GI JOE GETS A MAKEOVER FOR MOVIE
Concerned about the current negative image of the American military in many countries, Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, the toy manufacturer, have decided that in their forthcoming film featuring comic-book patriot G.I. Joe, the character will become part of a multinational force, the London Daily Telegraph reported today (Tuesday). Even the character's name has become an acronym for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, the newspaper said. Word of the makeover is likely to anger U.S. conservatives, the Telegraph noted. The film is due to open in 2009.

I am a marine whose outraged. GI JOE is supposed to be about American Heros
fighting a terrorist group threating Live across the world, which fits todays
sistutation. GIJOE came from an American Hero who won the medal of honor.
Government Issue Joe was the nick name after that. Now they want to take it
away to kiss @ss to the whole world. I will never watch the movie. Its an
insult to American Troops and those individuals who grew up on these ideals.
