Speaking of great headlines
I was just looking at the Yahoo homepage and saw this:
UNICEF Bombs Smurfs to Highlight Plight
If you're anything like me, your reaction to reading that sentence was "............................what?"
So I clicked, and ... it's pretty much exactly what the headline says. UNICEF has bombed the Smurfs. Smurfette is left for dead! The poster is a fund-raising ploy in Belgium, and apparently it's working pretty well - at least UNICEF has been getting a lot of calls. But I think it might be more effective if it weren't so horribly comical.

I'm pretty sure it's not Smurfette that's in trouble, it's that smurf buried in debris. Okay, I admit if there was only one girl in the bunch - she should be the most important.
I just wonder how Papa Smurf is taking the news.
I wonder which smurf is buried in debris? Vanity? Brainy? Why didn't his brain save them all?
