These 12 Fountains Look Pretty...Until You Realize Something Is Really Weird

Fountains are always nice to spend time around in any park. There's something about the sound of slowly trickling water that I find quite calming.
What's not tranquil at all is the fact that every fountain I see almost always features a little boy peeing. Why is this? When did we associate picnicking with a grade schooler taking out his pecker? Here are some of the most distracting fountains from around the world.

Someone give that baby a bag to puke in. Also, clothes.

I don't even know what's going on with this fountain. I don't think I'm on enough acid to understand what's going on here.

I dunno, maybe I'm just an old fashioned guy, but whatever happened to our fountains being fountain-shaped? Is that, like, not a thing anymore, or are we onto the whole "going to the bathroom" phase of art?
