Looks like Adult Swim has started region blocking, see:

I used to think that replacing curse words with "Smurf" was funny when I was 6. It's not funny anymore.


Well Smurf you then!

I always wondered that myself. What if he was wrong? and Smurfs didn't taste as good as he imagined?

BTW, where did he originally get the idea to eat the smurfs in the first place?

This is, very loosely, weather-related.

Parody of Katrina, anyway.

Alright, had the movies told us to be alpha males/females (beings, if you will) then that would still account for about zero to one percent of gender role and body perception views if you ask me. There are lots of ways to raise ones child/children without them growing up to be either a Gaston, a Milton (see Office Space), or a suicidal emo goth person. Key here is communication, talking to the kids and not overanalyzing.
The kind of stories Disney portray in their movies are classical tales of heroes, and as we all know the story would be painfully boring for children to watch if the hero was Milton Waddams (Office Space) going to work in the office basement, battling hordes of Mongol marauders or even a hydra, or whatever else Disney has to throw at him. Actually, as a parent I'd be more concerned that my children would get a distorted view of modern day Englishmen from watching Pokahontas than I'd be of them becoming brawling alphamales from watching The Lion King.
Point is that YES, Disney films would be bad for kids if that's the ONLY interaction with the world they got. However, that's not a realistic scenario.

As for acceptance, I think that was the whole point of the Beauty and the Beast. Showing kids that a beautiful girl can fall in love with a monster instead of the buff alpha man-hulk goes a long way in showing acceptance, especially taking into consideration the backstory to the Beast becoming what he was.

My main gripe with this video is how it spins the reality of the movies, blatantly ignoring the obvious messages of them aswell as taking scenes out of context and adding their own to the scenes they've taken out. I can garantuee you that no kid in the world would see any Disney movie (neither consciously nor subconsciously) in the way shown in this video.
This is a fear monger's wet dream, much like saying that reading Donald Duck would promote indecency because he's not wearing any pants, or how showing kids the Smurfs will indoctrinate them into becoming communists.
In the end, I think that grownups see alot of things in cartoons that kids don't. And even if you see something in a comic that you don't agree with, shielding ones children by not letting them watch it won't protect them. All it will most likely do is truly give them a distorted world view in believing these issues does not exist. Key here, as I'd like to point out, is talking to ones kids about it.

As a closing note I'd also like to say that one of my very favourite films to date is the animated (in those days called cartoon) movie "Wizards". A highly destructive film for children to watch by today's standards. In all fairness it's not really a films for younglings, which needs to be said in hopes for me to not get misinterpreted.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot ...

(and so much for my crappy prediction - YouTube has so been replaced)

Smurf's up dude!

Finally proof that Papa Smurf does exist!

just beat me to it

Heh! I may only have been a 'smurf' (and a 4&out, at Hickam!) but I knew well enough, that you'd think that, too. Affirmative, MG. m15 out.

> but when I read "gunny" (which is short for Gunrock, I know) I think Gunnery Sergeant. You can just call me MG

*smurf... I mean *promote

The main villain's dubbed voice is the voice of Papa Smurf! Listen!

I'm not so sure about the fun of naming them all when they had their names at some point during those great 80's songs! Where the F*** was the Smurfs?!

Purple Smurfs = islam.
