<p><strong>Naked Trump statue: </strong>A huge Donald Trump effigy, fully naked, popped up alongside the Las Vegas Strip highway over the weekend, before disappearing as mysteriously as it made its debut, according to reports and social media posts.</p>

<p>The all-white supposed art installation, hanging 43-feet tall, caught the attention of several onlookers, shining briefly in all its naked glory not too far away from the Republican presidential candidate's real estate properties in the western US state of Nevada.</p>

<p>The effigy was hung on a construction crane, New York Post said in a report.</p>

<p>The massive structure popped up nearly 28 miles away from the Trump International Hotel in the Sin City.</p>

<p>It was positioned near a highway that connects Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, but a bit away from the main traffic choke points, probably as it was lewd, according to New York Post.</p>

<p>The report said that it was not the only effigy of Trump to appear in recent times. Similar ones are popping up in New York’s Union Square to Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle and San Francisco.</p>

<p>It said it was not clear if these are part of a single art project or unrelated.</p>

<p>Some Trump supporters appeared outraged at the abomination, particularly as it was erected ahead of a rally by his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in Las Vegas.<br />

Las Vegas: Watery graves starting to cough up Sin City's darkest secrets

<p><em><b>100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See</b></em>&nbsp;is a film that, as the name says, you will not be able to see in your lifetime. The movie, which is inspired by the 100 years it takes for a bottle of Louis XIII to get ready, is scheduled to be released in the year 2115.</p>
