It was bad enough when Hollywood decided to create a movie portraying our soldiers as murderers and psychopaths while they are at War dying for the freedom of others. Now they are changing G.I. Joe into a multicultural soldier with no American affiliation. Yes, Hollywood limousine liberal idiots are exceeding my patience. I can handle their unabashed socialism, even their global warming insanity, but when they attack G.I. Joe, enough is enough.
Paramount has confirmed that in their new 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. Evidently, they are worried that the rest of the world would not accept an American soldier movie. Well, if we look at the facts, the rest of the world would be controlled by Nazis if it were not for the G. I. Joe. So if they do not like it, dont make the movie. This is disgraceful.
Clearly, Hollywood has forgotten the, Real American Hero. G.I. Joe originally symbolized the American WWII soldier and our greatest generation. Now Hollywood celebrities are going to turn him into a politically correct Feminazi. Isnt anything sacred to these people?
Damn it.
Well, now I know.
Now who wants a BODY MASSAGE?
Gotta think about that international box-office! 
MY GOD, YOU COMPLAIN AFTER ONE POXY THING THAT NO ONE IS GOING TO WATCH. AFTER YEARS OF EVERY SINGLE MOVIE BEING SET IN AMERICA SO THE AMERICANS CAN FEEL HAPPY.
YOU BASTARDS TOOK THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE AND YOU MADE THE FAT CONTROLLER; MR CONDUCTOR AND THEN YOU MADE A GOD AWFUL MOVIE THAT DESTROYED WHAT WAS REMAINING OF THAT PART OF ME. JAMES IS A SCOUSER NOT ASH FROM POKEYMAN. WHY HAVE YOU AMERICANS NOT KNOWN THAT THE ISLAND OF SODOR WAS AN ISLAND BETWEEN BRITAIN AND THE ISLE OF MAN? AND WHY WERE THOSE CHILDREN PLAYING BASEBALL?
AND THE ITALIAN JOB REMAKE? WHY?
PAYBACK IS A @#%$.
Oh, I mean oh, thats tarrible...
Boycott all of California.
Aw, man.
No more "Yo Joe!" 
Kitty (Craig) on Trishie's account... because we're leaving in like 5 minutes and I have the time to type this explaination, but none to sign in/out.
Uh, yeah. Why not just make it ACTION FORCE if you want to appeal to the international market, seeings as only America know the franchise as GI JOE. The International switch is nonsensical given that.
Between a rock and a hard place for those politically correct international marketeers. Huh?

And knowing was half the battle.
Now that we do know, let's not support this trash.
I'd rather watch two hour's worth of parody, like this!
....I should care why?
There's probably no Sargeant Slaughter in this movie. That's why I don't.
Is it because he's based off of the wrestler with the same namesake? Oo
Also, I spit on Hollywood. LEAVE THE 80s ALONE. >:O
What John Taylor said.
Anyone who's read my rants on the subject knows that I don't agree with franchises being messed around with, but there's hardly ever a peep when a character from another nationality gets butchered for an American audience (*coughConstantineAroundtheWorldin80DaysCoralineTheDarkisRisingPossessionLeagueofExtraordinaryGentlemenandIcouldkeepgoingcough*).
They're keeping in mind that the franchise was Action Man in the UK and Australia anyway (and I think that the UK/Australian incarnation came first, although Hasbro produced both lines and I'm not totally sure about dates), so this is the US actually working towards an open market rather than against it, as usual.
Keeping the franchise title's a bit cheap in that respect, but I can live with the acronym accepting that G.I. Joe's jingoism and "Real American Hero"-ism were always only skin deep anyway.
Again, I've seen much worse franchise adaptation work that nobody cared about as long as it wasn't from the US. Let's see how it works out.
Looking at the "socialism" and "liberal" comments and sheer galloping jingoism in that rant, the original commentator wouldn't be happy unless Joe was voiced by Bill O'Reilly, had his army fatigues replaced with a Stars 'n' Stripes wifebeater and the villains were a collaboration of Hilary Clinton, Al Gore, Rosie O'Donnell and Friends of the Earth anyway.
What John and Sam said.
Though an Action Man movie would be awesome. Preferably done with stop motion action men =D
All of those are on a kind of different par than making G.I. Joe completely non-American affiliated, IMHO. It'd be different if James Bond was made American for all those movies or something.

Fixed for accuracy.
Hey, if people complained about the changes in the Transformers live-action movie, they can complain about completely changing the essence of G.I. Joe.
Unless it was for parody, like Team America.
It's a rare occurance when I utter this sentance... but... I agree with Ultra.
All this "haha, now you get your just desserts!" attitude doesn't alter the fact that this is GI Joe. Without Bruce Willis and Destro there is no movie.
NO MOVIE AT ALL!
and see, Spiner. Localisation already killed one GI Joe movie, watch the INFERIOR UK version "Action Force: The Movie" intro.
I've seen it. I didn't want to link it because it was that bad. D=
Hollywood just keeps raping and raping and raping and raping and raping.....
Is it because he's based off of the wrestler with the same namesake? Oo
Based and voiced by the man himself.
But in all seriousness. This better not be like Street Fighter. Where Cobra Commander's face turns out to be Michael Jackson's or something.
And there needs to be a Transformers cameo somewhere. They technically hail from the same universe, after all.
That guy from the Action Force movie didn't sound European at all.
