Santas Butt Plug
PARIS — Vandals attacked a giant green inflatable sculpture in one of the most famous squares in Paris on Saturday after its resemblance to a sex toy sparked an outcry. The over 80-foot-high canvas artwork by U.S. artist Paul McCarthy was unveiled on Thursday in Place Vendome, famous for its luxury jewelry stores and the Ritz Hotel. "An unidentified group of people cut the cables which were holding the artwork, which caused it to collapse," police told Reuters. "The person responsible for the piece then decided to deflate it to avoid it being more seriously damaged." The deflated sculpture was removed from the square on Saturday afternoon. McCarthy told French newspaper Le Monde that his work "Tree" was inspired both by a sex toy called a butt plug and a Christmas tree. It was part of the International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC) taking place Paris on Oct. 23-26.  |

Re: Santas Butt Plug
The people told the 'artist' to..."Take your giant Butt Plug and shove it!".

Re: Santas Butt Plug
I guess it represents the French ego, and well, if if the shoe fits the foot. Maybe the Pope will visit soon?

Re: Santas Butt Plug
I don't blame people for being mad. This so called "artist" is nothing more than a pervert.

Re: Santas Butt Plug
I thought it was just going to be that the artist accidentally made it look like a butt plug because he didn't know about them and it was just a coincidence... but it sounds like his aim was to make a Christmas tree shaped like a giant butt plug! What the fuck was he thinking???
