Who knows? Maybe because it's funny because its taboo.
Lots of young boys are giggling and holding their nutsacks right now.
Big deal, I don't really care why authors choose the words they do, that seems like a ridiculous standard to me.
I guess if you're so inclined, you could write a story about being bitten on the kneecap. This author chose a ballbag. Next week, someone will get hit on the tit by a volleyball...who knows.

How do you get that I thought it was wrong from my second response? I just said the author could have changed a few things to avoid obvious drama.
Here is how I think. There are two people sitting on a plane. One person thinks the word crap is ok to say in public, the other one doesn't. Really, the word crap isn't anything to get worked up over, but you should still respect that other person and not say it. Will you die if you don't say crap? Unless you will, you probably should just not say it. It is a question of respect, nothing else.
