How cool to see smurfs at the White House!

[bwalters]

Hi Gerta; I finally found it I did see Papa Smurf in the crowd but before that I saw Smurfette and a Smurf all by themselve. Its under the one video that says ECO friendly egg roll. It took me forever to find it.

These other two are off the Easter egg roll at the white house, but i must say I cant really see Papa there, or am I over looking it?

There are some photos on flickr of the smurfs at the White House. The costumes look so soft that I want to huge them!

[SmurfingH]

Oh they're cute!

[bwalters]

Hey Arnheim Smurf; You can only see Papa in the first video with Smurfette and Smurf at the begining. He is in the back right of the video. OH look you can see his hand. If you didn't know Papa Smurf you wouldn't be able to pick him out. I don't see him in the other two videos either. Now the pic is a diffrent story.

maybe i'm just reading to much into this but I forsee lots of smurfy things happening this year now that the smurfs got such advertisment. It takes alot to be at the white house and I can't see them putting the smurfs there as a let's see what happens. Maybe us buying up all the smurf stock at the local stores gave them a good push
or it can all just be wishfull thinking on my part

[bwalters]

Hi Gerda; I don't think you are reading too much. I already said that if the people that decide if they need to put out more stuff were in your town, Moey's, Staci's. or mine. That they would come out with tons of stuff. When the items they place on the shelves is only there for a few minutes or hours someone has to take notice. I have two walmarts in my town and neither of them had a full shelf for more than a few hours. The one girl where I bought the second 6 playsets I'm sure was just breaking down the box they came in when I took everything she had just put out. All the box said was toys but as I was walking toward the isle she had just came out of it with a couple of empty boxes. You should have seen the look on here face when I took all the Smurfs.

. You should have seen the look on here face when I took all the Smurfs.

I can just imagine, they should just ship them straight to our houses and get rid of the middle man I have enough walmart trucks that drive by, it would take nothing for him to stop and unload all the smurfs and continue on his way.
