   I read that, post 9/11, Hasbro stopped calling Cobra "terrorist." We got so scared that terrorism is too bad for bad guys now.

     @scribus remember when they changed the villains in Sum of All Fears film adaptation from Islamists to NeoNazis?

     @scribus Part of the reason the G.I. Joe toyline has been failing is that "army guys in combat fatigues fighting terrorists" is the unfortunate reality for the parents of many American children

     @awl No, but I remember when James Bond was cool with Islamic rebels because at the time they opposed the Soviets instead of America.
