Fake Capsizing Boat Trolls the High Seas

Excellent title.

Very creative and suggests a healthy sense of humour in the artist!

This is awesome for sure

ha! interesting.

seems extremely fucking pointless… i would rather pay less a real sail boat that actually works…

Did you have your sense of humor surgically removed at some point?

A bit strange but is it art or something more it has no real purpose but it makes you look twice!

He should just go around in the boat with a pair of speakers blaring the that Communist Troll Theme.

All you would see is this boat floating toward you, seemingly sinking, with the only sound being “TROLOL LOL LOL LOL LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL, LOL LOL LOOOOOOL”

wow… great creativity man.. really very nice ans safe idea…

all you boats belong to us

Damn.

are*

dang looks nice

LOlz!

This guy is no more an “artist” then the entire cast of “Jackass the movie”. Leading people to believe that you are in trouble is a sad excuse to garner attention.

I take it the boat runs on a trolling motor.

^^Win

nice post

Recreational boats are pointless after a small amount of time, while different, it just seems like such a waste.

and you call yourself an artist? if you were you would be able to see the humor in this.

I think it’s actually pretty spectacular. people aren’t gonna panic and get upset when he reveals his funny secret, they are going to laugh and be impressed. I know i am. lighten up

You mean magnets?

The thing is, some people are going to see this from a distance, and when you see a boat that looks like it’s sinking, the natural reaction isn’t to think that it’s funny and laugh all the way back to the dock. You panic and go to see what’s happening.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this were illegal, actually.

Illegal??? Why on earth should it be? He’s not signalling distress at all.

dude, This is Hilarious with capitals, He aint hurting anybody, it is a great idea, it attracts people, for good or for bad, artist play with emotions, nobody said those should be only good emotions

I love it!! He’s Trolling the waters, Most people stay behind there computer to troll. I love it. He stepped up his game. lol

Now it would REALLY suck if he sank that boat.

It is very similar to crying fire in a crowded theatre. probably shouldn’t be illegal but is definately f*cked. ask any sailor

well, it can move around in the water. it has a motor.

Quit fucking bitching about this. If you don’t think its funny, get the fuck out, get a sense of humor.

I really love whoever decided to create a boat like this. They are officially THE COOLEST PERSON ALIVE… or dead. :)

na kid you just have no imagination, art is all around us but its views like that that show how close minded people are, art isn’t just a picture or a sculpter

whats the point? not even funny

negative people suck ^ learn to laugh loser

I’m sure everyone in the marina and the local authorities are well aware of the boat’s nature, he had to get it registered in order to use the marina and sail the thing. No one is going to be rushing to his aid unless there is a distress call, so props to him for making something fun and unique.

as clever as this might be…anybody with any nautical experience would agree this is a unecessarily dangerous stunt. a good boaters reaction to such a vessel would be to drop everything and b-line it to possibly save a life.

It is wrong, funny but still wrong if i did see this boat from a distance I would call for help.

What does it look like when it’s sinking?

I love that Hitler said this. :D

Somali (or any other) pirates would love to get their hands on this boat. It brings their prey right to the target.

And that’s really the only purpose for a boat like this.

an unnecessarily dangerous stunt? time to move out of your overly protective parents house, take a few risks and live your life.

very nice!
have a minute for the best at—> http://www.paleochora.com
thank you

CONTRAVERSIAL….

Had that been his intention it certainly worked – you lot are running around like headless chickens trying to decide if it’s funny or illegal….

That alone makes this funny

Actually, it is art, but it is also highly amoral. It is akin to calling the police for a fake love. And that is illegal. However, since the high seas are no man’s “land”, there is no law set against it. Although if I ever meet this guy, I will punch him hard in the nuts. That is art, too, by your definition. If not, don’t be so close-minded!

youre a fucking dick. shut up.

I’d like to see a boatload of somali Pirates fit on that boat. Its a one man vessel, and as long as he isn’t hailing for help. Its pretty cool, … even if I paniced and rushed to his aid, I wouldnt be upset upon finding out it was a fake. I would get a good laugh out of it. It would be worth the trip.

You are an idiot. for the sake of mankind, stop talking.

Agreed

Since when does art need purpose?

Haters gonna hate! I think it’s hilarious.

What a bunch of crap! Some people call a dog turd art! I just love how some people believe they and some so called artist are so intelligent becuase they can imagine a theme or idea that is totally bunk. Keep staring at the Jesus in urine and I am sure you mental giants can see art value. Punch the boat maker in the nuts twice for me.

