There's a pile of scrap timber, rubble and general turds in the road opposite my work with a hand-written sign reading "Free Shed". Tell us about random, completely hatstand stuff and people you've seen

I would appreciate it if someone could explain this to me. (Here is another view.) (NSFW for a naked male statue.)
I think I would title this "Ode To Parenthood".

I guessed it might be that before I clicked. I think the statues look pretty cool -- people tend to mention the angry baby but I find the one you linked to more amusing. The monolith is way cool and very impressive.
Edit: As for what it means I think you may have it spot on. Have you been to the park yourself? I ask because the sculptures, to me at least, fit together well and create a cool park. I've seen this sculpture mentioned on a "fail" site also and wonder why such a whimsical thing can stir up so much emotion.

I saw this on the Cracked article referenced below and was greatly amused by it. There have been many times I've felt just like that.

I think they are supposed to represent the journey of life and, as I said, the monolith is awe inspiring, well it was to me at least.

Why the fuss? I'll admit I'm not artistic enough to see much beyond a whimsical sculpture and a possible comment on parenthood but it's not that odd is it?

I can't quite make it out, but how is he holding the babies up near his right hand? Looks suspect, as for beating them up, what would be a reasonable amount of kiddies to make this a fair fight? I don't think 4 is enough...

Then the fight would take on whole new levels of awesomeness.

It's a friggin' statue. It's art. What workplace would get miffed with that?
You're looking at David!?! Filth! Pervert! Get out!
Anyway, it's already in a sodding park.

The rule is that if it looks even vaguely pornographic to a passerby, you warn people. I agree that it's pretty tame, but just in case anyone works for a clenchbutt...

Three nymph-like creatures falling from the sky, buck-naked and halfway between blissful release and terror of impending splat-death. They're also all about head height so every time you walk past it feels like you're about to get brained by an apocalyptic downpour of bronze flange.
