Smurfs...big blue hypocrites
So I'm sitting here at home sick today, I figured now would be a good time to get some posts done. Quite frankly I need the money from going to work, but what good is going to work when you're sneezing every other minute? Anyway..
Its amazing I think, how sometimes stuff just comes to mind out of the blue (good pun there, you'll see why.) I asked my friend while we were adventuring in City of Heroes if he ever thought ill of the Smurfs. Then I told him why I asked him that.
I seem to recall when I was younger, watching The Smurfs with my 2 older siblings, and we would express our disgust with the Smurfs. You see, there was at least one episode (perhaps more) where the Smurfs would find say, a cute little baby deer in peril due to some evil-looking wolf. Sure enough the Smurfs would rescue the cute deer and drive the wolf off. But what about that wolf? Did the Smurfs ever think of it? Maybe its a wolf with a hungry pack of pups back at the den. And now, due to the Smurfs' meddling, the pack will soon go hungry.
What reasoning do those blue goons have behind saving the deer? Is it cause its so cute and innocent? Well there's a nice message. Do they have some code of the forest they are fulfilling? Either way we found the Smurfs to be hypocritical. Here they are defending a creature of the forest by harming another one. And my friend laughed at my question, but agreed totally.
So there you have it. Those meddling Smurfs. Don't even get me started on the fact that they have a village of dozens of male smurfs and only one female smurfs. Oh and what the heck is "smurfing" anyway??
