Va. considers ban on genitalia displays

[Saguaro]

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."

That is just plain stupid. There are plenty of odd and crazy things out there in the world. PEOPLE NEED TO MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS!!!!

*btw I think those are incredibly poor taste, but that is just me.

I am so sick of people trying to moralize society with their laws.

I think the majority of people want the government out of their business. Liberals and conservatives. What is the matter with the people we elect? They don't sound like that when we vote for them. Could we get a warrenty on them? Thirty days to return them if they don't work as claimed?

Now there's an idea.

Hmm I think that there are plenty who support this legislation. It is that fine line. Check out the thread about smoking in a car to see how this train wreck got started. Many people think that their beliefs are the "right" beliefs and want to make everyone else like that.

As an official representative of the main say so, "Gay Pride Parade" will now be refered to as "Sodomania". It is part of the truth in media campaign. :)
