Another treasured childhood memory (not to mention actual American hero) ruined by idiots

G.I. Joe was just a toy, wasn't he?

Hollywood now proposes that in a new live-action movie based on the G.I. Joe toy line, Joe's -- well, "G.I." -- identity needs to be replaced by membership in an "international force based in Brussels." The IGN Entertainment news site reports Paramount is considering replacing our "real American hero" with "Action Man," member of an "international operations team."

Paramount will simply turn Joe's name into an acronym.

The show biz newspaper Variety reports: "G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer."

Well, thank goodness the villain -- no need to offend anyone by making our villains Arabs, Muslims, or foreign dictators of any stripe these days, though apparently Presbyterians who talk like Scottie on "Star Trek" are still OK -- is a double-crossing arms dealer. Otherwise one might be tempted to conclude the geniuses at Paramount believe arms dealing itself is evil.

....

Well, who cares. G.I. Joe is just a toy, right? He was never real. Right?

On Nov. 15, 2003, an 85-year-old retired Marine Corps colonel died of congestive heart failure at his home in La Quinta, Calif., southeast of Palm Springs. He was a combat veteran of World War II. His name was Mitchell Paige.

Three More Days 'Till Halloween!


I couldn't help myself.

I'm Like Hosea And Shit


Ok, maybe I'm not really a prophet, even a minor one. And Yahweh didn't command me to marry a hooker named Gomer as a lesson to Israel to stop whoring about with other gods. But my prophesy did come true: Oral Roberts is blaming Mr. Oogie Boogie for his University's problems.



A noted U.S. televangelist returned to his namesake university Monday and denied accusations of lavish spending by school officials and illegal involvement in a political campaign, telling students and employees in a chapel service that "the devil is not going to steal ORU."
Why Beelzebub wants his dumpy "university," with it's aggressively tacky prayer tower and "big hands making a vagina" monument, is beyond me. But I don't question Our Dark Master, I only do his unholy bidding...

Buzz Is Back

After a disturbingly long break(down?), Buzz is posting again at my favorite horror blog, CampBlood. And since it's getting close to Halloween, it's time again to watch the gayest horror movie ever: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2.

Gotta Light?


All the Tobacco in China - a paean to Chinese smoke in the Wall Street Journal. Oddly compelling.

Naughty, naughty Syria

Photos show cleansing of suspect Syrian site

New commercial satellite photos show that a Syrian site believed to have been attacked by Israel last month no longer bears any obvious traces of what some analysts said appeared to have been a partly built nuclear reactor.

Two photos, taken Wednesday from space by rival companies, show the site near the Euphrates River to have been wiped clean since August, when imagery showed a tall square building there measuring about 150 feet on a side.

The Syrians reported an attack by Israel in early September; the Israelis have not confirmed that. Senior Syrian officials continue to deny that a nuclear reactor was under construction, insisting that Israel hit a largely empty military warehouse.

Alabama Stomped Tennessee!

And we were able to relax during the fourth quarter. That hasn't happened since Thor was a toddler, thumpin' his plastic hammer on a Hasbro "Nordic Play-Deity Smiter" toy.

The SEC is a shitstorm of insanity. It's turned into a fuck-all, bitch-slapping maelstrom of fun and pain. The Iron Bowl will be so white-hot nuclear you could vaporize a Jap with it!

The way it should be...

P.S. Go Vande!

In case you wondered what the best band recording now was, check out the Yeah Yeah Yeah's new EP. It's like a bunch of shit you liked way back when, only different and better.

More Oral Roberts University Fun

A new court petition was filed pertaining to the case I posted about earlier. In it is the claim that:

Mrs. Roberts spent the night in the university's guest house with an underage male on 9 separate occasions.

It states there are 29 photos of Mrs. Roberts and the underage male alone in her sports car after city-wide curfew

Looks like Mrs. Roberts got her groove back. But of course the University is taking this whole thing in stride, counting on their faith and high moral values to get them through this adversity.

It also says three days after the original lawsuit was filed, ORU and Roberts terminated ORU's financial comptroller.

Then it states witnesses have reported that voluminous materials and documents were shredded and destroyed.

Or not. At least they don't have any sexual deviants on staff to worry about.

It claims Roberts and the board gave a convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to the students of the university as a "mentor."
Where's that 900-foot Jesus when you need him?
