Unicef bombs the Smurfs in fund-raising campaign for ex-child soldiers (http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/08/wsmurf08.xml)
Now that the laughter's out of the system, a little more serious discussion. The goal and purposes of the cartoon is well-intended but honestly, will showing the Smurfs getting the shit bombed out of them going to instill anything besides laughter and cheers in the average American people? I mean I honestly can't look at the picture without giggling and laughing myself.

Die Smurfs, DIE!
9 PM watershed? Wimps. In the US we’d show that commercial any time any place. Sure, you won’t ever see a naked body on anything but HBO or Cinimax, but violence, all the fucking time, especially in cartoons

Why can't they show a link to the video. It would be fun to watch.

It's not aimed at Americans. It'd be like... suicide bombing the muppets.

Yeah, but the children aren't raised on them.
The Muppets weren't a great example. It'd be more like shooting Mr. Rogers.

Yeah! I never trusted that sweater-wearing freakshow anyway. He was just too creepy.

Or for the proper shock and dismay the Smurf ad was meant to deliver, setting off a fertilizer bomb on Sesame Street... right under Oscar's trash can.

Hasen't this thing been posted at least a half a dozen times this weekend?

My sister-in-law stayed over at his house when she was a teenager (didn't know her new friend was Mr. Rogers' daughter, she didn't mention anything) and he didn't know she was in his house.
To make a long story short, she walked in on poor Mr. Rogers while he was making omelettes in the nude.
Oops.

I remember a Commodore Game where you were Gargamel trying to catch and eat Smurfs. Good game. It really is hard to Sympathize with those little blue bastards. I can imagine Brainy Smurf getting booted out of the village one too many times and snapping. His face was completely blank, he showed up just as greedy was serving smurfberry pie. He had an M-16. He shot hefty first, then jokie, then Papa. He just kept shooting. There wasn’t a single Smurf in the village who could shoot back. They were all dead, all dead, all but me. I reloaded and got jokies packages, then I went looking for the Snorks…

Reminds me of the Robot Chicken episode with Se7en done using the Smurfs, the bit in the article about wailing children who saw it my accident also brings a guilty smirk.

I think they'd be baffled by the concept of multiple females. There's no precedent for it in their society, after all.

That's why they hate our freedoms.

...the switching of tense, and of person, as if this really happened... is quite frankly terrifying. You are not Brainy Smurf, Yeru, and you did not gun down the Smurf village. It was all in your imagination. Get help.
