Posted by: Matt Lewis at 2:43 PM

G.I. Joe now stands for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity". That's according to this ...

Even our cartoons are losing their sovereignty.

It's getting easier and easier...
...to refrain from going to the theater. And the villain is going to be a Scottish arms dealer? Hmm. I wonder if he's in cahoots with those Nazis in "The Sum of all Fears" who nuked a football stadium? Or that Harvard-looking white guy in "Live Free or Die Hard" who shut down our computer networks? Is it too much to ask that we have villians who look something like the bad guys who exist in our real lives? Imagine WWII Hollywood if it conducted itself as today's Hollywood does. "Casablanca"-Rick and Elsie outwit evil Swedes who have declared martial law in the city. "Guadalcanal Diary"-A racially and ethnically diverse band of Marines battles evil Irishmen on a lonely island in the Pacific. "Run Silent, Run Deep"-A rogue submarine headed by an evil captain being bribed by Halliburton takes to the seas to sink allied oil tankers, hence driving up the stock market price of oil.

Just so long as he's not straight.
Let's just hope, for the sake of PC senibilities everywhere, that the new Joe is entirely in touch with his feminine side. The rainbow helmets are coming.

New name
"G.I. Joe is a U.S. guy," Hunt said. "What are we going to call it — Global Joe? International Joe? It's kind of stupid. It's ridiculous that they're doing that." No, Colonel. Call it "New World Order Joe". Hasbro is just another transnational corporation that has no loyalty to this nation.

Yeah...
But if it's anything like the cartoon was, do you really want the US military associated with a bunch of guys improvising an ice hockey game with terrorists using a WMD component as their puck? :)

Can we please...
have Mitt Romney condemn this, followed by comments from Steyn and VDH. Then the seriousness of this will hit home to everybody.
