Talking Tempe Az man ordered to cut down penis tree

Story: HUH? 8-foot tree carved in shape of penis in Tempe backyard - Phoenix Arizona news, breaking news, local news, weather radar, traffic from ABC15 News | ABC15.com
Quote:
TEMPE, AZ -- In one Tempe neighborhood, people are talking about an awfully big 'carving' turning a lot of heads.

“That’s disgusting,” said one woman.

“I think it’s funny,” said another.

What they’re buzzing about is an 8-foot-tall penis carving that stands tall enough to be seen in the backyard of a home.

It wasn't erected, but instead carved out of a tree in the backyard of a home. Artistic expression? A fertility statue? The homeowner says no to both.

“Just ah kind of practical joke my friends played on me,” said homeowner Adam Starr.

The carving was once a pine tree that Starr needed cut down. He said he asked some friends to help him out, but a mix of alcohol and chainsaws created the above result.

“I came back and they left me a little surprise,” said Starr. “Yeah I came home and it was actually night and they had a light fixed on it shining."

He planned on cutting the tree down last weekend, but said his house got broken into and forced him to back away from that plan.

The city of Tempe has told him the stump must come down by Wednesday. Starr said it will come down even before that, by this weekend.

He said he's putting it up on eBay and plans to donate the proceeds to charity.

“If you have nerves enough, I’d like you to take a picture of it and put it on TV so everyone in the Valley can see it,” said a man across the street.

Chainsaws and beer?! Hopefully beer came after chainsaws. But epic lulz none the less, I wonder how much that thing will fetch on eBay.
