Very Strange.

One of the strangest ad campaign ever.

quote:
The video is peacefully introduced by birds, butterflies and happy Smurfs playing and singing their theme song when suddenly out of the sky, bombs rain down onto their forest village, scattering Papa Smurf and the rest as their houses are set ablaze.

The bombs kill Smurfette leaving Baby Smurf orphaned and crying at the edge of a crater in the last scene of the video and finishing of with the text "don't let war destroy the children's world."

So much like my dreams, it's scary.

I've searched everywhere without finding a video clip, not even UNICEF themselves have it on their crappy webpage. What fucks?

Is it supposed to be a series of stills to audio, or has something gone horribly wrong on my end?

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

I can't really vouch for it, as I didn't download it.

No, it's probably just like that so that people who use dial up (laughs) can watch it.

Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :

That's definately not the Smurfs.

Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :

It doesn't start until 0:39 secs but that is a very low framerate. Still, you get the idea.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

"Very low framerate" being defined here as about one frame per four seconds.

But it is consistent! The internet needs consistency.
