Where is my Gnome?
|
Where is my Gnome? was a series of viral marketing ads used by Travelocity in early 2004. The ads consisted of a man named "Bill" looking for his garden gnome. On January 3, the Boston Herald and the Boston Globe had these ads on their publication.
After TV ads voiced by Harry Enfield were screened nationally on United States networks, and on a website whereismygnome.com, many readers considered it to be a prank of the Garden Gnome Liberation Front.
The idea was long an urban legend among travellers. It was used as a subplot in the French film Amélie.
