This is real: I have seen this in my feed several times but never watched it and never noticed the length or realized it was a shitpost. Somewhere, subconsciously, I thought that it was true and Blahaj really was banned somewhere. So much so that in a job interview with IKEA I asked about it and they seemed very confused. But honestly it helped break the ice and I landed the job. So uh, thanks!

My favorite part about this is that you could have definitely cropped the video cuts better so that the actual shark Tom is talking about never shows up on screen, but in true YTP levels of commitment, that is decidedly not what happened.

I don't lie siding with the government but I do kind of have concern about structural integrity of this art piece. Either it is light and therefore vulnerable to strong winds (a tree collapsed like a weak ago behind my house) Or it is heavy and putting strain on the structure. Well I'm not gonna go around telling people what they "can or cannot" do, but if it does go wrong I would certainly be there to say "I told you so".

@TOMSCOTTYTP

5 ай бұрын

First of all your not siding with the government if that worries you. They've been entirely in favour of the sculpture for years. Secondly Huh, the piece is made form a hollow metal shell and is securely attached to the roof of the house its not actually very tall so isnt at risk of winds and the sculptures been up for at least 10 years without issue The main historical criticism has been that the house is bad for the house prices of the other houses on the road Which has been exacerbated by the house being turned into an Airbnb. In terms of safety it's more of an issue in terms of the roof that was removed to make it
