Up-skirt Marilyn Monroe statue: Art or trash?

A bride and her bridesmaids look at "Forever Marilyn," a controversial, giant sculpture by Seward Johnson, on July 15, 2011 in Chicago. It depicts the late Hollywood icon in her classic pose from "The Seven Year Itch," but is so large people can look up and see her underwear -- which has people talking, pro and con.

"It's tasteful enough. It's not tacky in the least," a spectator told "The Early Show." "It's gaudy and garish and, personally, I don't like it. It's just too much," added another.
