I only have a passing awareness of Smurfs, but I have a visceral reaction that would be similar to seeing real children in this situation. It is probably true that many of us are in compassion overload simply trying to help in the many natural calamities that have occured in the last year. Perhaps "shock" advertising will work in drawing attention to child victims of unnatural circumstances, but I'm not convinced that this was a wise decision.
