Flipping heck! That's a bit much really! :eek:

I'm not sure the intended message comes accross very well... not the original one by the sounds of things...

As far as shocking everyone, they have certainly done that!

I hate that video and the pictures!! That's just awful!!!!! :lalala:
My heart is crying when the baby smurf starts to cry. :(
How could Peyo ever give licence to this!!? It's a good cause I know, but the message.... :knackered:

The publicity they've got from this is enormous though.

Still I don't get it. It's like destroying Donald Duck and the whole Duckcity!

You're right about getting the message through. Many generations watch the smurfs and are affected by this. My opinion is still that it's too cruel. Has anyone thought how this affects the children? They don't understand UNIFEF and it's works. :juggle:

Well my husband clapped and cheered when he saw them being blown up, he is so nasty. :angry:

I think that as long as people keep to the 9pm watershed rules then there is no reason for kids to see it. Personally I think it is a reminder to us all that kids are having to grow up too quickly.

I've written a page about it here

http://www.kittyscavern.com/unicef-smurfs-video.htm

I like the fact that it reminds us of the very basic human (smurfy) values of the smurfs. It's distressing but personally it's made me think much further than the message about war.
