Thanks
this fail is like so totally a fail.
An airplane probly droped it, I’ts kind of pathetic u couldn’t figure that out urself.
fail to learn the truth about a SCULPUTRE
Sorry sweetie, but: typing fail! xx
Also, I LIVE NEAR THIS! I heard they might take it down soon, so APPRECIATE THE ART, PEOPLE!
High on coffee, going now…
that shark was hungry get off its back! geez
Grammar Fail
Fail. It’s a sculpture.
“probly?”
spelling mistakes cont’d… droped, I’ts, u, urself.
My, my. What has the world come to?
its a sculpture.
You’re a douche. Why the f would a plane carry a shark sculpture, let alone drop it on a house? Is it really that obvious?
Or Helecopter.
Actually what’s pathetic is your inability to follow steph’s link to find out that it is a deliberate work of art. FAIL.
yes, utter fail
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.
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Also, Legal FAIL, copyright notices are superceded by Fair Use.
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.
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.
Sounds to me like an art-win.
this pic was on lolcats so I never stole it, someone else did :p
and have you seen how many sites it’s on when you google search it?
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.
I can back up Tim’s story. Also from Oxford. It is in Headington and provides many a smile
I swear there was a flower pot around here somewhere.
Its Oxford, wasent he also a radio DJ?
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
Yup, it’s classic. The Shark is wicked, and what’s awesome is the house across the road is called Shark’s View!
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
Sharks are killers. Lucky this one is dead.
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.
UH?
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.
Sharkapult success!
LOL
this is in oxford (england)
You’r doin it rong!
nom nom nom nom nom….. wait your not a seal!
Yes, this is in Oxford. It was erected when I was a student there in the 80s.
Evolutionary FAIL
or
omg, Land Shark gets innovative!
I’ve seen loads of these. I’ve seen one of a boat somewhere.
Cant remember if it was irl or a pic. lol
“We’re gonna need a bigger SHARK”
thats not a fail that supposed to be there. i saw it in my riplies book or however u spell it.
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.
ha i drove past that house everyday on way to work back then,
its a win imo tho
i saw this in a book called a dat for cancer that my mum gave me . it was in there , made about 1988
i love it.
The loan shark strikes again
I live near here! ^-^ I can’t believe people think this was an accident… A shark through someone’s roof. lol.
ok that definately isnt photoshoped, how the hell did that get there!
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.)
FAAAAAIILLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
THE RETURN OF JAWS
seaworld feeds it’s sharks steroids… then they jump through hoops…
only logical explination (other then the clear fact it was built!)
Mickey mouse isn’t on the roof anymore…
guess sharks don’t like to let go of prey or maybe they evolved to land!!!! aaaaah!!!! run! land sharks are invading!!!
The first guy who posted the comment is obviously a complete idiot. He actually asked how it happened. lol.
Land shark win!
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.
so obviously photoshopped its not even funny
Read the backstory before making yourself look like an idiot. It’s a fibre glass artwork.
flying fish…
Haha the Headington Shark
. Oxford university isn’t the only good thing about Oxford hehehe
i guess they mixed up the bomb with the shark. they look so similar you know?
its not a fail, its genious
Fiberglass shark i saw it lately
wow, never expected to see this anywhere again, almost forgot about it…
i’ve been there 15 years ago as we stayed a night in oxford… unfortunately it wasn’t until sunset as we managed to come around there to take pictures, but some guy we met at a pub nearby sent us some proper pics by mail a few weeks later. primitive pre-internet times…
you gave the three fitty?!?!?!?
