UNICEF Kills the Smurfs. This is not a parody. This is a 2005 Belgian television commercial and a fully authorized use of the Smurfs for political purposes. It's freaking brilliant.

The final frame says (in Dutch, I think), "Don't let war affect the lives of children." "Don't let war destroy the children's world." (translation courtesy of Wikipedia [livejournal.com profile] woodface).

I think the blue smears of wounded Smurf have permanently traumatized me.

Brilliant concept, though.

Poor Baby Smurf will grow up and become a weekend warrior and star in a bad action movie as "Rambo Smurf."

Actually it says "Don't let war destroy the children's world" if you want to be all literal. *looks cute*

I seem to remember seeing a print ad for that online somewhere - I hadn't realized it was also a tv commercial. Way freakier that way.
