Holy smurfing smurf!

Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund, will broadcast in Europe this week an anti-war commercial in which smurf village is annihilated by warplanes. The UK Telegraph offers this description:

The short film pulls no punches. It opens with the Smurfs dancing, hand-in-hand, around a campfire and singing the Smurf song. Bluebirds flutter past and rabbits gambol around their familiar village of mushroom- shaped houses until, without warning, bombs begin to rain from the sky.

Tiny Smurfs scatter and run in vain from the whistling bombs, before being felled by blast waves and fiery explosions. The final scene shows a scorched and tattered Baby Smurf sobbing inconsolably, surrounded by prone Smurfs.

Honestly, my support for the war in Iraq may have just gone up a touch. Ever since Smurfenstein I've been a big fan of massacring smurfs.
