If there's one talent Kim Kardashian has, it's how to get attention, and this week she took it to a whole new level.

A sixty-foot blow-up doll of her underwear-clad likeness has appeared in Times Square as a promotion for her SKIMS clothing brand.

The display, smack-dab in the middle of Manhattan, has certainly caught plenty of eyes, both on the streets of New York and the internet.

Kardashian herself shared her excitement on Instagram, posting a photo to her Story with the caption:

"OMG... I cannot believe there is a 60 foot float of me in SKIMS Swim in the middle of Times Square."

The display is meant to promote SKIMS' upcoming summer swimwear line, and features Kardashian's buxom likeness in a blue bikini-style set.

But that new line has mostly been eclipsed by the uproar over the blow-up doll, which has definitely drawn mixed reactions.

Plenty of people online were loving the display, of course—the Kardashians are certainly not without their fans. But they seemed to be mostly outweighed by those who found the inflatable to be a bit much.

A lot of people felt the blow-up doll was downright offensive. One person wrote:

"I just walked past this on my way home and it was disturbing and unnecessary. Especially considering how many children walk through Times Square each day."

Others called it "creepy," "weird," or scolded New York City authorities for allowing it. And many felt it was inappropriate for the eyes of children passing by.

Anyway, those upset about the blow-up doll can take heart—it seems to have been short-lived.

According to a video circulating on X, it has already been deflated.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
