I do disagree with calling the shark in Headington pointless. Most Headington people are quite affectionate about it. Local campaigns have saved it from an over zealous council several times. Its point is a protest about nuclear war, as your link explained. It doesn't really spoil the skyline, as you can only see it in one terraced street. To those who don't know Oxford, your post seems to imply that a shark is competing with the dreaming spires.
In its original context, it was opposite a massive pair of stockinged legs dancing the can can, on the front of a theater called "Not The Moulin Rouge" These two together were much more imaginative than bland corporate art. The theater has now been replaced with bland 'executive apartments'. Big up diversity and local distinctivess, I say.
