Friday Focus - The Luck of the Irish

With St. Patrick's day coming up this weekend, I wanted to take a look at how people are talking about St. Patty's day on social media... and take a trip down memory lane Crichton Leprechaun.

The folks at Lab42 created an infograph from their research into what people were saying about the holiday through social media.

**UPDATE - our favorite auto-tuners have autotuned the Mobile Leprechaun video - find the original at the bottom of the page  



First UP
What do people call it? Notice I referred to it by both names a little earlier

St. Patrick's Day it is!


Now, how do you participate?


94% of us will at least be wearing green - and at least nobody polled hates the holiday.  
No SAD for St. Patrick's Day!  Though that may be attributed to the drinking... 



What are some of the things you associate with St. Patrick's Day?
The color green, shamrocks, an amateur sketch of an actual leprechaun. 
Wait, what? - more on that later.

OK as promised here's the video that started it all - the famous Alabama Leprechaun.
Local legend began to spread about a Leprechaun living in a tree so a local news team investigated.  Over 20 million views later, the legend only grows.


Enjoy the weekend, be safe, watch out for Leprechauns and be sure to wear your green!
