» 60 Failures in Communication

  1. yahriel says:

    what the FUCK? How the hell did that happen? o_O

    • faisal Chris Joyce says:

      This is a house near Oxford in UK. It’s an old pic. The house was well known and the street got a lot of tourist traffic. His neighbours wanted it down. I guy with a sense of humor.

  2. Ethan Hunt says:

    An airplane probly droped it, I’ts kind of pathetic u couldn’t figure that out urself.

  3. Ethan Hunt says:

    Or Helecopter.

  4. DUHHH says:

    Actually what’s pathetic is your inability to follow steph’s link to find out that it is a deliberate work of art. FAIL.

  5. Stephanie says:

    Please would you use your own picture of the shark?

    It seems very mean to steal mine and take the credit. All my webpages have a copyright notice.

  6. Alcari says:

    Stephanie, how the heck is the site owner supposed (leechio) to know where a picture came from.

    Also, Legal FAIL, copyright notices are superceded by Fair Use.

  7. Stephanie says:

    It’s not the site owner’s fault, but the person who posted it must have knowingly taken it off my site.

    I don’t mind people using my photographs, but I don’t like them adding their own text and passing them off as their own: surely that isn’t fair use?

    But never mind, I am getting a lot of hits from you.

    • L. B. says:

      Stephanie, what if the person who posted it got it from a web page who got it from another web page – who after a few more iteration – got it from your page? While I am not a lawyer, what I understand of copyright law could actually be considered fair use, seeing as it 1: does not injure the commercial value of your work and 2: is posted for the purposes of commentary. Please consult a copyright lawyer before making accusations.

  8. Hunter says:

    Sounds to me like an art-win.

  9. Anonymous says:

    this pic was on lolcats so I never stole it, someone else did :p

  10. Anonymous says:

    and have you seen how many sites it’s on when you google search it?

  11. Tim says:

    This is real, it’s in my home town of Oxford, UK. Some guy did it in the 80s as a protest against nuclear war (there was a US airbase nearby). It’s still there now and is a local landmark/curiosity. He also owned a cinema with a giant pair of legs sticking out the front but that was taken down as he didn’t have planning permision.

    So there.

  12. VC= says:

    I can back up Tim’s story. Also from Oxford. It is in Headington and provides many a smile
    :)

  13. negative says:

    I swear there was a flower pot around here somewhere.

  14. Ste says:

    Its Oxford, wasent he also a radio DJ?

  15. Cory says:

    Yeah, I saw this in the neighborhoods coming into Oxford on a bus from London a few years back…interesting to hear the protest backstory of it though

  16. jennypen says:

    Yup, it’s classic. The Shark is wicked, and what’s awesome is the house across the road is called Shark’s View!

  17. C0nt1nu1ty says:

    The guy who owns it is Bill Heine, who is a local radio DJ and went to Uni with Bill Clinton, I used to go to school with his son Magnus

  18. Jason Nark says:

    Sharks are killers. Lucky this one is dead.

  19. Meira says:

    My friend used to live in the house almost opposite to the shark. Her neighbour made badges that said “I saw the Shark” with a little picture. It’s an amazing thing to wake up to, as I learnt when I stayed in a bedroom facing it.

  20. Anonymous says:

    UH?
    ;-)

  21. Brenna says:

    The guy who owns, or used to own this house is or was a DJ on Thames Valley FM. He’s American but fakes an English accent. He’s a real creep. Trust me. That house is way too cool for him.

  22. Strongsad says:

    Sharkapult success!

  23. vaughan says:

    this is in oxford (england)

  24. Anonymous says:

    You’r doin it rong!

  25. Sarge says:

    nom nom nom nom nom….. wait your not a seal!

  26. Karl says:

    Yes, this is in Oxford. It was erected when I was a student there in the 80s.

  27. ppg says:

  29. buster says:

    “We’re gonna need a bigger SHARK”

  30. doofmagger33999 says:

  31. That funny guy over there in the corner says:

    The loan shark strikes again

  32. Liv says:

    I live near here! ^-^ I can’t believe people think this was an accident… A shark through someone’s roof. lol.

  33. Minion says:

    ok that definately isnt photoshoped, how the hell did that get there!

  34. Selsa Squirrel says:

    OMIGOSH! Is soo photoshoped, an badly to!!1!!1 They suxorz. FAIL!!1!

    (How was my troll impression? ^.^ It`s a really neat house design though. If I had the cash I`d wanna do something neat just for kicks, too.)

  35. AHHH says:

    THE RETURN OF JAWS

  36. me says:

    seaworld feeds it’s sharks steroids… then they jump through hoops…

    only logical explination (other then the clear fact it was built!)

  37. Mr D says:

    Mickey mouse isn’t on the roof anymore…

  38. anonymus says:

    guess sharks don’t like to let go of prey or maybe they evolved to land!!!! aaaaah!!!! run! land sharks are invading!!!

  39. sultant says:

    The first guy who posted the comment is obviously a complete idiot. He actually asked how it happened. lol.

  40. Sierradrinker says:

    Land shark win!

  41. Darius says:

    haha i love this house.
    the guy put it there i think because he was pissed off with the council.
    think my mum knows the guy actually.

  42. kat says:
