65-year-old South Carolina woman goes to trial for dangling fake testicles ("truck nuts") from her pickup truck (lawyer, crimes)

Not a reason to go to trial. Don't they have better things to do than harrass people with truck nuts?

Some of us just think they're funny.

Trust me. I'm not a redneck. As for having class, well, I guess that's subject to debate. I yam what I yam.

The first time I saw them I was with my daughter going into the grocery store and we laughed. I told her that I should buy some and put them on my brothers truck but he would be so mortified that he wouldn't see the humor in it.

I've seen plenty of that in FL. Idiotic and redneck-ish, yes. But should it be illegal? That's ridiculous.

Drivers beware if a car rearends you it will break your nuts!! Ahhhh! LOL

Nothing about offending someones sensitive feelings. I guess they never watch animal planet or see bulls in a field.

Or those donkeys at the state fair. Holy moley!

As for a distraction? I don't think it is any more distracting than those Pizz on window decals, bumper stickers, nekkid lady mud flaps, ground effect lights, thumping car stereos, etc.

I find them rather funny -- some local guy has them on his VW bug.

Those po widdle chilrin are probably the ones laughing their butts off at it.

Yeah the legal system needs to take time to decide something this friggen stupid. Unbelievable.

Bonneau, SC must have solved all other crime issues so that this is now a top priority. It sounds more like something that a homeowners' association would be enforcing. Maybe some Freudian envy is going on?

Well I hate to be the spoiler but I am. I was prepared to say no, until I saw them.......that is disgusting. I see no difference in a man opening his trenchcoat and exposing himself to this. Not for public consumption, sorry.

The Truck Nuts Paradox: The person who thought to create and market them is a genius. Anyone who has a set on their vehicle is an imbecile.
