VIN SUPRYNOWICZ: 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."
