        <title>But...but...but, where else would I hang my fake bull testicles? - Talk of the Town - talkofthetown&apos;s Blog - Bakersfield.com</title>

        <description>Government! What&#039;s with those guys?

Seems that some Maryland polititian wants to ban fake bull testicles and other anatomically explicit decorations from vehicles.

The measure was filed in the General Assembly&amp;nbsp; by Delegate LeRoy E. Myers Jr., who says children shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be exposed to giant plastic gonads dangling from pickup truck trailer hitches, Associated Press reported.

In a sneaky attempt to get women on his side, the bill&amp;nbsp; would ban displaying images of naked human breasts, buttocks or genitals, with offenses punishable by fines of up to $500.

Where is the voice of reason in all of this?

The American Civil Liberties Union objected to Myers&amp;rsquo; bill.

&amp;ldquo;The legislation is overly broad, and would probably make it illegal to have a sticker on your car of the Venus de Milo from an art museum,&amp;rdquo; ACLU of Maryland spokeswoman Meredith Curtis wrote in an e-mail.

First body parts. Next Bobble-heads. Where is this all going to end?
