Are you kidding me?

This showed up on the beaches of Siesta Key , a part of Sarasota (where I live). Ultra weird.



Lego Man

My conspiracy mind is going into overdrive. This Lego Man showed up at the 2011 best beach in the United States. Look it up if you don't believe me. I am now thinking LegoLand Florida is a part of this.

In October 2008, he showed up on the shores of Brighton, England, according to the BBC.

Sorry, just a really well timed coincidence

They had this story on Screamscape to. But in that update it said Legoland wanted nothing to do with the stunt.

Cool. Y cant great america do that plaster every mall with posters and video of the new ride that would be a nice marketing for the park boosts pass sale and more tourist in the city or put in big red Xs all over the place with the rides logo on it.

Legoland was not behind it, said Julie Estrada, a company spokeswoman. "I wish we could say we did it. It was a brilliant guerrilla PR stunt," she said.

The front of his shirt was emblazoned with a message in fractured English: "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE." The name "Ego Leonard" was written on the back of his shirt.

Google "Ego Leonard," and you'll find he has his own website, written in Dutch with some explanation rendered in a relentlessly cheerful, if somewhat stilted, English translation.

I was thinking the same thing Brad for awhile, but explain how this thing showed up on the west coast of Florida? Someone dropped this in the Gulf and let it go. It would not float from the Netherlands to Sarasota. Geographically its almost impossible.

^Trust me when I say that LEGOLAND's marketing and PR team do not have the funds or time to make that happen. And if they did, they would totally take credit for it.
