Another added: "But the sculpture is totally a giant willy and was badly thought out. We are at beaumont park a lot and i couldnt quite believe it first time we saw it."
The 20ft sculpture has grown in popularity since Metro covered the story on June 13 and was even featured on Greg James' Radio 1 breakfast show.
"There is a news story around today that is so up my street, I had to check that I hadn't actually written the story myself and forgotten about it," he said. "I agree with the article, I have no idea why anyone would have a problem with it at all."
"Now, please, hold it together, I hope no one is laughing at home," he added.
The DJ and presenter even sent someone to the scene for what he called "private investigations." Ecologist Larissa described the phallus as an "elongated minion", and described the art as featuring "leaves and vines on it, and it's got some local UK wildlife carved into it, which is quite nice.
"It's a nice piece of art really, that someone's maybe got too invested in – they've worked really closely on it and stepped back at the end and gone, 'Ahh, yes, it looks like a penis'," James added.
