This is so wrong I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

(May have to cut'n'paste that --it's all one link.)

Apparently they're trying to raise funds for ex child soldiers.

Quote:

The people of Belgium have been left reeling by the first adult-only episode of the Smurfs, in which the blue-skinned cartoon characters' village is annihilated by warplanes.

The short but chilling film is the work of Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund, and is to be broadcast on national television next week as a campaign advertisement.



Quote:

Philippe Henon, a spokesman for Unicef Belgium, said his agency had set out to shock, after concluding that traditional images of suffering in Third World war zones had lost their power to move television viewers. "It's controversial," he said. "We have never done something like this before but we've learned over the years that the reaction to the more normal type of campaign is very limited."


I could not make this up.

We all know Cobra put an Anti-Aircraft site near the Smurf’s Village, and that’s what GI Joe bombed. This is all Cobra propaganda!!

People are being bombed? Where? I didn't hear anything on the news about that ! Are you sure you're just not being silly?
