The popular all-American comic-book military man and action figure dating back to the 1940s is undergoing a significant transformation for the Paramount Pictures-distributed "G.I. Joe" film, which begins production in February and is scheduled for release in summer 2009.
No longer will G.I. Joe be a U.S. Special Forces soldier, the "Real American Hero" who, in his glory days, single-handedly won World War II.
In the politically correct new millennium, G.I. Joe bears no resemblance to the original.
Paramount has confirmed that in the movie, the name G.I. Joe will become an acronym for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity" — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys. It will no longer stand for government issued, as in issued by the American government.
The studio won't elaborate, saying filming hasn't begun and details are still in the works, but the behind-the-scenes rumblings are that the producers have decided to change the nature of G.I. Joe in order to appeal to a wider, more international audience.
The word is that in the current political climate, they're afraid that a heroic U.S. soldier won't fly.

GAY!
Why Joe?
Seeing how an action movie like this wouldn’t do well overseas, the movie has to rely on domestic box office. I think its safe to say this movie won’t fare to well here in America.
They are far more afraid that it will.
I share Col. Hunt’s opinion....
The culprits...Stephen Sommers and Di Bonaventura Films.
“acronym for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity” — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys.”
Already done. It’s “Team America: World Police”.

The next thing you know G.I. Joe ran off with Ken before shipping out and they got married in the Kennedy compound.
He’ll fight for gay rights
Wherever there’s bigotry
GIJoe is there!
The studio’s loss. I imagine those who made the decision didn’t want their pantywaist buddies at cocktail parties to behind their backs call them “jingoistic” or accuse them of saber-rattling, “disambiguating” the moral symbolism of the US armed forces, or in any other way doing something that could be construed as even tacit support of America, nor especially the American military - in any context whatsoever.
They never learn....
