Round 3 Match 2: Cute/Funny Division


Asteroid Dweller vs Fruit-Smeller
Folks, it's going to get ugly in the cute division. The Little Prince has been seemingly unstoppable, coming just shy of creating a new age religion around himself (L Ron Hubbard would be so proud).
But now we must choose between this enlightened mystic and an icon who many feel is the very embodiment of this division. Strawberry Shortcake is the undisputed Queen of Cute.
How will the votes play out in this epic struggle?

Comments:
i stomp on annoying Strawberry Shortcake. i hated her and her little friends when they first arrived on the scene, and nothing much has changed. there is nothing ironically cool about her because she is definitely not cool and she's not ironic enough when she comes up against Le Petit Prince.

i just can't vote for that smug little thing. i have to stick with LPP in this round.

if you haven't yet read Antoine de Saint-Exupery's brilliant story about the prince from asteroid B612, i urge you to do so before making any more decisions about his fate in this contest. somehow 'scorn doesn't seem to me to be the appropriate response, though...chacun a son gout. :)
 
though i supposed hatred wasn't the response the creators of Strawberry Shortcake were going for when they made her up, so if scorn is the way you need to go with LPP, so be it. i retract my hypocritical judgement.

i still think he's a better iconoclash winner than she is, though.
 
I'm surprised to report: Neva chooses Le Petit Prince!
 
I have a lot of good memories of playing strawberry shortcake - besting the Purple Pie Man at every turn...
And the weird thing is my mom still has this naked Blueberry Muffin? (I cannot remember which treat was Blueberry) doll that she has kept in a curio cabinet. I have no idea why she kept it, but it's a constant reminder of my youth (and the fact that I destroyed all doll clothes!).
Strawberry you get my vote for this round.
 
o-bear votes wholeheartedly for strawberry shortcake

i vote prince. strawberry shortcake smelled funny. and she was annoying. smelling funny and being annoying are no comparison for the character that, like me, is currently confused on a different planet.

emo boy wins over HM girl.
 
1. I actually didn't find that she smelled that bad.

2. I think he remains too celebrated, but ultimately, Le Petit Prince is cooler. I'll lend my support to him for this round.
 
Ugh. A shill if I ever met one with nothing behind the strawberries other than the cardboard and some glue (for the sniffers, damn your eyes). She stank!

And you dare...you let yourselves even imagine something like THAT? even standing on the same asteriod?!

Have we forgotten the pleasure we had listening to Richard Burton, in 1976, tell us the story from our record player? (Didn't he win the Grammy for best children's album that year? Wasn't it his voice that amused us again with the telling of the War Of The Worlds?)

It is a sad world indeed that picks saccarin over Asteroid B-612.
 
My first memory of strawberry shortcake was throwing up in the back of our Ford LTD while on the way to a family reunion, or maybe it was on the way home. Regardless, filling the plastic baggie with the oversweet dessert (and the accompanying smell) made me hesitant to ever try it again for many years.

All this to say, I'm not voting for SS. LPP for me.
 
Shortcake=sugar=obesity=death
French Kid on a distant (and incredibly tiny) planet=hallucination=LSD=overdose=death

Ultimately we arrive at the same point. Not being one to do any extra work, I'd like to get there in the shortest time possible.

Death by Shortcake
