You know the whole traveling garden gnome craze? I first heard about it in the wonderful French film Amélie, and not too long after that Travelocity starting featuring the little guy in their commercials. Then the Amazing Race picked up on it and catapulted the bearded ones into super-stardom.
The little gnomes better watch out, though…and I mean really watch out, because there’s a new traveling effigy making its way around the world: Mr. T.
I’m not sure how or why, but does it matter? This Flickr set currently features 150 images of Mr. T in far-flung places, hobnobbing with celebrities like Moby and Christina Ricci. How’d he get so lucky?
