‘Alabama Leprechaun’ is turning 18 and it’s still St. Patty’s Day gold
Ah, 2006. What a time to have been alive. Justin Timberlake’s ‘SexyBack’ was rocking the charts, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was crushing at the box office, and YouTube was celebrating its first full year in existence.
March of that year would give us one of the most chaotic and beautiful videos ever captured on camera. In case you don’t remember, there was an alleged leprechaun sighting in a town called Crichton in Mobile, Alabama. After news crews showed up to a large gathering of people, residents of Mobile would be forever enshrined in the internet hall of fame.
