Fat David
This statue ("Super-sized David Garden Sculpture by Design Toscano") is for sale on Amazon and is being made much of in several "weird things" blogs. As a public service, here it is minus all of the negative commentary it comes with in other blogs.

I think this is lovely. Although the fig leaf looks pretty ridiculous.

He looks so frowny! I feel like he'd be making disapproving comments on everything in his line of sight.

The original is not so happy with the world either...

I see thoughtful, not frowny. And the original is far too much of a gangly adolescent to be attractive. Lovely to look at, yes, but not appealing.

This one however ... wonder if Amazon UK has him.

Looks a bit more like Dionysus than David to me, but I like it!

Yeah but Dionysis wouldn't bother with the fig leaf :)

And he'd have a bottle or can in his hand. :D

I like this a lot, and I've thought about actually ordering it, but the accompanying catalog copy puts me off. I wrote to them that they were alienating the group that might buy it; no response. This spring is slated for lots of gardening time, though, so maybe, for a special gift for me....

Yep, that's why I didn't link to any place that discusses or offers the item. I hope they listen to you.
