Do you think The Smurfs were a subliminal message about Communism?

wow you have got me thinking..the first person to make me do that today.LOL! The smurfs isolated theirselves from the rest of the world also- a point I dont think was made in that article. anyway thanks for this interesting concept.

Watching the video the song has to be about the fall of communism, however you get a hint of sarcasm that perhaps the west isn't that much better at running it's countries.\n\nOK, let's try this again..other then there being a bunch of guys wearing "Devo-type" outfits, and different statues with different forms on top (a man, a star, a black Statue of Liberty) I really don't know what you're asking.

We have entered the age of HYPERREALITY. The 'real' is now only simulated by signs...\nThe sign (in our capitalist world is MONEY), starts off as a reflection of our basic reality...\nThen it masks and perverts reality...\nThen it makrs the absence of reality...\nFinally, it bears no relation to reality whatsoever; it is a pure simulacrum.\n\nSimulacra can still dictate our existence, but the existence they create is meaningless and inexplicable.

I don't believe so, that is a good question though... \n\n I believe they recieve publicity, and if the bots are advertising bots, then maybe so. It is possible that the company has been payed to have the bot advertize, luckily, I have not ran into any of these bots lately. \n\n Sorry I could not answer more detailed, I looked and could not find much on bots, I do know for sure though that it is very likely they get a small amount, if any for the bots.

But it DOES have a moral! The moral is that Communism does not work. Communism seems like a great idea at first, but eventually natural heirarchies evolve and the government becomes autocratic.\n\nIn Animal Farm the pigs incite a revolution against the tyrannical Farmer Jones, but by the end of the book they themselves have become the tyrants - indistinguishable from humans.\n\nMost of the characters in the book represent real individuals or organisations from the Communist Revolution in Russia. \n\nFarmer Jones is Tsar Nicholas, Old Major is Marx, Snowball is Trotsky, Napoleon is Lenin or Stalin, Squealer presents the propanda machine, the horses are the people (Boxer representing the working class Proletariats and Molly representing the aristocratic Bourgoise), the raven represents the church, the dogs represent the Red Army, and so on.

I suppose it's possible.  Snakes and women have to put up with an unending stream of bad PR from that silly apple incident; why couldn't the Satan-vs-all-that's-holy thing be just as slick a piece of choreography as a WWE bout?\n\nAnd there's the trouble.  How do you attack such silliness as WWE?  And how do you recruit anyone to help you (how do you get 'em to stop laughing, to begin with?  I'm having trouble with the giggles myself).  \n\nAnyway.  Tiananmen Square was, alas, a failure; however, the Berlin Wall came down sorta kinda by accident.  We'll just have to wait and watch for an opportunity; patience, my revolutionary brethren, patience....

yes, most definitely. The albino midgets had a National convention recently in Paducah, Kentucky. Their #1 item on the agenda was the subject of steeling teeth for their death machine. I am really shocked you know that, as it is suppose to be top secret, and those of us who were in attendance at the convention vowed never to say a word.

You are either with us are against us! you dont believe in that do you? thats the same line we've fallen for for centuries. stalin, mao, cheng, wassalib, hitler, poipot, melosovic, il & leone have all used that to commit terrible things while in power. heres another slogan for ya, 'those who can be made to believe absurdities can be made to commit attrocities'.

Smurfs aren't blue. They're green. You need to adjust the color on your television. ;)

It makes a nice story, but it is a myth. \n\nA close look will clearly show the fall of the Soviet Union resulted almost entirely from internal political struggles. The correlation with Reagan’s "anti-Communist" rhetorical stance was merely coincidental, not causal. If you review the available US intelligence documents you will see that the fall of the Soviet Union was completely unexpected--certainly not in any way the result of a planned campaign or strategy.\n\nUnfortunately these self-serving myths are usually more popular than reality, even though the correct information is easily available to anyone who bothers to look. Unfortunatly their understanding of economics appears to fall into the same pattern.

Ummm... I would be very careul about what I read and more importantly, what I believe. The "Communist Party" isn't the only group to partake in propaganda.

LOL! Sometimes they seem to be. I think they are a little more socialist.

I always liked Handy Smurf.  That little dude thought outside the box.

do you think the world would be a better place if people had shown more understanding to adolf hitler, josef stalin, or pol pot?\n\nif you give help to someone to do evil, you do evil yourself.\n\n'for evil to triumph it is enough that the good remain silent'.\n\n(or words to that effect).
