Video: Slowest news day in history wreaks havoc on British tabloid
posted at 8:51 pm on March 11, 2008 by Allahpundit
I’m extrapolating about the “slowest news day” thing. Simply because there can be no other explanation for this.
If you see only one film this year of a drunken Argentinian midget in a dunce cap stumbling about in the darkness, let it be this. Click the image to watch.

You kidding? Just one?
That was a nice video though.
OneGyT on March 11, 2008 at 8:55 PM
I think it’s viral marketing for Travelocity, myself.

One can always count on the British media to inject absolutely useless, pathetic bits of tripe into the mainstream. But I still watch it. EVERY TIME.
Now, then… about those $4300 hookers. C’mon, Sun!
wccawa on March 11, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Why are these videos always, always, always grainy and moving around so much? ;-)
To me it looks like Spitzer’s dignity taking a stroll…

I want to know what Al Franken is doing in Argentina. If he’s going to get drunk and walk around with a pointy hat, shouldn’t he at least do it in Minnesota where he’s trying to win an election?
radjah shelduck on March 11, 2008 at 9:00 PM
spooky. How tall would y’all say this fellow is?
Tacitus on March 11, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Ok who films something for 5 seconds and then screams?
- The Cat
P.S. The monkeys are playing with the traffic cones again.
P.P.S. Number 2 has it.
MirCat on March 11, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Its just Kim Jong Il trying to find Carneval.
William Amos on March 11, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Well now I know where my first wife is.
Limerick on March 11, 2008 at 9:02 PM
foflmao so you mean Al Franken IS a comedian??? who woulda thunk it?
allrsn on March 11, 2008 at 9:03 PM
The Brits must be thinking “No wonder they lost the bloody Falklands War”.
RobCon on March 11, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Ever seen one of those in someones garden…., the eyes follow you.
Really!!!
Kini on March 11, 2008 at 9:06 PM
I hate being approached by exit pollsters like this one.
CyberCipher on March 11, 2008 at 9:08 PM
I tell ya…google “Stolen garden gnomes” if you get a minute…you should SEE the amount of info! MAybe this one was making a break for it.
JetBoy on March 11, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Saw this on Ace’s page earlier, and was wondering if it would make the cut to the pages of HotAir.
Indeed!
Seven Percent Solution on March 11, 2008 at 9:10 PM
You’d be scared, too, if you saw a traffic cone come to life.
TexasDan on March 11, 2008 at 9:10 PM
nice to see kucinich getting a vacation in after winning his primary
lorien1973 on March 11, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Freaks me out. Reminds me of that fake “candid” shot of the alien at the kids birthday party in “Signs”. I know it’s fake………yet {shudder}.
Guardian on March 11, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Perhaps it was Obama’s political experience walking around. Did you notice how it managed to sidestep so well?
cannonball on March 11, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Coincidentally, has anyone seen Dennis Kucinich?
Weight of Glory on March 11, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Darn you, and your fast fingers of fury!
Weight of Glory on March 11, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Oh this is just great,we have to worry about terrorists,
but this has totally caught me off gaurd,now on video
there real,these little nasty gnomes could reek unimaginable
horror and pure terror on the populace.
The next time I pass some little old ladys yard,when I’m
out for a walk about,I will closely moniter these little
gnomes! Oh,brother this is too much fun,Hehe!
canopfor on March 11, 2008 at 9:24 PM
This reminds me of Blazing Saddles,substitute the 10 gallon
hat for the gnome,is that a 10 gallon hat,or are you just
enjoying the show!Haha
canopfor on March 11, 2008 at 9:27 PM
I have two garden terrorists in the backyard. Each have a Budweiser (full) sitting right next to them. I couldn’t drink it so I figured what the hell….
Limerick on March 11, 2008 at 9:27 PM
gawd.
That’s horrifying.
John from OPFOR on March 11, 2008 at 9:28 PM
DON’T LOOK NOW
Reaps on March 11, 2008 at 9:30 PM
I think they like to be called “little people” now.
Mark V. on March 11, 2008 at 9:33 PM
Them Argentinian teenagers scare easy, don’t they?
Frozen Tex on March 11, 2008 at 9:39 PM
I have two garden terrorists…
Limerick on March 11,2008 at 9:27PM.
Limerick: I hope for your sake and your families that you
have a motion detector set up scanning your back
yard,if not for the love of g!d,please don’t fall
asleep with those two micro-terrorists waiting to
pounce at any minute! haha
canopfor on March 11, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Finally, we now know what happened to Neal Gabler.
SteveMG on March 11, 2008 at 9:49 PM
I saw Bigfoot once. 1951. Back in Sequoia National Park. Had a foot on him thirty-seven inches, heel to toe. It made a sound I would not want to hear twice in my life.
splink on March 11, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Robert Reich in a pointy hat?
Lehuster on March 11, 2008 at 10:07 PM
I sell garden terrorists! (shameless plug!) :P
lorien1973 on March 11, 2008 at 10:11 PM
Dennis Kucinich CAUGHT ON VIDEO!
Gatordoug on March 11, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Ha! Close Encounters, goot one.

Pretty much explains the whole thing.
Asher on March 11, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I’m tellin’ ya, it’s a Halo Grunt! Garantee it’s a hoax to promote the movie.
Mazztek on March 11, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Asher…wow! where has that been?
At first he was walking bowlegged then shifted into a side shuffle.
A dwarf in a conical hat at night trying to enjoy a walk in a cynical world more apt to harass than let an unusual stranger pass.
BL@KBIRD on March 11, 2008 at 11:43 PM
They are after the underpants!
Doc Mike on March 12, 2008 at 12:43 AM
This is even better than the Monkey Man that was terrorizing New Delhi a few years back.
Nosferightu on March 12, 2008 at 1:17 AM
There’s No Business like Gnome Business Like No Business I Knome….

Captain Scarlet wins first prize for pun of the month
Its a dragging behind a stinky mule
EricPWJohnson on March 12, 2008 at 7:28 AM
We need gnomes on the border. Seems to scare the tacos out of them South Americans.
Hening on March 12, 2008 at 7:57 AM
Someone in Argentina must have discovered the Blair Witch Project.
Neo on March 12, 2008 at 8:37 AM
It’s clearly some kind of alien life form… sort of like Hillary, except not as scary.
