i've always suspected that the people i've seen driving around with those on the backs of their cars (color coordinated with the paint job, no less) don't vote regularly...
Anyone who has ever bought one of these is a moron.
Anyone who voted for Bush is a moron.
Therefore, anyone who has ever bought one of these is a Bush voter.
I believe all three statements (although I think that voting for Bush the first time could be delusional rather than moronic), but I'm not sure the syllogism works.
I think what ogged is saying is that "liberals have no sense of humor". Right?
No?
Well, if inner city kids put these on pimped out cars (low riders? ouch!) I think that the family values crowd would tut-tut. But put it on a pickup truck and it's just good clean redneck fun. Boys will be boys.
Personally, I find it no less offensive than those baby on board signs.
I find these vaguely amusing, in the same why I find a biker's t-shirt that says "If you can read this, the bitch fell off" shirts vaguely amusing, in that I can appreciate a certain je ne se quois in the display of such an item, but I'd like to note that the ones on the right with the veins really are a bit much.

Looks like your logic must be:
Anyone who has ever bought one of these is a moron.
Anyone who voted for Bush is a moron.
Therefore, anyone who has ever bought one of these is a Bush voter.

I bet they have deer scrotum shift covers, too.
DaveL, I think it has more to do with imbecillic machismo than plain stupidity.

... er, no more offensive ... that's what I meant.
Anyway, I've always sort of liked the sticker with Calvin peeing. What does such a sticker say about the driver's politics?
Posted by JSM | Link to this comment | 06-27-05 7:06 PM
Or kangaroo scrotum gear shift covers.

JSM, it depends on what Calvin's peeing on.

they look a little small in relation to the body from which they depend.

DE,
ooh, exotic!
JSM,
I think you should appreciate the difference between not recognizing something as humor and recognizing different senses of humor.

So is that a pouch where you keep your kangaroo scrotum or one made from a kangaroo scrotum? Or both?
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 06-27-05 8:41 PM
Or both?
If you keep one kangaroo scrotum inside another, would you keep a third inside that one? It seems like it could go on for a while, like Russian dolls.

Eventually you would reach the kangaroo scrotum singularity.

Via DE's link, I arrived here, the scrotum shop. The bottom ones are, apparantly, priceless.
As for what you keep in them, they're preternaturally perfect bags for marbles.

Those priceless ones at the bottom? Honorés des ball-sacks.

Your allusions are lost on me.

Obviously they're made for red-staters because they're red. A blue version would be ill-advised for obvious reasons.

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but are those balls functional in any way, or are they purely decorative?
Posted by FL | Link to this comment | 06-28-05 7:44 AM
You cannot comprehend their awesome power. You think you could control them, but no! Your will would bend to that of the omega-nuts.
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 06-28-05 8:41 AM
21, is that a pick-up line?
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 06-28-05 8:51 AM
It is now!
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 06-28-05 8:53 AM
Hey, actually they have blue and lots of other colors.
