So, to make the message about not letting war effect children, UNICEF belguim made a commerical bombing the smurfs. So uh...I'm not sure what to think of this. Sure the message of the commerical is good, but wasn't there a better way to do this?

The stunning thing is that they were given PERMISSION to do this.

The bastards killed Smurfette. They need to die.

(Reasoning: By killing her, you pretty much doomed them to extinction. She's the only girl.)

Aww, poor smurfs are no more

That's..odd though. Killing smurfs? What about the children? But then it is to ex-child soldiers..

Mwhaha..even though it showed the Smurfs being bombed it reminded me of something from funnyjunk.com XD

i like how shiz put it.
"
Unisef is a sick organization who will go to any lengths to get money. It's enough that they push the unisef boxes on children through school teachers; Now they want to blow up to smurfs to make children cry.
"
anyways, they're fuckers. especially for this.

Julie Lamoureux, account director at Publicis for the campaign, said the agency's original plans were toned down.

"We wanted something that was real war - Smurfs losing arms, or a Smurf losing a head -but they said no."

You guys are taking this completely the wrong way. Thanks to UNICEF, children around the world are given education, are being shielded from a life in war, prostitution, sweatshops, or the likes, are being vaccinated and cured of diseases. Sure, UNICEF hasn't handled every crisis situation in the optimal way, but what organization has ever done that?

And the commercial is only sent at night, to make it so that as few children as possible see it. Besides, I think the commercial is good, and to the point. UNICEF is trying to bring attention to the fact that many children, around the world, are experiencing the cruelties of war every day, what better way to do it than to have a typical children's programme being bombarded? Using children soldiers is pretty sick, and, it is against international law.

It's enough that they push the unisef boxes on children through school teachers
Yeah, you poor thing. I mean, we can all agree that you getting craploads of candy on Halloween is a lot, lot more important than children around the world getting their basic needs such as water, food, safety, and good health.

Obviously this is intended to be seen by adults that force children to go to the war, otherwise it's too shocking for any children to see that. Surely they'll use the same strategy with another cartoons or even anime that are popular for children in another countries if they want.

SomerZ: Oh, I think the message being sent is good but it's just one of those WTF things. They could have done a lot of other things that would still convey the message effectively without being so harsh.

I'm expecting parodies of this to be done on YTMND. And well...

I kinda like it, since it should ring a bell in a few people's minds. If similar commercials was aired in US...

There is a commercial with a much similar message, but a lot less radical way of showing it, here in Norway. A newspaper commercial that starts with the silhouette of a boy running around chasing a butterfly. You can hear children's laughter in the background. After a while, he runs into a newspaper-shaped box, and the butterfly flies away, as all we see is his back. He then turns around, and suddenly he holds an AK-47. The image freezes and turns into a newspaper frontpage.

Of course, I think the main message of the commercial is "our newspaper bring you the most shocking stories, buy it!" or something, but it still has the whole innocent-children-cum-war element in it.

You're all taking this waaaaay too serious.
So what if they bomb the smurfs? I don't mind, and they're only showing it after 9PM. Plus I think it's a great idea.

So where in my post did I state that everyone has to agree with me? I just posted my opinion, wich is that most everyone is crying over something they don't even fully understand.
