Ban the Rubber Balls
- January 15th, 2008 8:15 pm
There are several raging, rant filled roads that I could take as far as cars, driving, and traffic go. However, my annoyance is not always with the driving capacity of the person behind the wheel. In fact, often it’s due to the person’s exterior car decor.
That’s right, folks.
You see, I live in what most consider the South. And in the South, bumper stickers are the least of the problem.
In fact, while speeding leisurely gunning it down the road I was greeted with the sloppy sight of imitation male genitalia hanging from the back of the pick-up truck in front of me.
Right again, imitation genitalia.
Just when you think driving could not get any worse, some idiot with dangling plastic male privates pulls up in front of you. It was as if it was his job to ensure everyone had seen the grossest part of the male anatomy.
Seriously. Rubber balls adorning a the hitch of a truck. I’ve officially seen it all.
PS. Someone is trying to get them banned in Virginia.

LOL! This was so not what I was expecting your post to be about. This is so bad! I’m in the south (Tennessee) so I share your pain. Now if I could just get the mental image out of my head!

I live in Nashville and went to visit my parents in Memphis. We were driving down the road and a truck with balls pulled in front of us. I couldn’t believe it! And then, my mom said, “yeah, it’s all the rage, now.” Like it was no big deal and she wasn’t totally grossed out by it.

Hi there! I live in Idaho and I’ve seen these balls hanging from truck hitches a few times. Try explaining that one to 7, 8, and 12 year old girls asking if there are balls on that truck and why?

I live in a place that has a lot of trucks. When I began noticing those stupid balls, I was disgusted (and we both know I’m no prude). I already assume that these guys with the very large trucks are trying to compensate for something lacking in the genitalia department, but now they’ve gone and confirmed it.
Every time I see a truck with them, I say to my husband, “I wonder where that professor is going.” Because we all know truck balls advertise that the person driving is of superior intellect. I was so excited yesterday when the husband forwarded that news story about them possibly being banned in Virginia. Too bad I don’t live there.

Do they have to be so saggy? What did they use for the mold an 80 year old?

as soon as i started reading this, i knew what you were talking about…’cause my cousin has them! nasty things!
his girlfriend works at a spa doing manis and pedis. she was doing a regular customers nails, and her customer started to talk about this truck in the parking lot with “testicles” hanging from the hitch. so Rachel said “ya…that’s my boyfriend’s truck…i had to borrow it…he’s really NOT a prick…” she was so embarrassed…i would be too!

I totally agree! Those are completely disgusting! Contrary to what many men think, I don’t think women generally think the male “package” is something you want to look at and ooh and ahh over…especially hanging off the back of a pickup. While I strongly agree in the freedom of speech, i strongly doubt that most dumb*sses that have these really have something important to say. Makes me think I should go get a great big vagina to put on my DH’s trailer hitch.

The rubber balls are EVERYWHERE! We have them all over our little redneck town and they drive me insane. The saddest part? Some of the rubber ball owners are women and yes, it is their trucks. I do not know or even want to know what the fascination is by these things. I just wish they would disappear..
