Time for the big reveal

Back on track with one of the girliest cartoon ever made. Three California girls wearing lycra tracksuits to defeat evil minds, listening to the orders of Jerry the gentleman from his skyscraper. Totally cool Clover, Sam and Alex proved everyone wrong. Sure, Wonderwoman already made clear that the superhero position isn’t only made for strong men, but The Totally Spies stepped up the game. Their fancy weapons and cute looks showed power has nothing to do with appearance. You thought superheroes lift rocks to work out? WROOONG, the work out routine of the Totally Spies is composed of rollerblading in Santa Monica, Thai massages and weekly visits to the hairdresser. Nothing’s better than a sleek body to sweeten the baddest jerks, riiight. You can’t fight crime if you ain’t cute, can you? But recently, the show I always cherished got corrupted by an astonishing article, which revealed the dark side of the program. Underneath Sam’s smart ass and Clover’s sexy look (who cares about Alex) relies the promotion of a sexual fetichism in EVERY episode. Really? Chocked you must be, as much as I was when I heard the news (otherwise, you’re not human). Bad journalism or reality? One will never know since the Totally Spies all retired by now and can’t be reach . In my attempt to find their zip code, I wondered: is it what made the show so successful? Sex sells, but even for kids? Well, look at today kids’ idols, and you’ve got your response

Anyway, this article actually made me love the show even more. Only the eye of an adult could grab this sexual aspect, which means the journalist watched it again and again. And god knows only the best cartoons can be appreciated older, so keep up the good work Spies! And please, don’t go sexless… Nothing to say Jerry?
