Somewhere during that slow fade between wakefulness and sleep, I have always known this to be true:
Smurfs Are Sexist Nazis ...
In deconstructing the culture and lifestyle habits of the Smurfs ("les schtroumpfs"), French sociologist Antoine Buéno depicts the little blue creatures as racist, sexist, anti-Semitic "archetype[s] of totalitarian society imbued with Stalinism and Nazism. ..."
I always was uncomfortable watching all those Hanna-Barbera episodes of the Little Blue People. And I could never quite put my finger on why. But now the scales ... blinds ... windshield wipers ... have fallen from my eyes. And I see the old Smurfy realities with new clarity, fresh understanding.
Sony Pictures cannot be pleased.

Mr. Bueno clearly has a little bit too much free time on his hands. On the other hand, this might be one of the cleverest movie publicity schemes ever conceived.
EEEwwww. They're BLUE! I wonder what the color of their blood is when you step on them?
