GI Joe is an American entity. It has been American for 25 plus years. Why can't it stay that way?

They have been A Real American Hero for over 25 years. The American Flag is on all the vehicles. If you take out the American and take off the American flag it IS a slap in the face.
Why can't the American identity remain? Someone answer why that needed to be done? It didn't NEED to be done. It was done because GI Joe changes and it ain't worth losing sleep over or feeling like they slapped anyone in the face. That's like being pissed that they won't go around yelling "Yo Joe!!!" in the movie. At least I hope they won't. |

Just because you bought the marketing in the 80's doesn't mean Hasbro was Making G.I. Joe "A Real American Hero" out of some sense of overpowering patriotism and national pride. They did it because they thought that's what would sell at the time. That time, they were right. This time? It remains to be seen. But one of these entities is a multi-billion dollar toy corporation that's managed to remain profitable in a serious recession, and the other is a bunch of message board nerds (myself included). Which do you think has more expertise at marketing and selling toys? Last edited by Jmacq1; 06-18-2009 at 08:15 PM.. |

No, they were "Selling out" from the day they were invented. That's what some of you don't seem to be able to understand: G.I. JOE EXISTS TO MAKE MONEY FOR HASBRO. It serves no higher ideological purpose than that AND NEVER HAS.
