The United Nations has plans to stamp out the Smurfs -- in the name of war awareness.
According to
E!, UNICEF has released a PSA featuring the Smurfs, being bombed by an unknown force, with the familiat Smurfs either dead or disappeared. Only Baby Smurf escapes alive, wailing.
The message -- "Don't let war affect the lives of children."
The PSA will be seen on TV channels in Europe (starting in Belgium), Latin America and Australia, with the stipulation that it cannot be seen until after 7PM local time (9PM in Belgium).
Unfortunately, the PSA will not be seen in the US or Canada, and forget seeing it on the internet -- conditions also include not uploading the PSA.
Good, this has been a long time coming. Those dirty smurfs are finally getting what they disserve.
Seriously though, what the fuck.

Yeah right! (btw, what's a PSA?)
I don't get it though. There's no war in the places they show it so why would war affect the lives of our children? Hmm, I'll probably catch it if its shown here so I'll know then.
Public Service Announcement. Probably an anti iraq war protest thing. And we'll see it on the internet. Someone will upload it.
Ha, I just saw it on the news and some guy was complaining about it destroying the fantasy world of children. Its just an overview of the smurf town and suddenly bombs start dropping down. What a waste of money.

On Robot Chicken (a show on Adult swim) they take the movie seven deadly sins and use smurfs in it. It is pretty damn funny. They use the word smurf for just aobut everything. Like ?Holy smurfing Smurf!? And ?Smurf off!? And ?(insert name of a smurf) smurf, has been smurfed.?
I won't say this add will fail, because I'm not sure anyone can really tell what it is supposed to accomplish. It is a way vague PSA, that lacks purpose. It is a big waste of money.

Just like most commercials and most things in general...
They should do one where South Park is bombed and the only one left is Kenny. It would make more sense that way. :p

I get the feeling it would only make people laugh that which would kill their purpose but who knows.

Seeing smurfs get bombed and them being serious about it would make me laugh my ass off.

Everything ends up on the internet.
Video here. Really tho, it was pretty disapointing. Maybe if the explosions looked more real and caused some arms and legs to go flying.
I can see it maybe disturbing older people who grew up with the Smurfs, but for most of the internet generation will probely offer nothing more than a yawn or giggle. After all, somewhere on the internet there probley exists fanfiction (erotic in nature, as all fanfiction is) of the smurfs at war with the carebears, preforming the most horrible and inhuman acts. Now that, is disturbing.

It was disappointing what a pity...
I thought it was halarious. Thanks for the vid.
