War is hell - ask the Smurfs ...

The BBC has just covered a story about Unicef's new Belgian ad campaign - featuring smurfs.

Smurfs 'bombed' in UN ad campaign

There's even a link to an advert.

good, I hate the smurfs. Smurfs are dirty, fire is clean.

I think this merely combines with Gav's other post in to incite fundamentalist Christians to commit violence against smurfs. I cite Psalms 137: "Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!"

Gav, just let your hatred go. The smurfs are gentle, loving, social creatures. You no doubt have some scheme cooked up whereby a Scottish company cashes in on the potentially lucrative market for those huge mushrooms that they use as houses. Just remembe the "Smurf - Human Accord of 1982" prohibits any encroachment on their habitates.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this Ess but, smurfs were introduced into Scotland from their native belgium into habitats where their natural predators were absent. As such they have been able to breed unchecked and their numbers now threaten the local wild Haggis estates.

Jimmy Mctavish (local gamekeeper) explains: "There isn't anythin mair upsettin than to see whit the wee bastards dae to ma Haggis. Yous havnae seen onythin till ye've seen a perfectly guid haggis hill riddled w' pesky blue-folk and their unsoond wee mushroom hooses. A gas 'em - it's a kind way tae go.

Those auld yins, wi' the beards, is creepy."

Nuff said.

Gav, would it be possible for you to type in your native dialect more often?

EDIT: Not that I'm saying Scottish accents are funny or anything.

Hefty Smurf, spokesperson for the SMURFs, the Smurf Multilateral Unity and Rebellion Front (hey they're small and blue, how creative do you expect them to be?) - long considered a militant arm of the Federation of United Schtroumpf and Snorks (FUSS) had this to say at a press conference yesterday:

Quote:
If McTavish is smurfin for a smurf, he'll smurf one, by Smurf! He'll soon smurf that we're more than smurf enough to smurf. We'll smurf him and his smurfin family. Him and his smurfin smurf haggis can go smurf themselves. Don't smurf with the Smurfs! Papa Smurf be praised! He shall smurf the Earth of smurfs and smurfers through us his faithful Smurfs!

My girlfriend and I saw the ad while we were drinking at a local sushi bar. We both stopped to re-evaulate how much we had been drinking thus far.

I hate people who justify using fear tactics to scare people into doing something, whether or not it is a good cause.

Also, this ad is stupid. It's not even shocking, it's just wtf...