I think this is really creative, I love when people put spins on everyday things, there’s nothing wrong with it. stop your bitching, it’s art. get over it.

Shame on you, you Idoit how many people have called coast guard or rescue on your stupid drunken fishing non-artistic self

yea it’s just a bit of fun, why are people getting so annoyed by this. Just another dude with a fun random idea. Made me laugh as i’m sure it did to alot of you who saw it, but all the serious douche bags out there say its dangerous, misleading and such, smoke a joint then look at it again. you’ll love it :D

How do magnets work?

I don’t know how I feel about this boat, but I do know that venting pent up frustration and anger anonymously online can be pretty satisfying. If it is due to dissatisfaction of one’s own life being spent on forums rather than on a fine vessel such as this, it makes it even better. Let’s hug.

♫ there goes my hero….watch him as he goesssss ♪

Man, have you people ever been on a boat? They don’t just take off after someone if they perceive danger, they radio first to see what the situation is. Rage somewhere else, this article shouldn’t even have made a stir. It’s a boat, that is clearly legal sitting among at least a hundred other boats in a marina. If you can’t see the humor in it, you can at least see the craftsmanship that went into it.

Looks like this is trolling more than just the seas

You are a piece of shit.. this is actually a pretty cool design.

jackass is a form of art. you must have watched it i guess. they made more money than your “art” ever will. JACKASS. you fake ass artist. I’ll piss on your work.

It’s probably not verry energy efficient, so I don’t think he’ll take it out that often, and I don’t think they will become common in the seas either. The purpose of postmodern art is to break boundaries and to get people thinking. So the only fact that he gets this kind of debate: funny vs. amoral proves that this work of art is accomplished. Plus there was incredible craftmanship and ingeniering put it to this. I’m impressed.

 While the SOLAS requirement for mariner’s requires ” the master of a ship
at sea which is in a position to be able to provide assistance, on
receiving a signal from any source that persons are in distress at sea,
is bound to proceed with all speed to their assistance, if possible
informing them or the search and rescue service that the ship is doing so,” interpretations of this requirement are aimed at  requiring the master “to render assistance to any person in danger of being lost at sea.”
It’s not just a nice idea to call the coast guard, it’s the law to render assistance. In Canada, not rendering assistance may be punishable by a fine of $1M and 18 months in prison.
I appreciate the effort that went into creating this boat, but it’s disruptive and dangerous, and an excellent bait to be used by pirates.

hehe I hope him and his boat sink now that would be humor/art

No, the Shark theme music sung as “Troll lol lol lol lol lol lol” on repeat by a professional choir would be more awesome.

And besides that, if a boat stays this way (not actually sinking more then already appears to have sunk) for a long period of time, who’s gonna think it’s real? Even more so if it’s moving around in a controlled manner.

See my comment just above. Nobody that actually is near the guy are going to think he’s sinking.

Magic!

This boat actually DOES work, so -1 on you for that one.

People need to be screwed with. People are stupid rash and selfish. They deserve this.

Okay well if you see the boat, and it doesn’t continue to sink…..

I don’t know what all the fuss is about, I see no difference between this and publicity. THAT you still call art, even though it fools you everyday.

Genius!!!!!!!!!!! can you say “MADE YA LOOK”….i wonder what happens if that boat ever does capsize tho

This is a truly remarkable piece of craftsmanship. However… IT’S JUST A PIECE OF ART! I doubt the artist make it to look ‘super cool’ in the sea! He most likely made it to pursue an amazing idea he formulated in his head. This was made because of artistic abilities… Not practicality.

a fake love?

a fake love?

Precisely!!

Well put!!

It’s only art when Justin Bieber’s not on the boat…..his level of shit cancels out the art.

I can’t believe that people are actually upset about this, this is seriously awesome. learn to have some fun

youre a dumbass
…
just saying.

And what happens when a boat that looks similar (but, you know, is actually a sailboat) actually is sinking, and no one goes to the rescue because they think it’s this jackass?

No but I bet the coastguard would when you called them!

That’s only a problem if there’s nobody that wonders if it’s actually real, they don’t ever have a thought to check it out (if only to take a picture) and they don’t wonder why there’s not any (calm) person visible (since it ain’t a submarine).

To everyone saying this is stupid and such, then you must be talking about yourself and have no sense of creativity.  This is a very clever and unique design.  I’m sure people may get worried but that’s what people are meant to do.  Once they find out it’s all fake and a joke, they’re going to think of how funny, and actually very smart the design and idea is.  How could you not?

well you sir are just a fucking pussy who does not respect other peoples creativity which is the pure essence of art fucking douchebag

How nice. I’ve always wanted a serial killer boat.

