Remember that UNICEF ad in Belgium where they bomb Smurf Village? I blogged about it before.

The only complete and high-quality version of the ad is the streaming video in this CBS News article. (You'll have to suffer through a commercial first before you can see the commercial.) I couldn't find any downloadable high quality version, only this low quality, slightly edited version.

Btw, you've probably already seen the ridiculous list of Chuck Norris Facts. My favorite is: "Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits."

You may not have heard that Chuck Norris has personally responded to the list! Since the page does not look permanent, I'll copy it for posterity here:

IN RESPONSE TO THE "RANDOM FACTS" THAT ARE BEING GENERATED ON THE INTERNET

I'm aware of the made up declarations about me that have recently begun to appear on the Internet and in emails as "Chuck Norris facts." I've seen some of them. Some are funny. Some are pretty far out. Being more a student of the Wild West than the wild world of the Internet, I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It's quite surprising. I do know that boys will be boys, and I neither take offense nor take these things too seriously. Who knows, maybe these made up one-liners will prompt young people to seek out the real facts as found in my recent autobiographical book, "Against All Odds?" They may even be interested enough to check out my novels set in the Old West, "The Justice Riders," released this month. I'm very proud of these literary efforts.

Awesome. :) All this reminded me of the briefly-aired Chuck Norris cartoon from the 80s. Here's the opening credits of Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos. I love how they say "Chuck Norris" 5 times in the first 15 seconds. :D

Okay, while I'm at it, I might as well knock of a couple of other random videos. Here's what happens if you put a car behind a 747. And I don't know what the hell this one is, but I guess it's live action stop-motion?

And finally, a picture for you. The new face of China? I love the expression of the soldier on the left. (Btw, "kennethinshanghai" is not me; it's some other Kenneth. :P) I love the list of flickr tags on this one:

china

lesbians
gay
kiss

tiananmen

Now there's a combination you don't see every day.
