A New Jersey Easter display has sparked controversy over its scantily clad mannequins in bunny ears, fishnet stockings and lingerie.

The show of five dolls, dressed as Playboy bunnies, has been labelled as 'disgusting' by some neighbors with even the city's mayor, James Anzaldi, calling it 'visual nastiness'.

But others say they 'love it' and find it entertaining.

The unconventional front yard display in Clifton was first set up by dentist Wayne Gangi in front of his Grove Street dental office as part of a Valentine's Day display, northjersey.com reports.

Dr Gangi is already well known in the local area for his outlandish decorations.

The mannequins were then changed into St. Patrick's Day themed outfits before wigs, bunny ears and corsets were added as part of the Easter theme.

Councilman William Gibson said Wayne Gangi 'definitely knows he's walking the edge' and said it is 'in poor taste'.

One local told told the Daily Voice: 'How do scantily clad dolls, dressed to look like Playboy bunnies relate to Easter? 'I get the joke, I am not a prude, but in today's climate, so not appropriate.'
