Koresh allegedly[8205291] fathered several[8205292] children with individuals[8205293] claiming[8205294] to be minors (these charges[8205295] were never substantiated[8205296]). When the FBI came, guns in hand[8205297] to arrest Koresh's[8205298] church[8205299], all members were fatally shot[8205300] because they had not been given an[8205301] enough of a chance to not shoot and kill[8205302] the officers who came before[8205303]

[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] Deletion debate
Articles for deletion This page was nominated for deletion on July 25, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.
[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. This entry is only explaining the Phenomenon, not your personal issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.33.38.228 (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

"De gustibus non est disputandum" Pustelnik (talk) 15:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

jrbeaman has his facts wrong! The truck ball industry was already running strong at least 30 years ago! I had a set of some things called "Truck Nuts" They were 10 inches tall and I had them hanging from the spare tire rim of my '79 Chevy 4x4! I'll upload scans of the photos as soon as I can find them! I would tend to stay away from sites that claim too much! And who really cares? (Ared32a (talk) 05:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC))
[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.

[edit] Re-build

I was planning on creating an article for Truck Nutz, but I will expand this article instead. I have compiled the following sources about TruckNutz, BlueBallz, and BikerBalls

First Step, sourcings.

Companies

[2] company website
[3] Another company?
[4] The original?
[5] BikerBallz, an offshoot

Controversies, will separate by state or incident?

FLA

[6] Aw Nutz!
[7] Florida kicks 'Truck-Nutz'
[8] Truck Nutz no More?
[9] Race for new state attorney just got more interesting
[10] Florida to ban fake testicles on vehicles

Edgefield, SC

[11] Male anatomy ornament causes controversy
[12] offensive car decor could get you ticketed

Virginia

[13] Virginia may outlaw bumper nuts
[14] Push to ban "Truck Nutz" on vehicles

2008 election

[15] Truck Nutz for all
[16] If Barack Obama wants to understand ... he should buy a pair of Truck Nutz

Legislation links?

[edit] How about Truck Butz?

As long as they're at it, I think someone should market a line of truck anuses. I would find it equally as fetching as these. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.105.77 (talk) 01:37, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Picture

Can someone please remove the picture of these offensive "joke" products? At least hide it under a bar or something. This image offends my personal beliefs, and I think it should not be shown on a public encyclopedia such as this.35.32.229.95 (talk) 17:45, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

That's laughable... You could just be happy that it's not more of a close-up shot. If you have issue with this photo illustrating the subject matter, perhaps you should post the same comment at Scrotum or Hirsuties coronae glandis.--Travis Thurston+ 20:19, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Gaymer
Main article: Gaymer

Gaymer, or Gay Gamer, is a term used to refer to the group of people who identify themselves as gay, bisexual, lesbian, or transgendered and have an active interest in the video game community (gamers).[22]

This demographic has been the subject of two large surveys: by Jason Rockwood in 2006,[23] who noted the level of prejudice that gaymers endure,[24] and by Paul Nowak in 2009, focusing in what contents gaymers expect in videogames.[25][26]
