#1 All I have to say is this:

It will do nothing to help former child soldiers in Burundi when "Generation Y" (or whatever) is too busy laughing at watching the Smurfs get pwned and saying stuff like "Gargamel is HARDCORE".

I would know. ;)

#2 When are they doing the kiddie porn version? You know, for the UN "insiders"?

#3 Didn't have enough old Pathe film available of Belgium refugees being strafed and bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1940? Why use cartoon characters when you have the real stuff?

#4 How about putting this photo up along side the smurf? The League of Nations/UN did a good job of stopping that slaughter too. Message - don't expect the UN to save your butt!

#5 Baby Smurf is left crying and orphaned as the Smurf's village is carpet bombed by warplanes...

It would take a man with a heart of stone not to laugh at that.

UNICEF traditionally uses real life images of playing and laughing children but decided to change it for something that would shock people...

It sounds as if compassion fatigue is setting in.

#7 I thought donor fatigue had already set in by the nineties?

Oh, and Whain, I thought that was a Chinese orphan in World War II before the UN. Bit of a non sequitur to say the least.

#8 Oh, and Whain, I thought that was a Chinese orphan in World War II before the UN. Bit of a non sequitur to say the least.

And yet that's exactly the image they used as the basis for the final scene in their cartoon.

#9 Yee,

The UN is the successor to the League. It assumed its property in Geneva and existing mandates. It is the heir in all its abject failure as well.

#12 Anonymoose, http://media.putfile.com/end_of_smurfs

Robert Crawford and Whain, thanks for the explanation, I did not make the connection until just now after reading your replies.

#14 FLASH-UNICEF-LOSERS ! The UN needs to own up to the fact that it is a lost cause if it needs to kill smurfs to get their message across. They should not have wasted all their credibility on making a select few rich over the Iraq sanctions...I hope Bolton helps clean that place up.

#15 This is about the level of competence associated with most UN peacekeeping actions of the last 20 years. I'm surprised the UN propagandists didn't put US markings on the bombs. UNICEF has been a scam for a long time.
