Giant Minion Wreaks Havoc on Dublin

The local government isn't laughing.

Motorists on a busy Dublin, Ireland street encountered a rather surprising roadblock on Monday: a giant, 40-foot inflatable minion.

The Irish Times reports that the huge promotional balloon became detached from its mooring at a nearby fairground during a gust of wind and then landed in the middle of bustling Swords Road.

While it may seem like an amusing and fairly harmless accident, the local City Council is not laughing:

“I don’t want to sound like a killjoy, but if that had landed on a cyclist, for instance, it could have been serious,” said Councilor Paul McAuliffe.
