Truck nuts swing onto US freedom of speech agenda

NSFW The lower portions of the US are distracting themselves from the Washington debt-ceiling car crash by asking whether the use of "truck nuts" constitutes obscenity or is a question of free expression.

The constitutional freedom issue has swung into the national consciousness after a South Carolina woman was ticketed for hanging a brace of the gargantuan plastic testicles from the backup of her pickup truck.

...

The case could be heard next month, assuming the US is still able to afford a legal system by then.

1. That must be an interesting subculture...I know a woman who has the same thing on her SUV

Never felt comfortable asking her what the significance was but I think it has something to do with her ex husband.

5. Tasteless, but absolutely, positively free speech.

Just like the Stars and Bars.

6. I support their expression.

It makes them easier to identify if they are flying the stupid flag.
