[tab]Virginia Tice of Bonneau was given a $445 ticket for displaying big plastic testicles like these on the back of her pickup truck.[/tab][img]http://wcsc.images.worldnow.com/images/15154990_BG1.jpg[/img]
BONNEAU, S.C. (WCSC) - A Bonneau woman wanted to make a statement, so she decorated her truck with a set of red plastic testicles. And now a jury gets to decide if she was exercising free speech or being just obscene.
Virginia Tice was given a $445 ticket July 5 that accuses her of violating the state's obscene bumper sticker law.
And other than a hefty fine, the ticket is causing a huge controversy that extends far past the Bonneau city limits.
"To me it's just a personal expression," says John Caddell. "My truck's got power."
Caddell is another proud owner of the conversation starters. He says whether it's good or bad, his pair of chrome truck ornaments is driving a heated debate.
It's a bigger issue now because of Bonneau Chief of Police Franco Fuda ticketing Tice for what he says the law defines as obscene.
"Genitalia is offensive," says Chief Fuda. "As a law enforcement officer, I'll advise that person if it warrants a citation I'll issue a citation. As a father, I wouldn't want my daughter looking at it."
The South Carolina code of laws says "a sticker, decal or emblem is indecent when it describes, in a patently offensive way... sexual acts, excretory functions or parts of the human body."
Caddell says he must interpret the law differently than Police Chief Fuda.
"My interpretation is they're talking about human body parts," says Caddell. "I don't think these are human body parts... it looks like a chrome plated door knocker."
Tice's attorney, Scott Bischoff, expects a trial next month and says his client is still angry with the incident.
"My clients conduct was not illegal," says Bischoff. "We believe it was blown way out of proportion. She is still upset about the situation because she believes she's been treated unfairly."
Bischoff says there's no date set for Tice's jury trial, the attorney filed for a continuance they are confident will be accepted to bypass the original trial date of August 3.[/release]
In other news, it's been proven that the USA has the most prudish laws ever to be found in any other country in the world.
I hate seeing these on vehicles.

Why?
if genitalia is so offensive why don't we just cut all ours off/out at birth?
The government acts like a bunch of 10 year olds
i.e. "omg balls so gross i'm telling mommy on you"
They're obviously trying to get any money in they can to keep the US afloat.

Why?[/QUOTE]
Because there's few quicker ways to tell everyone that your car is being driven by a redneck.
This is retarded. The whole "offensive" thing. Don't get me wrong, I think that putting balls on your truck is stupid, too, but not in an important way, and you definitely should be able to.
Why, exactly, is genitalia offensive? We procreate by mashing them together, oh-nooooooo. The only reason it's offensive is because it's offensive. It's like being hating something because you're told to hate it and no one ever knows why they hate it int he first place. People think nudity and genitalia (and FSM forbid plastic testicles) are offensive, up until of course they're playing with theirs or having sex, then it's the best thing ever.
So honestly, I guess, it's "who gives a fuck"? Just let the woman keep her damn balls.

Oh come on, have some sense of humor...

Funny... your avatar (although it's the Norway flag) kinda looks like a star-less confederate flag :v:

Or that you're compensating for something personally.
Hahaha saw these yesterday on some guy's pick-up truck.
I think they're funny... I can't really find them offensive in any way.

Because they don't expect you to run around with your pants down showing your balls around like a retard.
It's crude humor to have this on your vehicle, but I don't see why she'd get a trial for this, overkill much
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31434083]Maybe he has, how would you know?[/QUOTE]The :v: means it's a joke.
If you find this offensive you need to stop living in the dark ages.
Nice pair of balls.
I don't see how it's offencive but at the same time i don't see how it's funny either.
