A Christmas tree that was spruced up with 100 red vibrators and sex toys has been banned by officials in Milan saying that it was "too naughty".
According to an official order, the festive season is a holiday for children and families, and therefore requires sobriety in urban decorations while using traditional symbols that distinguish Christmas, the Daily Star reported.
Norma Rossetti, who had launched an Italian sex toy e-commerce website this year, immediately complied with the order, but defended her "Tree of Pleasure" saying that the objects she chose were elegant and not obviously X-rated.
She added that her goal is to break down taboos by making sex toys completely normal everyday objects.
