it.

                          Those things are disgusting. I've seen them once or twice.

                              I am really surprised how many people are so disgusted/angry over a pair of fake balls.

                              It's a fake scrotum people. Are you that insecure that the sight of a scrotum makes you uneasy?
