Anyone remember the UNICEF barfer about the bombed Smurf village? Hope you had a good laugh because you paid for it.

Global warming, pagan godesses, humanized animals, Throw in a little herb and its the perfect bedtime story!
Well, isn't that special.
"A polar bear moans that he is starving,..."
And yet, there are more bears now than anytime in the past 50 years.
If Mars had more efficient trains and buses, it wouldn't be experiencing so much warming.
The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin, gettin' kind of warm so we might as well swim.
The U.S. needs to kick the U.N. out of New York. If the U.N. were in Africa or India the delegates could get a better perspective on the world's problems.
Seems there is a full court press this week for Global WarmingTM stories in the MSM, as night after night, day after day, we get pestered by these MSM rodents and their slavemasters, the DNC
This might interest you.
Is there anything in the book about the education system failing him? I mean, shouldn't one learn about thin ice and thick ice in school? Also, anything in it about all the money people will save since they won't need to buy winter clothes?
Tore and all his people have a job in the refinery.
Nobody has to listen to the imaginary voices of animals for wisdom anymore.
Tore has a truck and a house and might race his dogs in the Iditarod next year.
Just for fun.
OK, I'm dreaming here.....
If they were so concerned about global warming, wouldn't the little eskimo be dressed in an izod short sleeve polo?
The United Nations has ventured into children’s publishing...

Since I actually LIVE with Eskimoan people (mostly Yup'ik, Chup'ik, and Inupiaq) I can say with certainty that the book as outlined is bullsh**.
Arctic people in North America use fossil fuel and modern technology as much as anyone else on the continent, excluding Amish and Mennonites. They drive snowmachines which exude huge clouds of exhaust, unless they have newer 4-stroke models; the boats are equipped with 110-horsepower Yamaha and Mercury motors; homes are usually heated with diesel fuel; and the kids, whom I teach, are fully technological with IPods, CD players, MySpace accounts, and the ubiquitous PlayStation or XBox. Those who live in smaller villages don't have cars because there are few roads; those of us in the larger towns all drive cars. It is true we do hunt - with rifles, scopes, a GPS to guide us, and a freezer to store the food.
The book, at least as presented here, is the high point of demeaning racism. Arctic people are some kind of hunter-gatherer remnant living, no doubt, "in harmony" with nature while worshipping the "old ways." The fact is that there are more pagans among the Americans and Canadians who have moved there in the past few decades than there are among indigenous people. In our village, most of the Native people go to the Catholic church. Sorry, no nature goddesses. Only a bigot could look at a modern Native person and imagine that they are some mystical nature-worshipping ur-human.
Thanks for letting me rant. Nothing pisses me off more than liberal racism. It reminds me of what I've read about the attitudes of southern whites during Jim Crow - "those blacks are simple people." Eskimos deserve a lot more respect than they're getting from this book.
