Hmm, honestly I didn't find the PSAs entertaining in the least bit, but that still doesn't mean Hasbro should freak out and demand that they be taken down like that. Are they afraid that the good name of GI Joe and their shitty 80's cartoon might be sullied?

"Does your mother still hang out at dockside bars?"

"Get that kid off my ice you little wankers."

The thing that gets me is why protect the identity of the law firm? If this situation were to be in a court of law it would be a matter of public record anyway.

Read on their forums they wont take them down without a fight. And trademarked or not, Im pretty sure that they are protected under the parody law.

Being that you were born when the GI Joe cartoon was out on television, you will not remember it. But jokes aside:

GI Joe was an afterschool cartoon during the mid to late '80's. But even before that it was also an action figure dating back to 1964. Back when action figures where a foot (12") tall.

1964
G.I. JOE Action Figure makes his debut as an 11-1/2 inch "doll" for boys with 21 moving parts. He is named G.I. JOE after the movie "The Story Of G.I. JOE." G.I. JOE becomes the first boy's "Action Figure" in the world.

1967
G.I. JOE line expands to include talking figures. Hasbro Canada produces the Canadian Mountie set.

1969
G.I. JOE line expands to include all categories of U.S. armed forces and numerous foreign armed forces. Hasbro decides the name "G.I. JOE" will represent not only the action figures, but the entire product line - a brand is born.

Errr... I was being sarcastic. Haha.

If I didn't know about something, I'd probably load up yahoo/google and do a search before posting.

But thanks for the info. Most of that stuff I didn't know.

NP. I wasn't trying to joke I just realised you bday was in 84/85 and figured you wouldn't have heard about the cartoon.

I remember watching it as soon as I ran home from high school. This was before the internet and Nintendo even came around for anyone. The lame PSA's always had me lmao. They never had one on the dangers of smoking weed or some other real issues. I wonder why.
