A 40ft inflatable Minion from the 'Despicable Me' franchise caused havoc on an Irish road on Monday when it flew away from a local fairground and landed on a busy street.
Locals in Santry, near Dublin, swiftly realised this was only part of the small yellow invaders' plans to dominate the Earth and enslave humanity.
Cllr Paul McAuliffe said: "I don’t want to sound like a killjoy, but if that had landed on a cyclist, for instance, it could have been serious. If you take the Minion part of it out, if this was a large inflatable weather balloon that had not been properly tethered, there would be no humour in this story at all."

Luckily the Gardaí managed to quell the Minion's plan by lifting it off the road and quickly deflating it, putting off their invasion for another day.
Despite this small victory for planet Earth, the tiny yellow creatures continue to penetrate our society in small ways many may not even notice.
