There is hacktivist group called YESMEN that has successfully created
a WTO.ORG website that many people around the world believe is the
true World Trade Organization's official site. When I saw this
webpage at ANTIWAR.COM, I thought it was another hoax by the YesMen
but, lo and behold, it is not.

The following is an actual GI JOE play set being sold by JC PENNEY'S,
ETOYS (I thought they were dead!) and KBTOYS. It looks like TOYS 'R
US/AMAZON is not selling it (I checked and there is something with
similar wording but no image to identify it).

Just one word --UNBELIEVABLE!

To be fair it isn't a Hasbro GI Joe but a copy made by another company. I
don't see it in the JC Penney's catalog but I do see it at EToys and KBToys.

Do a search from the front homepage for the JC Penney's catalog. It IS there!

I'm wondering why this toy is considered offensive? Or more offensive than a
regular GI Joe?

Modern warfare is street warfare, city warfare, house to house and building
to building. This is exactly the face of war from the front page of the
newspapers. Better for boys to play fantasy war? Desensitization? What?
