Meh, if corporate bribery of politicians is free speech, I don't see how this shouldn't be. The government shouldn't be in the censorship business, even if these things are stupid as hell.

Personally i think the things are just fing retarded but its not an issue that requires a law. If i had to make a guess this is more about revenue then obsenity.

It's retarded......but, seriously...fining someone over what amounts to a plastic toy gag/gift? :\

Quite stupid to hang nuts from your truck, I mean they're tiny, hang some bowling balls. As much as I think they are stupid, I see no reason someone cant have them on their vehicle. If someone can wear a tshirt with such on it, a bumper expression should be no different.

I always see them on little trucks or ones trying to show off how badass they are. My truck is old and beat up and beautiful as hell, besides its a girl why does it need nuts. She has been to hell and back and still hangin tough, nothing else needs be added to her.

Here's my stance on it... just because you have free speech, doesn't mean that you need to wave your dick around in public. (or plastic balls, in this case)

And to clarify what this means: I am just as much for free speech as anyone else, but there are just some things you should keep to yourself, legal or not.
