Yes, that's right. The Cardiff Kook [pronounced KooooooK] was swallowed (almost) whole by a shark over the weekend. I know I am not the first one to report it, but I HAD to.
Even the mayor said the prank played on the Cardiff Kook made him laugh and he can't stop smiling. The level of genius that some people go through to to prank the Cardiff Kook is just outstanding and downright entertaining!
The poor artist that rendered the "surfing" kid has caught nothing but flack from local surfers and critics alike for not looking very "surfy". The Cardiff Kook looks as if he is walking on water with his arms stretched out and limp wrists. *Disclaimer* I myself am not an artist and could not do this either, so this is just my physical description of the Cardiff Kook and not my artistic eye criticizing the artist in any way*.
The amazing thing is how this paper mache'd shark was built to entomb the 16' tall Cardiff Kook statue. Too bad it has to come down soon.. It has drawn so many visitors in the last couple days just hoping to get a picture before the city of Cardiff hauls it away.
