G.I. Joe..the remake! now: not American
Who needs A Real American Hero? Not Paramount or Hasbro it seems. The studio’s live-action feature film version of G.I. Joe will no longer revolve around a top-secret U.S. special forces team but rather an international operation.
What Does G.I. Joe Stand For?So why the changes? Hasbro and Paramount execs recently spoke about the challenges of marketing a film about the U.S. military at a time when the current U.S. administration and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are at a low-point in global polls. When a studio makes a film as expensive as G.I. Joe will likely be, they want to know that as many people as possible around the world will want to see it. In other words, G.I. Joe — “A Real American Hero” — is a tough sell.
Tinseltown strikes again.
Hmmmmmmmm. Notice the colors Paramount and Hasbro…um…I believe they are Red, White, and Blue. Look again wouldya.
They kinna remind me of these colors, which is what the doll was intended for in the first place. Patriotism.
Big shots at Paramount and Hasbro can join ranks with the other apologists and self hating Americans.
What does G.I. Joe stand for:
Government Issue.
G.I. Joe, Real American Hero.
What will it now stand for:
“Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity”
Kinna …sounds like an assembly line automaton of sorts, or mebbe some weed-smoking ex hippie Lefty, don’t it.
Of course they are missing the entire point of what G.I. Joe is about. It began as a toyline to support the regular American military 
man…something their children..(yes, you PC’ers..the “boys”!) could play with, and learn to respect and even love. 
Perhaps his counterpart…the nurse which was created for the “girls” to play with can be transformed into a suicide bombing Muzlim chick..would that satisfy Paramount and Hasbro?
Can hardly wait to the ahem…. remake of Patton.
What will he be?..An A-rab rock thrower or perhaps a Nazi with a cause…no wait howzabout a French general who of course wins the Global war on terror with diplomacy and shmoozing with the Izlamofacist thugs. 
None of these cowboy Americans who actually believe in fighting the enemy…. How tacky of us.
Perhaps Paramount and Hasbro oughta inform this Marine from the 3/5 Lima company who carries his GI Joe action man figurine as he patrols the city of Fallujah huh.
Shame on them. Cowards.
Stephen Sommers is director of the shameful flick.
Shame on them!
Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce G.I. Joe along with Hasbro honcho Brian Goldner. Sommers and his partner Bob Ducsay will also produce.
Please call, or Fire off a letter or email my friends.
Keep America alive.

Say it ain’t so!

Why make the movie with GI Joe if it ain’t going to be about GI JOE?
August 30th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
WTF??
Listen you Hollywood knotheads: The title says G.I. Joe, Real AMERICAN Hero.
Why make the blasted thing if it’s not going to be about AMERICANs?
August 30th, 2007 at 2:17 pm
Nothing…. Remains…. Sacred….
August 30th, 2007 at 2:18 pm

WTF? GI Joe not American, I am not even an American and I had a GI Joe as a kid here in the UK.
Time someone kicked some ass with them people in the ivory towers. If this carries on the whole US of A is going to be come as limp and soft as France has.

Guess what movie I won’t be seeing.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
Who cares about America, there’s money to be made! Greedy Bastards!
August 30th, 2007 at 5:27 pm
you said it right, cowards. And the topper is the tragically accurate cartoon of the fallen hero who dies for thier greed and self loathing “patriotism.” Patriotism, it is a punchline that they mock our heroes with a repulsive rhetoric befitting the belly crawlers they are.

“howzabout a French general who of course wins the Global war on terror”
HAH! That would be the first!
(Said through never ending runny eyes)…
Uh- And my son is talking in his sleep right now- beeing as sick as I’m…
Got to go and take care of him!
August 30th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
You gotta be kidding me.
GI Joe was the coolest cartoon back then. My favorite was Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.
Man, I hate to hear this.
August 30th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
Oh Angel, not G.I. Joe… sigh…
August 30th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Sort of like what they did with Superman by having him drop “and the American way!” Sheesh! Now he fights for freedom and justice but not the American Way!
I’m utterly sick of this crap!
August 30th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
The Left will never succeed in the death of patriotism… I hope.

I always loved my little G.I. Joes!

Good grief!! But that’s Hollywood for you!

The slippery slope has been entered..
What is next….stepping on my blue suede shoes.. I do think the time has arrived to use one of those blue shoes to kick a few @#!%&*s.

That’s really sad to me. We already pander to the Europeans and “world opinion” far more than is healthy. But these guys are about making money.Nothing else matters. In my work, I meet plenty of affluent people and most of them have one rule. If it makes money for me, it’s good, no matter what the consequences for anyone else.
August 31st, 2007 at 12:27 pm
This is rediculous!
What’s next Muslim Barbie?
Politically Correct Ken?
August 31st, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Count on those things.
August 31st, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Next they are going to make him rape children like the UN peacekeepers do. This whole idea is a travesty.

Have a great holiday weekend, Angel!
