FACT: Melissa Silverman, daughter of NBC television
executive Fred Silverman, loved the Smurfs so much she
inspired her father to create the Smurfs animated series
which ran for almost a decade.
OPINION: I love fruit salad, why has nobody made
an animated series out of that?
FACT: Smurf figurines stamped with a special "M"
stick-figure on the bottom are produced by a company called
"Schleich". Schleich stopped marking their figurines with
the special "M" around 1972.
OPINION: "M" stands for "Motherfuck! These things
scream when you burn the letter 'M' into their feet!"
FACT: The word "Smurf" is used extensively by
the Smurfs, as a noun, verb, and everything in-between.
OPINION: Using the word "Smurf" in different contexts
can lead to confusion. For example, saying "Smurf my ass"
will either get you arrested, or a discount on a lawnchair
at Zellers.
FACT: Smurf figurines debuted in 1965, although
they were not available in North America until 1980.
OPINION: North American imigration policies prevented
the arrival of millions of little blue people and Smurfs
too. Stop racism.
FACT: Smurf figurines are made of PVC, stand 2"
tall, and have eight fingers and eight toes.
OPINION: These figurines are obviously anatomically
incorrect. Smurfs are three apples tall, not 2". And,
unlike the figurines, they do have cocks.
FACT: There are six Easter Smurf figurines.
OPINION: My favorite is Jesus Smurf with his mushroom
crucifix.
FACT: In Chinese, "Smurf" translates to "Lan Jing
Ling". OPINION: Try ordering that in a Chinese
food restaurant. They taste squishy.
FACT: The Smurfs were created in in Brussels,
Belgium by Pierrot Culliford (Peyo) in 1958.
OPINION: He was under the heavy influence of drugs
and leprachaun magic.
FACT: The Smurfs debuted in newspaper comic entitled
"Johan et Pirouit".
OPINION: "Johan et Pirouit" was the first comic
to feature little blue creatures, and full frontal nudity.
FACT: Each Smurf Christmas tree ornament figurine
comes with a fine gold cord.
Strangle your little Christian Smurfs with this gold
cord in order to sacrifice them to our Lord and Saviour,
Gargamel.
