Creepy gnome stalks the streets of Argentina

A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a ‘creepy gnome’ that locals claim stalks the streets at night, The Sun reports. The little person — who wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk — was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.

Full story, with excellent video.

In a very weird way, this gives me great hope for humanity.  This ‘little person’ could have simply accepted his fate and become a bitter, angry, uh, little person with a fondness for filterless cigarettes and gin gimlets.  (Or a stunt performer for kids in Hollywood, but that’s another thread.)

Rather than curse his fate, he’s exploiting it.  I hope the video was made by a collaborator, and they sell it to TMZ for a small fortune.
