A couple of trips to the store this weekend and I have decided to make my own Venn diagram.
Well that was a decent Mandelbrot Moment!

By the way, nice Venn diagram. Everyone should have at least one, imo.

Where on earth do you live?
One would conclude Redneck, Heartland, wouldn't one?
And what message is plastic testicles on a trailer hitch supposed to convey?
An excellent question.
Perhaps the same thing that a decal of Calvin peeing on the ground is supposed to convey. I am always seized with the urge to run up to drivers with these decals, bite my lip and say "You rebel you!"

Yep, I'd hazard a guess that that one is 100% statistically valid.
ThomasT, you are a fortunate man indeed to have never encountered this atrocity.

why not L.A., or D.C.?

you're supposed to mount that decal over a Chevy bowtie. never been to a NASCAR race?
I must admit, I really thought testicle-shaped truck ornamentation was exclusively American. I guess I assumed no one else could be so...freaking obnoxious.
I wonder, from which side of the border did they come? Whichever side it was should apologize :tongue2:.

These might be [becoming] illegal in some USA states, maybe. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

eh? what next, will there be a law requiring you to neuter your dog if you take him in public?Indeed. The hanging of fake bull testicles from one's vehicle seems to be an accepted practice in many areas -- apparently signifying one's right to be marginally naughty. And, it's funny.
According to the Post and Courier link above:
State law says, "A sticker, decal, emblem, or device is indecent when taken as a whole, it describes, in a patently offensive way, as determined by contemporary community standards, sexual acts, excretory functions, or parts of the human body."This seems pretty patently subjective, especially as more and more people jump on the marginally naughty bandwagon to display fake bull testicles, fake chicken gizzards, fake mutilated aardvark nostrils, and similar stuff.
Let's hope that the defendant mentioned in the link above gets off.
Thanks to Dave and Mark for opening this can of fake worms. Ooh, another naughty ornament idea?
And if, as was feared by the deputies, your little kid asks about the fake bull testicles, then you can just mutter something and then say, excitedly, "Hey ... how about some ice cream and Venn diagrams!!?" The kid's attention will probably be immediately redirected. If not, then the kid will probably become a physician or biologist. It's a win-win situation. Problem solved!

These are supposed to be bull testicles right? Case dismissed.
