Inflatable Tree or...? What do you think it is?

McCarthy, who is no stranger to controversy, designed the piece specifically for the “Fiac” festival.
Shield your eyes, art aficionados. A giant inflatable sculpture was erected in Place Vendôme in Paris, France, and ever since, it has been making waves for locals and tourists alike. The reason may be fairly obvious: The sculpture, called "Tree," looks suspiciously like something else.
Paul McCarthy's piece of art, which measures roughly 80 feet tall, was installed as part of a contemporary art fair. Despite McCarthy's insistence that his work is simply meant to resemble a Christmas tree, people can't keep their minds out of the gutter. www.btladv.com
