I noticed something. Yes, I know that sounds unbelievable, it scares me too.

It seems a lot of people are wondering where the seemingly random hatred of Smurfs on Fanpop came from.

I know, sounds strange to me too. So I decided to investigate this mystery that has led to confusion and gnashing of teeth on Fanpop.

I was a nobody so no one noticed when I left. I started training so that I could come back and I would be ready.

A few weeks later I was back....
