Giant sex toy or Christmas tree? Paris baffled and outraged (VIDEO)

A giant green Christmas tree designed by a US artist was erected in a Paris square, but city residents say the artwork resembles a sex toy. Some outraged people even attempted to deflate the sculpture.

The 24-meter-tall sculpture by American artist Paul McCarthy, was erected in the Place Vendome in the center of Paris. 

According to McCarthy, the “Tree” installed for the International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC) scheduled October 23 to the 26 in Paris, is “an abstract work.” 

“It all started with a joke. Originally, I thought that a butt plug had a shape similar to the sculptures of [Romanian artist] Constantin Brâncusi. Afterwards, I realized that it looked like a Christmas tree,” he toldFrench Le Monde. “People can be offended if they want to think of it as a plug, but for me it is more of an abstraction.”
