G.I. Joe: Is it a surprise it's not popular?

Have you ever noticed G.I. Joe didn't really have a "Slow kid retard version"? I mean Transformers had Go-Bots, Masters Of The Universe had that one that was just a Furry version of Masters of the Universe, and the list probably goes on (I'm not going to look to see if there was a rival line to something I don't give a fuck about)

Sure there were probably three thousand knock offs like "THE CORPS!" "COMMANDO" "POWER COMMANDO" and "BLACK COMMANDO" but those were things you bought at the creepy ass toy store in the mall run by a dude with a mustache and a hawaiian shirt when you didn't want some gay figure like Zandar or Psyche Out. Perhaps G.I. Joe's popularity in the good old days was far overstated than we might think.

Now before some stupid fuck decides to quote that corporate insider book about 80's toys, I'd like to ask you what's more common "Some faggot hipster in a Transformers t-shirt with a jacket that has a "Bob Dole 1996" button" or "Some faggot hipster with a G.I. Joe t-shirt and a stupid hat of some sort". Obviously it's a the Transformers t-shirt. The only dudes I've ever seen wearing a G.I. Joe shirt are fat asses with greasy hair and a body hygiene rating of "Poor".

This isn't just a problem with G.I. Joe fans, it's a problem with the goddamn toys too. The last figure to have modern haircut was Helix from ROC, but seriously who the fuck still had a two-tone haircut in 2010? (I can't remember if ROC came out in 2010 but I don't really give a fuck) and before that it was motherfuckin' 1993 BulletProof (capitalizing on House Party 2)

So the long and short of this is, G.I. Joe wasn't, isn't and probably never will be Socially relevant outside of some goddamn jerks who like to believe President Obama was born "Somewhere in the country of Africa", and a smaller group of pretty cool dudes who populate STS and some of the other sites linked on the side (visit Cobra Cabana, motherfuckers)

3 YEARS JERKS

If you are a member of Joedios, and your photo was on this blog, you must personally ask myself, or the esteemed Dr. Henry E. Miller for it to be removed. The lesson here is "Don't put your goofy ass mug on the goddamn internet"

Fireflyed has no editorial control over this blog, he is a contributor who is paid with a jar of home made jam every 6 to 8 weeks, myself and Dr. Henry E. Miller have control of all things, and require the following:

1. A personal request for the removal of said image. If more than one is on a message, please note you will have to request each one be removed individually.

2. A decent explanation as to why we here at Smash The State Figure Review (Est. 1993) should remove the images. Again, a separate explanation for each image

3. An Apology to the following people: Johnny Turk, Dr. Henry E. Miller, Tom Jacks Esq., Levar Burton, Ralph Nader and D. Boon. All you have to do is apologize in your message, list off said names, and tell us why your sorry. Inconvenience is the best reason you can give, however we are open to interpretation

4. A chronological list of D.O.A. Drummers. It must be accurate.


Failure to complete any of the following requests will result in the suggestion that you "Just fuck off and die"®

Please note, myself and Dr. Henry E. Miller are not affiliated with any websites but Smash The State. We only know Ronald the Thomas Gunner and Fireflyed through the fine folks at Broca Blutch. If you look at one message posted by Fireflyed he uses my last name in place of "Roland" that is a typo.
