"Japanese residents from a local town have called for naked replica sculptures to be given underpants. Replicas of the 16ft Michelangelo masterpieces of David and Greek treasure the Venus de Milo were erected last summer in Okuizumom Western Shimane prefecture.  [Michaelangelo&amp;#039;s David] They have been placed in a large public park that includes a full-size running track, a baseball stadium, tennis courts, a mountain bike course and a play area for children. Although many locals have welcomed the unnerving sculpture, some residents appeared worried the large statues would frighten toddlers. Town official Yoji Morinaga told AFP: &amp;quot;It is the first time we have had anything like this in our town. Perhaps people were perplexed. &amp;quot;They are statues of unclothed humans, and such pieces of art work are very rare in our area. Some people apparently said the statues might not be good for their children.&amp;quot; Morinaga said he thinks the town - which has less than 15,000 residents - will appreciate the statues&amp;#039; artistic value over time, adding that the sculptures may come in useful for school art classes.