Chris, you have no sense of humor, ‘actually’.

all boats and boaters must sink and this pays amage to those sinkers, ships ahoy lol

we need more sinking ships in the water because right now the water is sooooooooo boring

I think the OP meant “…for a fake, love.”  Fake meaning “prank”.  Love meaning something akin to “dear”, ”honey” or “pal”.

It is a joke.  I highly doubt the thing is really cruising around in big water.  And thanks a lot to all of the assholes that keep throwing out the idea of Somalia Pirates.  Sure they have the idea now if they didn’t already.  Yes, this boat is a waist of time and all that, but all art is.  Art is great don’t get me wrong, but it is only used to create talking points.  This did its job perfectly. 

I would think that most of the people that object to this are boaters, they can see the danger.
Think about it for a while even our much abused rights of free speech will not let you shout “fire” in a crowded theater.

this is hilarious….if u have the money why not have a little fun, get that stick out of ur ass and enjoy life

Doesn’t matter what you do in life.  Some twit is not going to like and some other twit is going to want to outlaw it.  Then there are the ones who will want to regulate and tax it,

I’d say the point of art is to create strong reactions…all I can say “read all above^^”

fuck you.

This is kind of messed up.  Nice boat and all, but maybe make something that doesn’t trick people into thinking that someone could be in mortal danger.  Have you never heard of the boy who cried wolf?  Classic tale of morality, you should read it sometime.

Trolling in real life….nice! :D

Actually, it depends on what he does with it that makes it art or a safety things. If he drives around a beach where people know him it’s art. If he sells it to pirates in Africa, it’s terrorism.

Yeah, this is nice

I agree completely with Appelschild. It’s part of being an artist to stand out and to play with ones emotions. What Julien has done is nothing short of brilliant. I think that if he were to read all of these negative comments, it would only bring him joy. You people obviously don’t understand the way an artist thinks.

What’s the big deal about someone nautical, particularly a recreational boater, speeding over to check out this guy’s highly original boat? If anyone has any sense of humor, they will find it hilarious. It’s not like you will have to risk your life to putt your way over to him and find out you’ve just come across something unique and funny. 99% of sailors out there are just out there for fun, so why don’t y’all relax, and see the humor in this?

haha, the trolling worked on this dude :P

You clearly have no idea what ‘amoral’ means, lol.

I think the true art of this webpage is the epic trolling, i laughed harder reading it than looking at the boat.

your an idiot

This boat is kind of like a dirty joke. Yes it is funny / clever, but there is a time and place for it. You wouldn’t tell a dirty joke in an inappropriate place would you? Then maybe the same hold true for this vessel… Just don’t cruise it around the lake or ocean, maybe its better suited as a prop for a shore side bar, Disney land, novelty marina landmark, etc… Its like marijuana, no need for people to get bent out of shape about it, just don’t use it irresponsibly, that’s all :)

Wild guess, you are a liberal.

It’s still funny…

Yeah, because there are no conservative douche bags…

easy buddy grow a dick

This is frickin awesome! You know the whole world is a yin-yan. Everything has a good and a bad side. For instance guns can protect people, but it can also kill. A fire can keep you warm, but it can also burn down a house, A knife can help you cut food, but it can be used to stab people. You cant say that this is a bad thing, it’s art. I’m pretty sure this guy has got no bad intentions for his boat, so stop slanting it and appreciate what he created. I’m pretty sure you would not have had the creativity to think of something like this ever.

yyyooouuurrr aaa bitch

If this is illegal then why is it in a dock, which, for obvious reasons, is monitored by various types of security such as; these things called cameras, coastguard, police, et cetera? someone would have been like, hey, bro, not cool dude! 

shut up and quit bitching this shit is funny

cynical

Clearly he is in no distress. So lets just say that. Second Awesome idea i appreciate the humor in this.

artist 14, go fuck yourself. You cynical piece of shit

Agree, it’s also an unwritten rule to help other boats in distress and my boss would probably try to sue the hell out of this guy for delaying his huge extremely expensive container ship.

 What would be really funny is sending a boat when he’s in real problems and constantly keep a distance of 30 ft.

 Jep, just as frickin awesome as throwing a doll, exactly looking like a close friend of yours, from a 20 stories building.

 Indeed, I’d beat the shit out of this guy.

 So, buy a boat, go sailing and I’ll help you with a bazooka.

Would it be funny if an artist threw a fake handgrenade on your lawn when you just stepped out the door, would you think it’s smart and a nice joke ?

 Ehh… nobody would rescue him ?
