I'm sick and tired of the unilateral representation of life on the Smurf's. What we always saw was only the Smurf's perspective of what was happening in their village. Gargamel was depicted as the worthy advesary of these apparent cute, innocent creatures. But let's look at the facts...

1) There are blue f'ng mutants living in the guy's hometown and all he is trying to do is rid himself of these nuisance pests. They are everywhere like nutria. Why is a man chided for trying to elmintate aliens? Hell, every movie I've ever seen in Hollywood would make this guy out to be the hero. I know if I saw some blue midget in my house wearing a kerchief, I'd be trying everything in my power to eliminate the rodent....even if I had to buy a cat. Hence, Azrael.

2) Gargamel was under the belief that Smurf's could be boiled into gold. Holy sht! That doesnt seem like a bad deal right now. The guy was just like an old 49er..a prospector. If he were just left alone to do his thing and not be condemned for his capitalist endeavor, he may be the richest man alive today or at least have left a formidable estate.

Gargamel, I like the guy. Gargamel.

Gargamel created smurfs like Smurfette just to frick with the other smurfs. He has a psychopathic obsession with ruining their shite.

There's this: LINK

And this:

To support this fact.

The second link, especially, reveals the true nature of the Smurfs.

The co-op seems to work for the Smurfs. I find it funny when people act like they are anything other than overtly communistic.

Captain's Wafer

Per Wikipedia, When Gargamel first appeared in Le Voleur de schtroumpf ("The Smurfnapper"), published in 1959, he captured a smurf which he needed as an ingredient for a potion to make gold in accordance with the famed alchemic legend of the Philosopher's Stone. The other smurfs rallied against him, freed the kidnapped smurf and the sorcerer was defeated and humiliated. Gargamel swore revenge: from now on the conflict would be personal.

Let's not make outlandish claims or start a race war, that would not be fair to Gargamel. This was not a genocide in any attempt. If I could spin a nutria into gold and the amount of gold in ounces was equal to the weight in ounces of the nutria....I think I'd be on W. Metairie right now with an air rifle and my Alchemist's diary. This is not a case of ethnic cleansing...it's just a man's search for meaning.

Anybody ever seen Smurf porn? Well, it's more like Smurf gangbang. Smurfette being the only tail in town and all.

Fun fact: Sperm semen is white just like ours. Who knew?

ETA: that should have been Smurf semen. Gosh.

You'd be there with your air rifle until you wiped them out; then you'd move somewhere else. You can't tell me that if you found such an easy way to make/get gold, you'd just give up and quit if nutria were still out there.

I'm surprised that Cracked hasn't picked up on this for a themed article idea of "Top 10 Cultural Items That Would Make The Tea Party Lose Their shite If They Existed In the 80s" or something like that.

Who ever said I would quit? Moreover, i belive in the Japanese philosophy of "kaizen" or continual improvement (or other various Six Sigma Methods) to streamline production. I'd proabbly hire various gunmen as well....

I'm going to take this a step further and conclude that the Smurfs were a product of the French Situationist International (1950s-1970s) in which life took a Marxist bent in order to avoid product alienation and to foster moments of "life concretely and deliberately constructed by the collective organization of a unitary ambiance and a game of events."

DAMN DUDE, SMURFS ARE GETTING SUPER frickING DEEP

Why are you comparing smurfs to nutria?
Nutria are an invasive species that actually destroy their environment.
How do the smurfs destroy their environment?

Purely hypothetical...the nutria angle is taking too much away from the issue at hand.

Another point of interest on Gargamel is that perhaps he was really just fighting for women's rights and liberation. He did create Smurfette to infiltrate this obviously patriarchal society where women have become extinct over the evolution of Smurfdom. Apparently, Smurfs find no use for women and obviously use asexual reproduction. However, perhaps there never have been any women at all....gotta look at both sides of all arguments.

Hanna-Barbera really produced some interesting cartoons racially: Smurfs, Jetsons, Flinstones, Scooby Doo, Snorks....

These guys fascinate me and I am certain they smoked alot of peyote.
