We had to destroy the Smurf village in order to save it.

Here's a poser for you: you're trying to knock together a TV ad highlighting the effects of war on children. What's the plan?
Well, you could go down the traditional route of earnest voice-over accompanying footage of said kids miserably awaiting a better life or, on the other hand, you could arm up a squadron of attack aircraft and go and raze a Smurf village to the ground. Let's face it, it's a toughie.
Not for Unicef Belgium though, which earlier this week reduced an enchanted Smurf hamlet to smouldering rubble - much to the horror of some TV viewers across the Channel - when it aired a 25-second burst of animated warnography on the country's TV screens.

I never trusted that Papa Smurf. He was always hidin' somethin'

Same subject, different article and source: Unicef bombs the Smurfs

George Bush doesn't like blue people.
Death to the Smurfs ! /sarcasm
This must be the new "trick or treat" for UNICEF.
Papa Smurf link needed here! LMFAO!
Weren't the Smurfs all communists anyway?
Of course, the Smurfs are a Belgian invention, first appearing in comic form in 1958. This might explain the horrified reaction over there. We reckon, on the other hand, that if the Smurf apocalypse TV ad were shown in Britain, Blair and Bush's approval rating for military action abroad would treble in a flash among adults more than willing to support any initiative which involves dropping munitions on Smurfs.

No, they were homos, not pinkos.
And what would the point of THAT be?
Isn't it enough to say, "Not good?"
I'd certainly concede the "not good" argument.
I have been searching around a little, but haven't found a download yet.
I never really paid attention to the Smurfs, too old for these cartoons by the time they were popular, so I dont have strong feelings about leveling their village.
Now, Barney the dinosaur is another story altogether.......
Umm... but, seriously folks... shall this not be exhibit A of "Why the USA should not fund the UN-SSR"?
"No, they were homos, not pinkos."
What do you expect when their entire race only had one female.
Papa Smurf always came across as a Pedophile to me.
“Drop the Bomb. Exterminate them all.”
Smurf-tastic!
