The Smurfs Have Failed:(
Tuesday, February 5, 2008 11:03
395 Croatians gathered on Sunday, dressed up like little blue Smurfs to try to break the world record of “many Smurfs gathered together”. A life dream becoming a reality, an entire country would have the honor to be included in the famous Guinness book of records, through this so smart and wise idea.
The previous world record was just 290 people. So the 395 Croatians, painted them self’s blue, wore white trousers and hoods and gathered around to enjoy their place in history.
But is seems the Internet proved to be the wrong source of information. The record was not 290 people any more, it was 451 and it was held by students from Warwick University.
The Croatian Smurfs are now upset as they could have easily gather 60 more people and earn a spot in the record book.
Since I could not find a video of this event, I included UNICEF’s tragic video that can only bring sorrow to everybody.
