Around Azeroth: Philanthropic Gnomes
Submitter Dianne writes, "This was taken on Oct. 8 during the Seed Pink Gnome Run for the Cure on Scarlet Crusade. My guildies and I attended and it was awesome. I have never seen so many gnomes! We ran all the way to Ironforge and then took the tram to Stormwind. From there we ran to Booty Bay in a giant mass of pink. The organizers of this fun event deserve some applause, because it was a great idea and drew a big crowd and hopefully got a lot of donations and attention."

Scarlet Crusade? More like Scarlet Cure-sade! Amirite?

I was there, as Jiveturkie. It was a lot of fun despite the idiot trolls that showed up to disrupt things.
The best part was when we raided Org afterwards. And by "raid" I mean corpse hopped to the throne room to /hug Garrosh.

What wasn't said was a lot of us then stormed Orgrimmar. On level 10 or below pink-haired Gnomes. My husband death-hopped in so far he licked Garrosh Hellscream before getting obliterated by Gorehowl....

There were so many gnomes at the end that I had 2 fps while trying to take that pic. I have no idea which gnome was even me. XD
It was really fun though. I'm glad y'all posted it. ^^
(Kar is one of my guildies and her pics are better than mine. )

I put "Forge Camp Sunshine" in there, but of course it was surrounded by carrots. :x

I play on Scarlet Crusade. I must say that I found all of that lag extremely annoying. Nice gesture, but it makes the game rough to play.
Maybe next time they can do race for the cure to Exodar.

I'm so stoked this event has gotten the coverage it has, and I'm so glad that our guild (House of the Valar on Icecrown) got to co-host with SeeD!! I took a TON of screenshots and have put them in a photo bucket album. I even included the ones my computer didn't take properly which led to photos of floating pink hair running around Azeroth!!!! Nothing was photoshopped so enjoy the shenanigans. :)
