Tempe, AZ -- A dead tree is creating quite a stir in one neighborhood in Tempe these days. Neighbors say the carved woodwork went up in the backyard of a home in the 2000 block of E. Dunbar a few weeks ago.

"They carved it, all by themselves it looks like," said Susan Wood, who lives nearby.

"I'm a little bit speechless," said Wood. "A little bit funny but probably something that needs to be taken down."

"I'm thinking it looks a little phallic," said Tim Sunday who was driving by.

"It's 8 feet tall," said Aaron Freidman who walks his dog by the carved object daily, " It's a big tree that was carved into a male phallus."

The City of Tempe received at least one anonymous complaint about the carved tree last week. The owner was issued a violation notice for having a dead tree, said Jeff Tamulevich, code compliance administrator for the City of Tempe.

"The violation was served," said Tamulevich.

Neighbors say the tree was dead and unattractive, before it was carved up. The wood now peaks over the side of a cement wall in the owner's backyard where it is visible to people walking by.

The homeowner was not available for comment right away.

Emboldened emphasis mine.

Lol...this should be added to a list of ways to make annoying neighbors move.

All they need do is cut the tree down and erect it as a sculpture, then it will be protected by the First Amendment.

(See what I did there?)

They could probably sell it to the Japanese.

ROFL had to happen eventually

**Noble713**

Anyone watch the video? That "Susan Wood" woman, who looks like Anne Coulter IMO, seems to be exhibiting more than idle curiosity.

.

Good times. Good times.

**sebster**

Fellow I know has a penis carved into a tree in his front yard. Now that pissed off the neighbours.

You HAD to go there, didn't you?

**Girthman**

"Maybe its a bird" ROFLMAO!!! Stupid fat women these days.

**Monster Rain**

You know, if they trimmed away the shrubs at the bottom it would look bigger.

$20 says that if he had turned it into a pair of giant tits nobody would have complained.

**Kanluwen**

Nah. Then he'd have all the women in a heated frenzy.

**Norwulf**

Looks a little sunburnt might need some lotion.....

Well, someone has too much time on their hands...and a lot of talent.

Oh yeah, it would have been a much bigger deal than this. Feminists all over would be furious, they'd be protesting outside the house and demanding he be jailed or fined, lol.

And who said nothing grows in the shade!

Needs laquer though, he should ask someone to come and polish his end. It would only cost $5 and he would really feel the benefit.

I don't think laquer is such a good idea. Imagine the fire hazard. One errant spark and people will think the man is a member of a Gay Splinter-Group of the Ku Klux Klan.

**Kilkrazy**

It needs protection from the elements. Some kind of hat, or helmet, would be a good idea.
