No, I haven't quit posting again...

...just traveling for more than a week, then recovering from same.

In the "news of the weird" vein, apparently UNICEF thinks that bombing Smurfs is an excellent fundraising tool. You can't make this stuff up. Apparently reality isn't "real" enough, so the folks responsible thought it would be more disturbing to show Smurfs being bombed to smithereens.

All this in an effort to prevent "let[ing] war affect the lives of children." Which I suppose I'd find less absurdly hypocritical if it wasn't coming from an organization whose peacekeepers have been responsible for raping and otherwise abusing children who are victims of war. Perhaps UNICEF should start working on a cartoon to be shown to their own corrupt staff instead?

Could someone explain to me again why my tax dollars are funding this organization?
