A lawmaker in Virginia plans to introduce a bill that would ban truck nuts. "It comes to a point where there are certain things you just can't do. And putting testicles on the back of a truck is just too much. So I am trying to stop it," Delegate Lionell Spruill told WTKR. He apparently reached his decision after a constituent's young daughter saw them on the back of a pickup truck. More »
