Or if I should be ROTFLMAO:

The people of Belgium have been left reeling by the first adult-only episode of the Smurfs, in which the blue-skinned cartoon characters' village is annihilated by warplanes.

"I smurf the smell of smurf in the morning."

The short but chilling film is the work of Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund, and is to be broadcast on national television next week as a campaign advertisement.

The animation was approved by the family of the Smurfs' late creator, "Peyo".

(Like KSA, I got bored with the dots.)

It is intended as the keystone of a fund-raising drive by Unicef's Belgian arm, to raise £70,000 for the rehabilitation of former child soldiers in Burundi.

Well, sure; that makes perfect sense...

Philippe Henon, a spokesman for Unicef Belgium, said his agency had set out to shock, after concluding that traditional images of suffering in Third World war zones had lost their power to move television viewers.

So they try decimating animated characters whos' popularity is questionable at best?

Belgium prides itself on being the home of some of the world's most famous cartoon characters-

Name three.

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

Yeah, that's going too far. I'm not nearly that twisted.

The film has won tentative approval from the official Smurf fan club. A spokesman said: "I think it will wake up some people. It is so un-Smurf-like, it might get people to think."

About what? "War is bad"? No shit. Maybe you UNdies should get off your collective asses and DO SOMETHING instead of taking bribes and racking up parking tickets.

"It really makes you think." No more vapid words have ever been spoken.

The video isn't online yet; but the story has a still:

Yeah, I'm disgusted. Like I said, there's funny, and there's sick. This crosses the line.

How much of a donation would it take to get them to kill Barney next?
