I saw this a while ago, but I thought it was a joke. It turns out it is real. UNICEF has created a TV ad showing the Smurfs getting annhialated.
The video is peacefully introduced by birds, butterflies and happy Smurfs playing and singing their theme song when suddenly out of the sky, bombs rain down onto their forest village, scattering Papa Smurf and the rest as their houses are set ablaze.
This video is supposed to impress upon adults that war is bad and affects children. Wow, thanks Unicef- until I saw Smurfette blow to smitherenes I was thinking that war was awesome and something every kid should experience. Next quarter they will release a video of My Little Pony being mowed down by machine guns to show that poaching is bad - right after they show a video of GEM getting beaten and violated to show that gang rape is a bad thing.
It took me forever to find a place that actually has the video of this - but you can watch the full unedited video of the Smurfs at CBS News.com. The video is in the sidebar.
