G.I. Joe is dead, do you agree?

Paramount Pictures is beginning production of a new movie starring G.I.J.O.E., an acronym for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, rather than an American hero. Seems they want to be politically correct in other ways as well. Instead of portraying the global menace as a radical Islamist, the head of the global threat, the evil Cobra army, is a Scotsman!

That's as bad as when studio heads changed Tom Clancy's bad guy IslamoFascists to skinheads to appease their global audience.

    He must be dead because I torched him with a cigarette lighter at least 10 times when I was 8.

    and I agree with you. Of course Osama and his followers would love to blow up the Super Bowl with a nuclear bomb, but they had to change the bad guys in the movie Sum Of All Fears to avoid insulting Islam.

    GI Joe is the American fighting man, and not some organization...it will be a shame if kids are brought up and miss out on GI Joe because of politically correct Hollywood.

    Yes, G.I. Joe is dead. He died when George W. Bush cut his veterans' benefits and he couldn't afford health care.

    Yeah! I don't see how he could survive after my Barbies attacked him and pulled his arms and legs off back in '72!

    He is dead. My friends and I chopped, and crushed G.I. Joe in a home movie when we were kids.

    GI Joe was a doll...

    What sort of tough "he-man" message is this we send to our kids: "Play with your dolls, little boys"?

    Besides, Joe date-raped Barbie in her pink Corvette, even in spite of the lack of genitalia...

    He's not dead. He's just in a coma. Better be careful. He might be able to hear what you're sayin'...

    Not in my heart he's not.

    I (heart) G.I Joe!
