You remember the Smurfs, don’t you? That staple of Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980s. Well, UNICEF produced a Smurf video in which they get carpet bombed!
Wait, this was a commercial against war? They don’t know much about American culture, do they? 
I just heard about this on NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.” Crazy stuff.
I guess Gargamel finally came up with a winning strategy.
I seem to have become unstuck in time.
Yeah - didn’t they do this a couple of years ago?
No dude, it is a couple of years ago.
Well, we snuck into the Magic Woods, we were in disguise, now,
We surrounded the village and took ‘em all by surprise, now,
And when the napalm hit, they were all little blue French fries, now,
And we had fun, fun, fun, blowin’ all the little Smurfers away.
– “Smurfin’ Safari,” by Tom Smith
The smurfs are tired of being persecuted. I heard they’re founding a Smurf Liberation Organization.
Smurfette is now employed as a “Comfort Woman”–as if there was a difference.
Charlie don’t smurf.
I reported the UNICEF Smurf attack when it originally happened two years ago. My coverage of the event made Threadspotting and lead to a lot of Smurf war jokes. Truly, war is smurf.
The Smurf Liberation Organization has taken Azrael hostage. If they don’t get 1 billion smurfy dollars by midnight tonight they will make him eat dogfood.
Further proof that extremism breeds extremism.
Is that a splinter group from the Smurf Liberation Army?
I thought it was the Smurf Liberation Front.
The SLA? Is that where they got Smurfette?
Ummm… this was made by UNICEF (United Nations) for broadcast in Belgium. I hate to burst your bubble, but the whole world does NOT revolve around the USA.
So the sight of “Smurfs” being blown up is really quite appropriate given the intended recipients of the fund raising. To say nothing of the fact it is Belgium and Africa, quite appropriate really.
Splitters!
Yes it does, and we’ll bomb the shit out of anyone who continues to think otherwise.
And you think those folks weren’t laughing as hysterically about it as we are? :dubious:
