Lost Gnome

Saw a slide advertising this site at the theater before a movie today.

I don't get it.

I think it's an attempt at viral marketing by travelocity.. They're running commercials featuring the same garden gnome on TV

Maybe this will help...

Rather like an extended April Fool's joke, the gnomes disappear, and in subsequent weeks the owners receive postcards from the little people, postmarked from all over the world. Sometimes, the gnome comes home, usually altered in some way, such as the aquisition of a sun tan achieved with a liberal application of boot polish, or holding a little suitcase. The logistics involved are obviously not straightforward. Who has the freedom to carry a gnome around the world, visiting exotic spots and sending postcards back? One serious suggestion is oil-rig workers, who freelance around the world's rigs and have time on their hands. Maybe.

Matthew Good featured a concrete lawn gnome in one of his videos. The video begins with Matt and his cohorts stealing the lawn ornament and carting it around to various locals while snapping polaroids. Little Gnomey makes his way to the bright lights of Vegas, the gates of Graceland in Memphis and a wax museum where he poses with a variety of immortalized celebs.

[...]

I'm getting ready to start traveling again, and soon I will have to recon the neighborhood for another gnome to take with.

There was an ad for a reward for the lost gnome in the Tampa Tribune on Sunday.
