The campaign was initiated on December 15, 2006 with aims to expose what it views as the harms inflicted on computer users by Microsoft Windows Vista and its embedded digital rights management, as well as providing a user-friendly gateway to free software alternatives.[2][3]

BadVista activists teamed up with Defective by Design members on a Vista launch party on January 30, 2007 at the Times Square. Protesters in hazmat suits held their signs explaining the restrictions Vista may impose on computer users.[3][4][5][6] The campaign ended on January 8, 2009, when "victory" was declared after Microsoft released its Windows 7 Beta.[7] This victory claim was based on the tepid adoption of Vista, compared to those sticking with the less-DRM infused Windows XP or moving to the FSF-defined less restrictive Mac OS X or entirely free GNU/Linux or FreeBSD.

from the references section on jimmy wales

"Even Wales has been caught airbrushing his Wikipedia entry�eighteen times in the past year. He is particularly sensitive about references to the porn traffic on his Web portal. 'Adult content' or 'glamour photography' are the terms that he prefers, though, as one user pointed out on the site, they are perhaps not the most precise way to describe lesbian strip-poker threesomes. (In January, Wales agreed to a compromise: 'erotic photography')."

EMILY BLUNTS: Jan 1, 2005

The magazine has been involved in various legal actions over the decades, some of which have reached the United States Supreme Court. The most far-reaching was Irving Berlin et al. v. E.C. Publications, Inc. In 1961, a group of music publishers representing songwriters such as Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers and Cole Porter filed a $25 million lawsuit against Mad for copyright infringement following "Sing Along With Mad," a collection of parody lyrics which the magazine said could be "sung to the tune of" many popular songs. The publishing group hoped to establish a legal precedent that only a song's composers retained the right to parody that song. The U.S. District Court ruled largely in favor of Mad in 1963, affirming its right to print 23 of the 25 song parodies under dispute. Circuit Court Judge Charles Metzner pointedly observed, "We doubt that even so eminent a composer as plaintiff Irving Berlin should be permitted to claim a property interest in iambic pentameter."[30] However, an exception was found in the cases of two parodies, "Always" (sung to the tune of "Always") and "There's No Business Like No Business" (sung to the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business"). Relying on the same verbal hooks ("always" and "business"), these were found to be overly similar to the originals. The music publishers appealed the ruling, but the U.S. Court of Appeals not only upheld the pro-Mad decision in regard to the 23 songs, it stripped the publishers of their limited victory regarding the remaining two songs. The publishers again appealed, but the Supreme Court refused to hear it, thus allowing the decision to stand.[31][32]

[edit] Custom Reproduction

"Custom reproduction attempts are ill-advised and generally do not result in an aesthetically pleasing set of truck nuts."

Why is this line here? It sounds like its straight out of a line from a advertising book. I don't think it's necessary and I have removed it. It would be very easy to create something similar. 173.33.130.147 (talk) 16:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] General discussion

I've seen these before, and I think they're notable enough to have an article. It should be an article, though, and not an advertisement. In particular, it needs to be neutral, factual, and should not link to any commercial websites that are selling these hideous, ridiculous things. Otherwise, it is likely to get deleted. dbtfztalk 06:03, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Hideous and ridiculous may be one persons opinion, others have called them everything from 'cute' to 'funny' and other positive labels. Of course, some are revolted, and others find fun in that. In any case, it is really a fashion statement for those that drive trucks, and an extension of their statement of why they drive a truck. Like many accessories these are just for show and provide no functional purpose. --Jrbeaman 02:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

The descriptions of manufacturing and suggested mountings are from one specific copyrighted web page, without permission. Without permission, the quotations should reference that web site. They are also known as trucknuts, bumpernuts, and are all copies from the original website, and should be recognized as such. --Jrbeaman 02:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I find your claim highly dubious. Can you please provide URLs of such copyright infringement? --NMChico24 08:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I have tried to, numerous times, but all my posts get deleted. Every attempt to assign quotations with reference to the source is deleted as a commercial instead of giving credit to the inventor. Like talking about the light bulb without mentioning Edison.

http://www.bullsballs.com is the inventor/originator of the product in 1998 and descriptions and suggested mountings are directly from his web pages. He understands the knock-offs and is sorry he didn't finish the patent on the product. He tried, but the patent atty screwed up the process, and he just dropped it even though it would have been granted. Since then, there are two companies (multiple web sites all under these two) that sell an inferior copy and gain internet anchorage by bastardizing the spelling. Check it out, and do a search for "truck balls" on google.

