"VMS Records wants stolen yard gnomes… we are urging people to do a couple things for us… go to a neighbors yard, steal a yard gnome or two, and send us the gnomes with the address of the original owner… we will take the gnomes with us where ever we go and take pictures of them in different places… we will also try to get the gnomes on tour with some bands and have the bands do the same thing… we will send the doubles to the original owners… we will give undecided prizes to yard gnome thieves… now go get 'em!!! (Details at vmsrecords.com)" A weird promotion to say the least. Just for the record, Punknews.org (or at least Aubin) believes that garden gnomes are creepy, and should be illegal. Nevertheless, we don't approve of stealing; like you're going to listen to us anyway.
