Unicorns and Rainbows and Smoking, Oh My!
Ever notice how nothing bad ever happens to unicorns? They get to hang out, frolic and be totally imaginary with no real threat or danger to their lives. Really, have you ever read a fairy tale where the unicorn goes down in a siege outside the castle? If you have, that’s amazing – send it to us. If not, here’s a bone-crunching, totally non-imaginary fact for you: About 1 out of every 3 youth smokers will eventually die from tobacco.
What does this have to do with unicorns? Great question! We’ve made a screensaver that ends the unicorns’ reign once and for all. Three unicorns hang out on the computer, frolicking in the clouds and being merry. Once two of them jump a gap in the clouds, the third one tries to make it and falls dead into a boneyard of unicorn skeletons. Bones keep stacking until someone wakes the computer up.
You’re not going to win over a whole lot of librarians with this one, but try this. Next time you’re in a library, download the screensaver on one of the computers, then take off and let the unicorns do their magic. Extra points if it’s in the library’s Fantasy section.

sounds cool, how could i download the screensaver?
i want it. where do i download it?
read “The Unicorn” by Shel Silverstein. the unicorns don’t get a happy ending in that one. but i do like the screensaver.
Doesn’t some psycho with magical powers drink unicorn’s blood in Harry Potter or something?
Shoot me because I know that.
I want this screensaver.
Clever.
In the movie: Legend (starring Tom Cruise) has a unicorn ending with a bad fate.
And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, “Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can’t wait for no unicorns”
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That’s why you never see unicorns to this very day
You’ll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
You’re never gonna see no unicorns.
“The Unicorn Song” – Triskelle

UH… Yeah dude, (or dudess, or dudes… whatever) it’s not like anyone doesn’t know smoking is bad for them. Hmmm… Can you say, ‘Waste of time?’. But then again, who am I to talk? I’m posting a comment.
No big horned deamons love to go after unicorns. Haven’t you ever seen that 80′s movie ‘Legend’ with Tom Cruise?
a unicorn gets killed in the first harry potter.
Alot of comments on this one.
Nothing bad ever happens to unicorns because, seriously, would you mess with anyone with a horn like that?
Be happy that unicorns use their uni-horn for good instead of evil.
Now, about those Smurfs…
PSH. I made a unicorn cry once.
WITH THE POWER OF THE BLOG.
unicorns get killed in harry potter.
Um….please don’t clog up the FREE public library computers by downloading this on public computers. Do it at home. Your tax dollars are actually being well spent in most public libraries. The staff is already overworked and underpaid, so don’t add cleaning this crap off the computers to their daily to do lists. Come on, Infect Truth guys/gals……don’t encourage people to do unkind things. Concentrate on your mission to educate people, and let us librarians concentrate on our mission, which incidentally, is to educate people……not to clean unnecessary files off the computers.
i totally support the librarian’s comment. libraries and their free computers are a blessing. now, internet cafes… that’s a different matter… lol
how do i get that screensaver?
is it possible for you to give me a download of it???
i downloaded this screen saver it made my cusin cry but i like it. the message is really small buttttttt i like it
This all seems silly. A person will make their own decisions, when, where and how they choose. True – an opinion or ‘insight’ does make a difference. But two people given the same situation – they will both come out differently from said situation, because of decisions made.
I didn’t decide to smoke – anything.
I didn’t decide to drink – anything.
I didn’t decide to do alot of thing – ever.
I didn’t talk to my family and friends about alot of things – ever.
I was a straight A student and lived a ‘happy’ life – always.
But was I, and am I happy – no.
I am going to start doing the *right* things – now.
It’s the decisions that make up who you are, not the words, not the arguments, not the opinions. It’s the actions.
You make your own decision – do you want to die now or later? Do you want to have a temporary relief from your stress now or would you like to completely eliminate that stress factor from yoru life? Do you want to use cigarettes as a crutch? Or would you like to maybe have your Mothers’ shoulder to lean on instead? I think – i’ll go with my Mother’s shoulder. It’s a whole lot more comforting.
harry potter and the sorcerer’s stone [or philosopher's stone, depending on if you're british or not.]
chapter 15, page 255.
“it was the unicorn alright, and it was dead. harry had never seenanything so beautiful and sad.”
then quirrel came with voldemort on the back of his head and drank the blood because unicorns blood makes you immortal. but you only have a half-life, a cursed life, once the blood touches your lips.
..if anyone wanted to know.
also, i’m a freak. =]
The Divide by Elizabeth Kay (to take a break from HP *grin*) three different unicorns are poisoned. But I love the screensaver…. Heeheehee
I love the screensaver.
I really had no idea how gross cigarettes actually are… Thanks for doing a good job.
One less person who’ll smoke, yay! Think of the money I save!
[pst, maybe you should mention that in an ad? The stuff you could buy with the money spent on cigarettes in one year... nice vacation, maybe?]
I downloaded it. It’s great.
I believe that the unicorn also dies in C.S. Lewis’ The Last Battle.
This is a scary screen saver. I makes me sad just by looking at it.
i downloaded it.
i love it. :]
Wow. Yeah lets all go to the library where we could be reading useful books and get on a computer, read around on truth.com or whatever and then download a screensaver of dying unicorns for all the little kids to see as they get a book with their parents and get tramauatized. Yay lets ruin library trips for the children.
Truth infects and the truth is if you want to smoke go for it. If people dont like it they can walk away. That way they’re out of your face and they dont get second hand smoke.
Too sad, i love unicorns (even if they’re not real). Still, I support Truth’s cause.

oh i have in fact read a story where a unicorn dies.
it’s called the last battle by c.s. lewis… childhood favorite of mine.
See, they are a bunch of liars. Trying to make up stuff to keep your minds off the real truth. The only thing that is imaginary is the fake data to back up their claims. 1 out of 3 young people will die from smoking? That’s pretty good I’d say, cause only one third dies, two thirds live. Population control. We can’t all live forever.
Really really cute, and really really disturbing.
Oh My God!! wonderful screensaver i got it here!! But i want to need more wallpapers! So please update more Wallpapers!!
