Sorry I didn't get any photos, but I've been seeeing cars here with balls!!! a couple of them from hitches, but the other day I swear , a Prius with them!!!! GUYS- I just don't get it! In fact I think it's kinda gross so I 'm hoping somebody can explain the reason they think it is attractive or desirable!
These what you're talking about, Barb? The nearest I can figure is they're a way for insecure men to prove that they're "manly". See, if a guy has a huge plastic scrotum hanging off his bumper, then he must be a macho man.
Even worse, I also ride motorcycles and at a Blessing of the Bikes one year I saw a Harley that had Chrome ones. It was ridiculous.
what has come of society? The TV news is nothing more than a broadcast version of the National Enquirer, and people don't hesitate to drive around in public with something like this on their cars. Have you at long last no sense of decency, people?
Ha ha! I thought that was just a Texas thing. It's so nice to see I'm not the only one surrounded by <insert your personal favorite term here>!!!
[Way off topic but I couldn't resist commenting on patrick's "Who are you calling irrational?" avatar. That is hilarious. I always get a kick out of humor that a good portion of the population will not understand.

Nothing like an appendage that looks as if it was transplanted from a wrinkled elephant (or is that redundant)?

Hahahahahaha. Think about it....if there IS no sense of morality.........then ANYTHING goes. By what standard are you saying this is indecent? If there is no good, then nothing is bad. These hanging "things" are pretty minor in the scheme of things. Our culture is a "shock" culture after all.
It really is disgusting. Maybe it's just another sign of these men trying to overcome their...hmmm...shortcomings? You know, how a car/truck/stereo/gun/computer is a phallic symbol that when obsessed over by men is supposed to be an indication they're trying to make up for their really tiny...hmmm...issues. These guys are just advertising it.
Guess I'll be the outlier here...I think it it's kinda funny...esp. when they first started doing it. Here in cattle country it's just sorta a cowboy thing.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(adam1991 @ Apr 6 2007, 06:59 AM) [snapback]418713[/snapback]</div> It just confirms a number of thoughts of mine: <blockquote>- A lot of people are driving full throttle on the road to "prove" their toughness or manhood. This is a disorder that makes them so irrational that they won't stop even if it means taking out a second mortgage. - As Schmika said, societal morales really don't exists any more, nor does common courtsey. It's everyone do what they ****ing please. This is progress? :blink:</blockquote>
imagine the outcry if they started to include the um, other part of that particular piece of machinery... :blink: :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(livelychick @ Apr 6 2007, 10:44 AM) [snapback]418753[/snapback]</div> It is disgusting, but it fits right in to how the Big Three market their vehicles. Keep in mind that most SUV's and monster trucks are sold under the "testosterone replacement" school of marketing. I ride a BMW motorcycle, but you have to admit that much of the Harley craze is that same "testosterone replacement" thing at work. We've seen this at work with the Prius: "I'm not giving up my manhood to drive a Prius." Sad, innit? Like they say, there is an inverse relationship between the size of the vehicle and the size of the driver's ____. Harry
In my younger car days, when any car "had balls", it was meant that it had a lot of power. Another was to be "going balls out", which was pushing the car to the limits, i.e. WOT on a straightaway portion of a race track, the driver was going balls out to pass on the right. Now they're taking that to a new level. I've seen them out here on trucks hanging off hitches, below the spare tire, etc. I'm rarely, if ever, impressed.
