I had a crush on smurfette when I was little. everyone knows that she was the "queen bee". papa smurf got nasty with her and that's how the smurf village came to be. I've also heard about smurfs having been drawn with a racist hand. all the smurfs are wearing white and papa smurf is wearing red--like the kkk. you know, when i think about it, smurfette never acted as I thought girls should--she seemed like kind of an afterthought. I remember having this feeling that she was just "thrown in" to have a girl smurf.

This reminds me of the Smurf discussion in Donnie Darko.

when i was a kid, i had a really hard time with how there was never any mention of using the restroom on masters of the universe. i didnt need to see it, maybe just a 'sorry im late, i had to use the restroom' kind of a line once in awhile. i bugged my mom about it all the time.

I felt that way about that movie "Eagle Eye". the idea of a all-knowing, all-seeing computer that can control EVERYTHING and has the ability to understand and manipulate people based on the information it can gather about their personalities--OK. but shia labeouf and the other chick don't take a crap the whole time?--I don't believe it. especially with all the scary stuff that happens to them. A little off topic--sorry. I was just smurfing around.

Gargamel created Smurfette as bait, and she was brunette and not as her current incarnation. Papa Smurf gave her a makeover when she 'reformed". The Smurfs were OK, but I couldn't stand the rip-offs that followed; Snorks, Trollkins, and the Wishniks.

I still collect Smurfs. My mom is Belgian and I'd get packages from my grandma when I was a kid. Once there was a bunch of small blue globs and she called them "Snuffs." The cartoon was OK, but I was already hooked before then. I also had a small hissy fit when the black smurfs were changed to purple so that no one would have a PC baby here in the States.

I remember when the Smurfs got bit by that fly and it made them evil and purple. And they hopped around going G-nop, G-nop and biting each others tails.

Yep. They turned black and did the tail biting. When the show was done for the US they changed them to purple. However, the toys are still black since the only ones made were released in Europe. GNAP! GNAP!

Kubrick released Black Smurf, along with others, a few years ago.

Awesome. G-nop! First time seeing the black ones. My Smurf experience was pretty much limited to the Saturday morning cartoon.
