A Unicef advertisement seeking to raise money for programs to aid former child soldiers in Africa has sparked an uproar over the possibility that it's depiction of a miltary air raid on a Smurf village might traumatize European children that view it. Here's the story from the Boston Globe: Smurfocalypse now. And here's a picture of the aftermath of the raid. That is Baby Smurf with a broken rattle crying near the dead body of Smurfette. The full advert can be found here: Unicef Smurf Bombing Video. News reports that Gargamel was responsible for the sneak attack remain unconfirmed. Members of Congress are outraged by the massacre and vow to support without question whatever bellicose response President Bush advocates.

This video is news, I wonder if there's a "full link".

Edit: No, it's the whole thing.

Feh, you wanna talk about communist cartoons, let's talk Hamtaro.

"When we work together it looks better."

Innocuous enough. But who's the boss?

Thats right. "Boss" has a nice little red sickle on his helmet. "Oh, thats just his headlamp, and its perspective" you say, then how come no matter which angle they draw him from, theres still a pretty little red moon/sickle on his little helmet, hmmm?

Goddamn commie pinko hamsters.

Thanks nes.
