This is one of the most hideous things in the world: I have been harping about this very phenomenon for YEARS (like 10). I came across this website about 5 years ago, and was shocked that MY theory about the blatant Communist propaganda known as the “Smurfs” was being passed off as someone else’s theory. OK, the acronym for SMURF they came up with is pretty damn clever, and I never considered Vanity as the opressed homosexual, but Papa wearing red? MINE. Brainy the “intellectual” being perpetually persecuted? MINE. (Though I admit, I never thought about a resemblence to Trotsky) In addition, I noted that the Smurfs all lived in identical houses, had near identical styles of dress and yet each had their place in Smurfian society.
For another take on these insideous little blue menaces, go here. I’d also like to know why the Smurfs have a different name in every language. In German they are Die Schlumpfin (or something close to that), and the Croatian girl I worked with had a whole other name for them. Why the cultural secrecy? HMMMMM?
*to properly read this post, please make sure tongue is firmly implanted in cheek.
Actually, in the original comic book, he is called the Schtroumpf à lunettes (Smurf with glasses), there is nothing intellectual about him. He is an annoying holier-than-thou Smurf, with a large touch of the brown-noser.
Is this list taken from the original comic? Is it supposed to be an official compilation of all the smurfs that have appeared in it?
Not to worry. There is no way he will find out. As mean as he is with a lightsaber, he can’t surf The Net to save his green ass from being squashed by a free-falling Jabba The Hutt. ::SMURF!!!::
In any case, I’m gonna be writing the guys at smurf.com. Perhaps they will be gracious enough to provide my inquiring jedi mind with the official answer.
