Smurfzis

Well, is this really a surprise? The Smurfs are just a color-conscious bunch of master-race wannabes:

Their society is "an archetype of a totalitarian utopia," containing characteristics of Stalinism and Nazism, according to Buéno. Even grandfatherly Papa Smurf, the clan's trusted leader, can't escape suspicion. His white beard inspires comparisons to Josef Stalin or Karl Marx. His tendency to dress in red clothing (other Smurfs wear white) doesn't help his case, either.

Makes this seem like justice, eh?



I can hardly wait for the war crimes trials. Let's see how eager the Belgians are to seek justice for their own creations.

UPDATE: Thanks to Mad Minerva for the hat tip.
