Without this sounding like a prophecy and a previous experience on *e* at a certain festival that took place a bit further north of the above-mentioned clicky-thingy...the story is slightly different...

In smurf village..(R.I.P. my little blue friends :notworthy: )...the end was not fire! Wrong wrong wrong
The prophecy goes....the smurf-mafia had the likings of a little von dude that entered smurf village in the quest of revenge of the killings of his dog and no answer was good enough to von (he was p!ssed at the fact that his dog was dead) and he felt powerful enough to just destroy smurf village by growing as large as a giant and stomping on all the little mushroom houses and my little blue hero's ran and screamed for mercy...but no mercy was seen in von's hated eyes...that's the story that was told...in dutch .... and my honest english translation.

MB.... :( *I was a smurf-look-a-like at a school something, sometime ago*

Found it: clicky... Listen and watch the report for a bit, and the spot will come... (text at the end says: 'Don't let war destroy the world of children)

(anyone interested in the story -in Dutch- read this page clicky)

Unicef lauches shocking campaign (Tue Oct 04, 2005)

Unicef launches a campaign to denounce the faith of children in war territory by means of a shocking cartoon animation depicting a bombed Smurph-village.

The purpose of it all is to make clear how war and violence disrupts the life of children. "It is a shocking campaign, but maybe this will wake people up", quoth Unicef.

Foremost, attention will be drawn towards the children in Burundi. Twelve years of civilian war there caused over 20.000 deaths.

"The basic structures for social welfare have fallen away, confronting hundreds of thousands of children with disease and violence. There are thousands of child soldiers and stray children, hundreds of thousands of orphans and child laborers, and so on", says Barbara Jamar of Unicef Burundi.

With the campaign, Unicef wants to raise money for a project concerning the Burundi children.

And in the square below the article:

"The numbers are stunning: since 1990, two million children died during armed conflicts, 20 million children are permanently on the run, and the last ten years 6 million children got severely injured or maimed."

IZ.

You know, I totally see what they're trying to do, but the fact is I just can't watch it without laughing. Which kind of defeats the purpose.

I was always secretly rooting for Gargamel anyway.

That depends on you. Say you were going to be stranded on a desert island, and you could only take a lifetime supply of one thing with you. Would you choose Twinkies or Jesus?

Consider carefully: neither one has any nutritional value.

Jesus, being a carpenter by trade, could at least build you a nice little hut.

And you only need a couple of nails to put him up for the night.
