One of Sheffield's favourite inanimate statue's became animated yesterday as a spoof news report had thousands of people in stitches on April Fools Day.
Award-winning manufacturers Gripple Ltd, Savile Street East, Sheffield, removed their famous sculpture of a spider off their building a week ago not knowing that it would be the focus of a side-splitting humorous gag.
The hoax YouTube report by NNN news journalists has over 4000 views already, leaving the question on every ones lips, where has the spider gone?
The mock broadcast consists of a reporter interviewing staffs at Gripple Ltd, who voice their concerns about the spider walking off to pastures unknown.
James Lambert, 34, Employee of Gripple Ltd, said: "It was a great gag and I enjoyed acting in it. I hope it makes people who watch it laugh n'all."
Onlookers also acted out eye-witness accounts of the spider crawling off, backed up by CCTV type footage of the actual event itself with great computer animation.
The whereabouts of the spider are still unconfirmed and Gripple are asking the public to keep their eyes peeled.
