    I couldn't figure out if this would fall under humor or current affairs. Seeing as it was an actual news broadcast I decided to plug it here, where the rest of the news goes (never mind the Ebaum tag).

    I consider this a shining example of us Yanks at our finest.

    When you see this, you begin to understand why no one seems to take us seriously anymore.

    If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go cry in a corner.

    You guys, on the other hand, can enjoy! :3

    Yeah america is doomed. I swear it reminds me of that radio broadcast from a long time ago. I wasn't there but I heard things about it. Anyway it was a popular story. Don't know the name but it is a classic.

    Anyway the point is that this is a scare. There are no leprechauns. Unless you are missing some technology. I swear they steal it. Or was that gnomes? Or gremlins?

    And what happened to the war?:p

    The Leprechaun FLU passed from over a thousand years ago!? Seriously America. Though, it IS up for a good laugh, and it's not like anybody is making the Leprechaun (or however you spell it official), they're just showing the people there to give us a good laugh.^^

    Someone was obvisouly on crack. Oh well, one American can make all the others seem dumb. But it does scare me.

    "There all after his pot o gold!!!"

    I like the sketch that they did, seriously that five year old deserves a pat on the back for getting it in the news.

    Seriously though people do tend to be superstious (sp?) about certain things, even in large crowds... that or just plain stupit, i'm sorry to say.

    Anyway.. here's a witty response to the leprechaun dudes:
    DAH!
