Just something I thought to share with you all.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article902014.ece QUOTE The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters. Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina. He said: €œWe were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning. €œI began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking. "Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones. "We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid." Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome. He said: €œThis is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now. "One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.€ Link to higher quality video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJSTMOGH0w8 I oft wonder why so many things occur in Mexico / southern half of America.

I looked at the high res video and noticed they actually flashed a flashlight on the gnome for about half a second. After a couple of attempts, I captured the look. Damn, this is creepy. Tell me they went through all the trouble to build a computer generated gnome for a half-second flash of light on its face...

Yeah. People don't realize that they're not joking about sending out a gnome to enforce the gaurantee.

the source is the sun, but the vid looks pretty real, I don't think that they would go through the trouble to actually do that, but then again it could be some midget in a pointy hat,

I really don't think that's a "gnome". Who ever was screaming must lead a very boring life. That thing wasn't anywhere near scary. If it bothers you, punt it.

I would have seen a carear in movies and sideshow acts and snatched the little bugger up and put him in a potato sack. Forced him to sign a contract with me as his agent.
I think those silly kids missed a real oppertunity here. |
