Parisians Destroy Artwork That Looks Like Sex Toy

Non, non, non! Parisian vandals destroy 24ft art sculpture that resembled a 'giant sex toy' after claims it 'humiliated' the city (and if you're wondering, it's supposed to be a tree) 

 

Vandals today destroyed an art sculpture in central Paris ‘because it looked like a giant sex toy’.


Looming above the city's Place Vendome, the 24ft tall piece, created by American artist Paul McCarthy, was meant to look like a green inflatable Christmas tree.

But the artwork, simple entitled 'Tree', raised eyebrows in the French capital because of its uncanny resemblance to a certain type of sex toy.

Decidedly odd and a bit creepy, if you ask me.  Could they be  the larval stage of those tall, Scandinavian looking  Aliens?

'a lively and lyrical biomorphic form, which will attract the public's attention because it is tactile and playful'.
