I was trying to make the point that our troops aren't really getting the support and recognition they deserve from corporate America or the press. Changing an icon to suit marketing needs is an insult to the troops.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875378679299157108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-37691432275198033062007-11-18T06:37:00.000-05:002007-11-18T06:37:00.000-05:00I'm just amazed, with all the critical problems in...I'm just amazed, with all the critical problems in the world, that ANYONE could consider such a ridiculous issue as a friggin doll the least bit important. <BR/><BR/>You're right Kathy. It shouldn't be about the money. But it also shouldn't be about any interest in such a trivial piece of non-news as a new name for GI Joe. Who gives a damn?<BR/><BR/>We have real soldiers dying in two real wars, and some jerk off executive is concerned about what to name his product in order to not offend a world that is starting to hate us, as well they should. And the press gives it coverage?

Maybe we'll have to rename Uncle Sam to Uncle Everyman. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
