One of the greatest phenomenons in the past decade - a damn Leprechaun is loose in Mobile, Alabama! I don't know how many of you have seen the news video that was taken about the recent Leprechaun sightings - but it's well-worth watching! Because of the cult-following from this news story, there have been rap songs, video montages, merchandise, and websites popping up all over the internet to fuel the fires that burn within our curiosity!
This is the original news broadcast about the incident. I can only imagine how bummed the news reporter was when he was assigned this report... But then I'm sure he never could have guessed that this will be his most famous story. For the rest of his life, this reporter can claim "I covered the Leprechaun story!"
But, one thing is for sure - us Alabama residents are all very proud of Mobile. Once again, we've got the entire Country (and world) looking at us and shaking their heads. We're so special, we have a fucking leprechaun in a tree! Now, some people would say that we are exploiting a small community filled with people who "don't know any better", but I think a comment like that is just plain rasist. I'm sure that if there were rich people living there, they'd see the leprechaun, too! These people are just trying to share with the world that they live in a special area that attracts a particular leprechaun. Who are we to say that it doesn't exist? And if you try to claim that leprechauns DON'T exist, then what's next? No Jesus? No Santa Claus? No devil? No tooth fairy? If we live in a world where those things don't exist, then it's a world that I don't want to live in.
And these people are PROVING that he exists - didn't you see the sketch they made of him?!?! You have to take it seriously now. We believe that Jesus is white because of all the pictures made of him - why can't we use this same logic with a leprechaun? They MUST exist, and they are residing down in Mobile, Alabama! I think I know where my next vacation is going to be!
So, if you're curious about all the things that have come to light becuase of this news piece, just check out Where Da Gold At to listen to some of the songs created and maybe buy some of the merchandise. I only wish I had come up with this idea (the marketing idea, that is. I'm totally convinced that the Leprechaun is real).
