Don't show your testicles in SC

http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Another-testicle-ticket-written-in-South-Carolina-3540126.php

This ticket was written right here in Sparkle City

I was thinking of putting some on the dirt car, but afraid they would get ripped off.

I've also learned to keep my testicles in my pants

The only set I've seen on a car that I didn't think were stupid and distasteful were attached to the Opel that runs Chumpcar... is that someone on here?

I think they are stupid but why are they outlawed?

WHEW, thank god I've never done the "Bat Wing" in South Caro....oh E36 M3. Nevermind. Kershaw.

I see them a lot down here. Its dumb.

The testicle thing is part of a law which was passed in reaction to those 'Calvin peeing' decals that were everywhere. The law says you can't display bodily functions or similar on a vehicle. http://www.lawserver.com/law/state/south-carolina/sc-code/south_carolina_code_56-5-3885

The stickers and the testicles are in really poor taste, but obscene? I dunno.

South Carolina is just one of many places I won't show my testicles, but mine are OEM.

Maybe they just wrote a stupid law so a cop would have probable cause to get in your shorts.

I'm glad they are banned. Simply because I'm sick of seeing them. The very first set I saw approached funny for .25 seconds. Then it was stoopid. Each time I see them, it's stoopider.

I just saw my post, next to my avatar. Should I change my avatar?

Just cause it is stupid is that really a reason to ban something?

@DrBoost: Not until it stops making me laugh.

Even to people who appreciate a good dick joke, truck nuts just aren't very funny.

Did the officer really use "anatomically correct" or was that the numbnutz that wrote the article? Correct for what? A vehicle?

Yes. The first step is to ban stupid people

Damn! I was just going to ask if 2.7L 4-runner owners were subject to the same ticket if they opened the hood of their vehicle in public.

now if they could only figure out a way to ban those "cruisin in memory of..." stickers.

I had NEVER seen those, until I moved further south in VA.

and maybe I just have a lousy attitude but they are berkeleying stupid.

Kershaw is not part of SC. Not really sure exactly what it is...

Or those roadside memorials. Folks, I am deeply saddened by the loss of your family member, truly I am.

But there is a time and a place for everything and this ain't it. The state has already said they won't keep them up or remove them, you bust your hump for six months to maybe a year to keep it looking reasonable, then you move on with your life, quit with it and it turns into what looks like tattered garbage. Is that really how you want your loved one remembered?

I thought that we, in America, had basically settled on the following rule of thumb:

If it's something that would cause an uncomfortable conversation between a parent and a 5 y.o., then you can't do it in public.

I can't believe those stupid things have lasted (legally) this long.

On a side note, who is surprised that these guys in the giant trucks have placed male genitalia on them? That's right, nobody.

Quick! Someone fabricate a speedo for Truck Nutz! Profit!!!!1!!1

In my narrow-minded world it is haha.

you almost owed me a keyboard

I hate those things. I really do. And, I'm no prude, but I do find them mildly offensive. However...

I don't think they should be illegal. That's kinda stupid. I don't like rap music and I find a lot of it mildly offensive, but I don't want to outlaw it either.
