I was told in Sunday school that they aren't created by God, but are the devil's minions. Thus the blue skin and pagan dance rituals. I actually fear Smurfs.

Seriously, I don't know people giving ecstasy to kids, and certainly not kids who think smurfs are cool. How old are you? I bet you think Smurfs are cooler than a 16-year old does, thus your comment. Should ecstasy manufacturers restrict themselves to generic things such as hearts, squares, circles? Why? It makes no sense. Oh, and btw, not a heavy drug user, but I've been around a small ecstasy sub-culture in Mexico, and the LSD subculture at other times.
