Smurfageddon - Weapons of Mass Smurfruction

There is a new UNICEF ad that will be shown in Belgium. That's where little blue friends are from. Peyo was the creator of course. The Smurf website's featuring the news of the advert as well.

~La la lala la la la la la la la~

It's a plea by UNICEF not to allow wars to destroy the children's world. To see Smurfette lying moribund facing downwards is indeed traumatic. And to have Baby Smurf in the middle crying it's little heart out can be really heart-tugging.


Here you see Smurfette (on the mid-left) with one of her heels dropped off and Baby Smurf's gut-wrenching cry....the background showing the Smurf Village being carpet-bombed

A pity it is not planned for a wider release. Singaporeans my age or my generation will definitely know what smurfs are. Along with Gargemel and Azrael.

I always thought scenes where Smurfette fusses over what to wear as she stands in front of her opened cupboard were funny. All her clothes looked the same. Actually, they are the same. It's a little like Ronald McDonald choosing the right clothes or boots.

One day you might have The Simpsons advocating alternative energy source


or Sesame Street advertising for PETA.


By the way, there's this great wiki on the smurfs being communists.

Smurfs actually is an acronym for Soviet/Socialist Men Under Red Father or so it is rumoured.
