Oct 21 2008Frightening Little Gnome Still Gnoming Strong In Argentina
Remember the gnome/leprechaun that was terrorizing Argentina? Well, he's still around, and, apparently, still looking for his gold.
The teens - who recorded footage of the freaky being on their mobile phone - said they are now "too terrified" to go out at night.
Experts who examined the latest footage, taken in the town of Clodomira, province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, last week, say it is 'credible'.But sceptics say the sidestepping 'gnome' could be a speedy child or even a small animal.
Haha, no. What in the hell would a child on speed or a dog want with with a pot of gold? Exactly, nothing. "WHO ELSE SEE THE LEPRECHAUN SAY YEEEAAAH!"
'Creepy gnome' back on prowl [thesun]
Thanks again to Julian, who, for two tips in one day receives a free lap dance. Ladies?

I can't see the lil gnome/leprechaun/whateverthehellitis because alas, I am thrawrted by firewall.
Thank you GW for teasing, and leaving me only able to view the Bacon Suit, which counter to popular belief, makes me not want sausage in any form.

GNOME'TH
11. Daisy - October 21, 2008 4:54 PM
Fake!
Thats a complete Photoshop job. You can tell because the shadows are all wrong.
It kinda looks like a recreated scene from Never Back Down.
12. Ollie Williams - October 21, 2008 4:55 PM
Wow, could this video be any blurrier?
WHO WANTS THIS DOG?
13. Jo Mama - October 21, 2008 5:11 PM
Forget the gnome for a second... What the hell were those fairy f***tards doing frolicking in the street for? They probably summoned his ass on accident.
14. mamadough - October 21, 2008 5:18 PM
13, if that kinda shit summons his ass, shouldn't he be popping in to every gay club in america?
15. fedak - October 21, 2008 5:52 PM
Obvious fake is obvious.
16. jackassiscool - October 21, 2008 5:55 PM
it's a dog.....whats the problem?
17. asdadas - October 21, 2008 6:15 PM
Sweeeet Mobile Leprechaun reference!
18. Uncle Eccoli - October 21, 2008 6:24 PM
Whatever it is, it doesn't seem at all bothered by the kids in the street. It doesn't strike me as a dog. Their reaction seems a bit off somehow. Anybody speak Argentinish?
19. Ash - October 21, 2008 6:25 PM
Fake!! This is just a clip from Leprechaun (5) In the hood Which is clearly better the leprechaun in space. Look you can even see Ice-T in the backround.
20. Lynz - October 21, 2008 7:18 PM
I wish Daisy would stfu about that shit in every post.
21. fromargentins - October 21, 2008 8:09 PM
Yeah, their reaction is weird. At first they go, "dude, look at that, look at that" and
then suddenly go "ahhhhh"
22. Nava - October 21, 2008 9:21 PM
Capuchin monkey
23. Jukai - October 21, 2008 9:39 PM
Guys, leave the travelocity gnome alone. The dude's almost done visiting Argentina.
24. Joe - October 21, 2008 10:25 PM
There's been another sighting :(

25. deportivo - October 21, 2008 10:51 PM
that thing looks like those little dudes from halo
26. Mike - October 21, 2008 11:00 PM
Wow 99% is blurry gay kids dancing in the street. I guess in Argentina they don't believe in editing out the crap and getting to the point.
27. JS - October 21, 2008 11:58 PM
They should have gnome better
28. Dr.Freak - October 22, 2008 12:41 AM
no point commenting about the clip as it's obviously FAKE! Who waltz's in the street in the middle of the night with no music, i mean really?
@20... I have realised that "person" loves the attention it gets from pissing people off by saying the same dumb thing post after post, so there is an easy way to get rid of her... When you see that name, just skip over to the next post... You know what she was going to say anyway.
Ignore the annoying child & it will get bored.
29. Dylan - October 22, 2008 1:06 AM
Im telling you its a f***ing grunt from Halo. Big foot sightings are actually a brute with no body armor. BTW, why do they always scream and run at the end of the video?
30. Anon - October 22, 2008 1:30 AM
That's Chile, not Argentina.
31. Robyn - October 22, 2008 3:23 AM
It's... a dog. I heard it barking. Does anyone really buy this?
Especially the part where teenagers dance in the street without drugs.
32. Scotty D - October 22, 2008 6:18 AM
Where does it say at all those kids were not on drugs?
33. Ihatebrutes - October 22, 2008 7:43 AM
That thing IS a grunt. Looks just like a major from CE! The Covies are coming!!!
34. Ash - October 22, 2008 9:24 AM
Agreed. Its probably a stunt to promote Halo
35. Ash - October 22, 2008 11:09 AM
Or a scene from little people big world
36. jaime - October 22, 2008 11:49 AM
i call FAKE!
it looks just like the other one. and when the guys talk it doesn't sound like a real conversation. i'm from argentina and if i saw something like that i'd say something different than "wait, look, look at that. let's go, no, don't, shh" and then scream at the end for no particular reason. (deja vu?)
37. Mike - October 22, 2008 1:36 PM
HAHA did anyone catch the leprechaun reference?

Might be a crackhead
40. Jared - October 22, 2008 11:50 PM
@ 39: You totally beat me to the punch.
That video and that particular lady's "theory" was the first thing that came to mind.
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/203/
and that "amateur sketch" should be on a tshirt somewhere.
41. beedee - October 24, 2008 12:18 PM
this is total crap. it looks exactly like how I'd imagine you'd manufacture a fake. besides, what are these douchebags doing just twirling around?
travelocity's yankin your chains.
42. NiCKY - October 24, 2008 2:56 PM
Oh c'mon.. It's a drunk dwarf with a traffic cone on his head.
43. birdie - October 26, 2008 10:24 PM
Careful, that's no gnome. It's the dreaded pombero. Dare not speak his name out loud.
