Finally: Knight Rider.

Head over to iTunes to get your Knight Rider Fix. Here’s the description on the site:

Knight Rider, Season 1

It all begins when Michael Long, a Vietnam veteran and undercover cop, is seriously injured while trying to arrest a circle of industrial saboteurs. His partner, Lonnie, has been murdered, and Michael has been left for dead. But his life saved by the immediate and exclusive medical attention that the dying millionaire/inventor Wilton Knight has provided. Wilton has hired the country’s best plastic surgeon to reconstruct a face for Michael – but not his own. Wilton arranges for a new identity – Michael Knight – to carry on his fight for justice after Wilton dies. Meanwhile, in the Knight Enterprises laboratories, scientists are working around the clock to prepare a sensitive, computerized and indestructible car for the new Michael. The car is called the Knight-2000 and its speaking computer, K.I.T.T., is in tune with a sensor that has been implanted into Michael Knight’s brain. Knight Rider is a fantastic thrill-ride about a crime with his super-advanced car, K.I.T.T. K.I.T.T. has the ability to think and talk, often chiding others with his hilarious witticisms. Great action, great fun, great car.

The Smurf's Learn to Duck and Cover.

I always thought there was something too good about the village the Smurf’s lived in. I know they had Gargamel to contend with but that was manageable, carpet bombing on the other hand was unexpected. UNICEF has created a marketing campaigned aimed at ~~frightening children~~ raising money and awareness for the UN’s Children fund.

It opens with the Smurf’s dancing, hand in hand, around a campfire and singing the Smurf song. Bluebirds flutter past and rabbits gambol around their familiar village of mushroom-shaped houses until, without warning, bombs begin to rain from the sky.

The Smurf’s scatter and run in vain from the whistling bombs, before being felled by blast waves and fiery explosions. The final scene shows a scorched and tattered Baby Smurf sobbing inconsolably, surrounded by prone Smurf’s.
