So Papa Smurf Was Actually...

[ECM]

...a prison guard at Bergen-Belsen:

Don't be fooled by their cute, innocent blue exterior and their sunny demeanour.

The Smurfs are actually out and out Nazis and Stalinists - well at least if French sociologist Antoine Buéno is to be believed.

In his book, Le Petit Livre Bleu - The Little Blue Book - Buéno said that the tribe of little blue creatures are 'steeped in Stalinism and Nazism' and that their leader Papa Smurf, 'shows very authoritarian and paternalistic characteristics'.

So "Smurf Heil", then??

It probably goes without saying that being a blowhard and over-examining pop culture isn't strictly relegated to American idiots, but it is nice to be reminded every now and then.

Vive le France.

Wait, who said we were talking about Smithee??

[kog3100edw]

Now that's just mean.
And I thought you were pretty protective of Smithee!

I just like giving him shit about his lit crit proclivities, something that drives me utterly insane.

I'm the best.