You will only find one web site that fits the article. The quotation is slightly different (barely) because of minor updates, but the text has been there on his web pages since 1999. Also note that none of the other retailers of the internet sold products match the articles information, as they are mostly cheap copies.

This is a wide-spread phenominon(sp?), as pictured on lorries, tanks in Iraq, and big-rigs in Australia.

Someone has a very slanted opinion (see above) and was the one? that kept deleting my references to the author of the quoted material because it was "commercial". The two paragraphs below his are mine in an attempt to balance his personal opinion and threat, but he keeps editing them.

Thanks for asking - --Jrbeaman 02:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC) (webmaster only, for bullsballs.com)

I have no vested interest except accuracy and web correctness.

What the gently caress is "web correctness"? This "article" sums up wikipedia quite succinctly. Useless.

^- Exactly
[edit] What?

Why no mention of the fact that these guys are obviously compensating for something? I mean, as if buying a giant truck wasn't enough, they had to attach genitals to the back of it. And I'm being serious: Isn't there some psychological aspect to a man wanting to display a giant scrotum on the back of his truck for the world to see? --Buddy13 (talk) 01:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, like for example that he has a sense of humor and finds testicles to be hilarious. Y'know, like a normal person. �Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 19:57, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
You may be correct Buddy13. Find a verifiable reference from a reliable source making this claim and perhaps we can add it. -Verdatum (talk) 20:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Buddy13: Your opinion of 'useless' is uninformed. It a multi-million dollar a year industry which proves there are many people that like the product. This is not 'obvious compensation;, it is a statement. What is quite telling, is your obvious offense to the 'accessory'.

Okay, so a year after my first comment, I'm back! I also added a separator below, as those people seem to be responding to a previous conversation. The first response to me isn't even serious. Not every "normal" person finds testicles hilarious. In fact, I don't think that's their purpose. I don't think the evolutionary process created the most amusing shape possible so that, while a potential mate is paralyzed by laughter, one may mate with her. I was making a serious comment/question. To expose your testicles is usually taboo, so this is some sort of vicarious exposure, yes? As for this other weirdo, I never used the word "useless" so your quotes are odd. And just because something is a multi-million dollar industry doesn't make it useful. It means people buy them. People also buy purple bobble-headed rabbits. That means they bought them, it doesn't mean they're useful. And what "statement" could you possibly be making with Truck Nutz? That you have a giant scrotum? That you have metaphorical "balls"? That you're manly? Very confusing statement. Would you also wear a T-Shirt that says "I have gigantic balls!"? My offense to the accessory is mild, though I wonder what a parent tells their children when asked about why a truck has nutz. My original comment was exactly as it appeared: A question as to the psychological aspect of the desire to mount large synthetic testicles to the rear of one's vehicle. That is all. --Buddy13 (talk) 22:40, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Don't know, don't care. All I know I was driving down the street on day and I saw something dangling from a truck hitch, and was like "What the gently caress is that?", then "Is that what I think it is?", then "Sweet Jesus, those are nuts hanging from that truck"!!! I gotta figure out what the heck those are, so I googled and found out. Now we have a wikipedia page to inform others who are as curious about the world as me!

The reference to web correctness could be anything from spelling, grammar, language, html format, or other web site display issues. You seem to have an issue of being offended, and wish to control others freedom of expression to comply with your personal bias. This is not the place for that.

[edit] Truck nuts for ridicule

See:

Feedback for "Rebuild the Party: A Plan for the Future". 2008-11-12. URL:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/. Accessed: 2008-11-12. (Archived by WebCite� at https://www.webcitation.org/5cGg9Cxrh)

"Rebuild the Republican Party" was subsequently laundered to delete the proposal that was by far the most popular: Give all Red Blooded Americans a pair of truck nuts for their F150's! I'd read about it in "American People Give Republican Party Major Responsibility: big $ale on truck nutz" (Wonkette). It's interesting that "truck nutz" are used to ridicule. Further, the caption to this Flickr photo: "Operation: Truck Nuts - Successful" suggests to me that people are adding nuts to others' trucks to ridicule them or their owners (rather like giving the finger to Hummers). All mere "original synthesis" so far, which is why I wouldn't add it to the article -- but it might be worth keeping an eye out for "reliable sources" on the notion of ascribing nuts to others or that of attaching them to others' vehicles.
