Headline Says It All: ‘Four Smurfs Arrested Over Assault’

Men Dressed as Smurfs Arrested for Assault in Australia

A screen shot of the Smurfs from a surveillance video.

The headline on the Australian news website reads: “Four Smurfs arrested over assault.”

And that about sums it up.

Of course there is video of said Smurfs, who are said to have beaten a man who offered them a cigarette but refused to light it. From TheAge.com:

A 37-year-old Pascoe Vale man was buying cigarettes at a convenience store when he was approached by a man painted blue and dressed as a character from the 1980s cartoon show, police say.

The Smurf asked for a cigarette and was offered one, but he demanded the man light the cigarette before handing it over.

Police asked the men to turn themselves in. And they did:

No word on why the men were dressed as Smurfs or why they were so angry at the man for not lighting their cigarette. But we do know they were kind of blue.

They should have just chewed some Orbitz. I believe that would have smurfed them good.

Hey- you’d have some rage issues too if the girl to guy ratio in your community was 1 chick for every 200 dudes. why do you think prisoners riot all the time?
Not to mention they live inside “magic mushrooms”. Hallucinations must commonplace.
I’m surprised there isn’t more of this happening.

If it happened here, there would be a move to register blue paint.

I would be hesitant to light a cigarette for the blue smurfs. If they had evil intent, they may have had a squirt gun w/gas in it or some such thing. Can’t even trust the blue people in these race charged times. Thanks be to the progressives in the msm a governments around the world. Was it Hitler that last devided its people?

Gaining widespread notoriety is no longer possible by means of simple crime……you gotta have a “schtick”.

Sounds like they had a visit from their friend Al K. Hall. Either that or they thought the man was going to eat them or smelt them into gold…

Bath salts! Must be a side effect that you turn blue and adopt a Marxist utopia with only one artificially created female. The female created by a worn middle aged wizard in a ploy to devour you.

Wow, they are smurfed now. I wonder if Papa Smurf will bail them out or make them spend the night in jail. In other news, Smurfette found out Dopey of the 7 Dwarves is the father of her baby. Film at 11.

I was rather surprised they weren’t called Schlumpfs Down Under.

  I guess Brainy Smurf wasn’t in this group. It must have been Bi-Polar Smurf and his friends.

  Darmok, LOL. That has to be it.
  Back in the mid ’80s while I was well into my thirties I saw some kids in Belgium playing with what were obviously toy smurfs. They were calling them Schlumpfs. Later while back in Germany when visiting a fellow soldier at his home with his German wife and their children I noticed they had Smurfs too, so I had to ask. As I understood it, all of Europe called them Schlumps and that when they were introduced to America, that name went over like a lead balloon. They were introduced on the market again as Smurfs, and we know the rest.

  There were the same things with the Power Rangers in Japan, different names there, but Hollywood didn’t like the name, thus they change it for our markets. Although some name changes are good, when VW brought the Beetle over to america, they decided to change it from the Final Solution Mobile, to the Beetle. Probably for the best.

First Ooompah Loompahs, now Smurfs. Obama should ban cartoons to stop all this violence.
