    Plastic ones on cars that is. Turns out people are taking offense to swinging novelty plastic..well, "ballz" on trailer hitches across the state. I've seen one or two on vehicles around here. I thought it warranted a little chuckle. Granted one set I saw was a bit..... realistic let's say. I just shrugged it off as silly and a bit crass, but whatever. I don't know, though if I had to see them every day and I had kids it might be me in court about it.

    It is tacky, but you would think the government has more serious things to deal with than some rubber balls.

    I predict sales of these "accessories" will triple, and the gov't flunky who proposed the ban will get a nice campaign donation.

    I saw a set the other day and wondered how stupid you have to be to hang something like that off your hitch. Kind of rates up there with the giant fuzzy dice and CD's and Mardi Grais beads hanging off of the rear view mirror.

    Between rubber balls, baseball steroids and all the other BS these people waste tax money arguing about ... you would think the USA was a Utopia with no other problems to worry about ..
