This is either the best or the worst thing I have ever seen on Youtube. I still can't decide.
Ok so it's kind of old news and even
South Park got there first. I never saw it though!
Personally, I'd like to believe that everyone in the neighbourhood got together and decided to pretend there was a leprechaun in the tree to get a bunch of attention and possibly a few extra tourist bucks, and inside they're laughing uproariously at the dumb news-crew actually bothering to cover it... but I just don't know. Most of the comments on
the various reposts are predictably sickening, of course, but then
Youtube comments generally are.
T-shirts
are also available!
[ETA: I finally found the true original posting and updated the embed to match it.]
