![Travelocity Gnome Moonlights on Chatroulette [PICS]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/049JXhy9iiN4PKiyDYDkQVG/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647018511.jpg)
The screenshots sent to us by Travelocity confirm that the gnome is lurking within Chatroulette's mysterious corridors. His presence there is to motivate video chatters to step away from their webcams and take vacations.
According to Adweek, "The idea is that folks sitting around video-chatting with strangers could use the excitement of travel."
The iconic gnome gets his point across with signs (see below) with messages like, "This would be more fun if we were in Rio." Of course, the gnome isn't too keen on the penises, and a staffer behind-the-scenes will next those with inappropriate content.
When asked about whether or not the company is tracking activity or offering special promotions, Travelocity representative Joel Frey told us, "We're still experimenting so we haven't applied any measurements just yet. Once we figure out how we'll move forward we will think about other applications like deals and offers."
We tend to think Chatroulette is more than just penises, so it's interesting to see that companies like Travelocity are in agreement. What becomes of this experimental test run remains to be seen, but we think it's clever nonetheless.
