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.


Comments:
oh please. like there's a choice.

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. Of course. You can't beat that hair.
 
truely truely truely outrageous.. Jem.
 
Smurfette was too coy for me. She also seemed to do whatever the male smurfs wanted her to.
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.
 
Ditto to all the pro-Smurfette comments so far. Even though Papa Smurf is portrayed as the leader of the Smurf colony, you have to believe that Smurfette is the Queen Smurf. Like the old saying goes, behind every good man is an even better woman. Or we should probably rewrite that to say that behind every good man is a woman telling him what to do. And of course a single female Smurf has the ultimate power that is diluted very little with competition from other ladies. The witholding of services is certainly more effective than bribes to get what you want.

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.
 
We are the Misfits! Our songs are better!
 
So far, this debate has more gender fuel than the one about Grape Ape vs Monchhichi!

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.

For an entertaining treatise on SMURFs (socialist men under red father), see this Wiki Link.
 
Smurfette survived as the only female with 100s of little crazy blue men....she winds for the endurence factor...
 
I still want to be a rock star - Jem, no question about it.

Lauren
 
She could nag like my mom, lead the men around by their noses like a cheerleader and said "smurfiest" the most when playing the Smurf Drinking game. Hats off to Smurfette.
