Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Oops. GI Joe has more uses after all. What kind of twisted mind would come up with that type of hoax though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 A certain group of people comes to mind. Edit: that sounded really bad, I meant anyone who does this sort of thing in real life probably wouldn't have any qualms about doing it with action figures.

ecoli Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I saw that picture in the newspaper today...it looked fishy to me...but the article was serious, so I assumed I was mistaken about the fasleness of the picture. I'm suprized there isn't more news coverage about it being a hoax. If I can tell then surely anone could. edit: I expect the only media to take the pictur seriously is the tabloids. the headline reads: "US Military breeds new soldier with plastic head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I guess the Mujahedeen are learning from Osama bin Laden, who got us to spend billions when he only spends enough to buy video tapes and flying lessons. The media is a bit jumpy, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
