This is about as randomly odd as a statue can get.
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".

Ah Vigelandsparken...
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.

Because some people are too thick and bitter to breathe in and out without getting angry at their own mouths.

Nope, never been there.
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 didn't realise this week's question was "post shit you've found on the internet that isn't even interesting enough for /links"
You live and learn.

to be fair
if this was posted on links you'd be crucified for roasting peas.

The whole park is filled with sculptures like it.
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.

See my edit:
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...

Especially if he ties two of them together at the ankle to make a pair of babychuks.
Then the fight would take on whole new levels of awesomeness.

Eh? NSFW?
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.

I was thinking similarly.

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...

It really isn't.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 8:10, closed)

I would title this
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off!!!

Or maybe

Get it off, get off, get it off!!!

Reminds me of a statue in the metro over here.
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.
