The Gnomesville Massacre

Oh, the humanity:

It's being called the "Gnomesville Massacre" and emergency workers in Western Australia are offering a reward for the capture of vandals who smashed their way through a local tourist attraction.

An unknown number of attackers lopped off the heads or smashed several dozen of the pot-bellied statues this week at Gnomesville, a collection of more than a 1,000 colourful characters deep in a forest south of Perth.

These despicable vandals are playing with fire; they risk arousing the ire of the Gnome Army.
