Nevermind the bollocks

Greensboro blogger Ed Cone points to a story about a Virginia legislator trying to outlaw truck ornamants that resemble...well, bull testicles.

No, really.

I've yet to see these things on the road, but apparently a lot of guys (and gals, potentially) with pickup trucks like to hang them from their trailer hitches.

The offending pair:

The legislator says he doesn't want to have to explain to his granddaughter what these things are supposed to be. To which I say -- hope she doesn't have a dog at home, pal.

Absolutely in bad taste -- but if Virginia's going to begin outlawing that, the legislature is going to be mighty busy...
