Cute/Funny Division: Round 1 Match 3
Truly Outrageous vs. Totally Flirtatious
Jem: This girl had it all. Owns her own record label. And is a rock star, a philanthropist, and a jet-setting adventurer. And has great bling-bling and Madonna gloves. And her boyfriend is so perfect that the only other woman he has eyes for is her alter ego. And her music is contagious.
Smurfette: The reformed bad girl and the subject of much speculation and innuendo when it came to her role in Smurf village, (100 males and 1 female, you figure it out). Next to Papa Smurf, she is the most recognizable of the blue imps.
Jem wins hands down.
Smurfette has to be one of the most annoying cartoon characters of all time! i wouldn't be caught dead wearing her image on a t-shirt.
Jem has old-school, cheesy yet cool caché.
Showtime, Synergy!
Jem led the holograms and kept them on top despite the best efforts of the Misfits.
Smurfette also started out as a double agent - sent by Gargamel to infiltrate and destroy the smurfs (maybe thats a point in her favour?).
Although I like the fact that Smurfette knew her own style (evidenced by hundreds of copies of the same dress and shoes in her closet) and JEM admittedly had some serious personality issues - Jem still remains truly outrageous and thus has my vote.
For all those men with significant others, you'll definitely know what I'm talking about. For those who don't - you'll eventually learn.
I have to give props to the Smurfs. They were well loved, and were a marketing juggernaut through the 1980's whose glory was never eclipsed by the relative shark-jump of the babysmurf or the introduction of the human characters.
It's hard to give cred to Smurfette for the whole double agent thing, I think, since she was under the spell of Gargamel and then relieved of it by Papa Smurf. Is this girl power?
Plus ever since she went blonde (and here's the Paris Hilton link, methinkls) she is totally preoccupied with her looks!
I'll choose the smurfiest one, by which I mean Jem.
