Well we had to expect the G.I. Joe marketing machine to start sometime soon, since the movie premier is practically around the corner. So it was no surprise to see that the entire G.I. Joe cartoon series was released on DVD in an awesome collector’s set. Spotted on TVShowsonDVD – the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Complete Collector’s Set will feature 50 hours of content including the original commercials, featurettes, cobra tattoos, and the Pièce de résistance – a 2GB G.I Joe Dog Tag. It retails for $145 and if you are going to the SDCC, you can get your hands on one in person. It will totally prep you for the movie which could never do the cartoon any justice.

It seems that Tom Hanks is having a problem discerning where his true gadgets alliances are. At CES just two months ago, he made a grand speech about how much he used Sony products. But then he hit a snafu. “Describing his electronic book, Hanks pretended to call out Amazon.com’s Kindle instead of Sony’s product, saying he’s using ‘The Ki … Sony Digital Reader, which is a fine product in its own right.’” Hmm, Tom?
To make matters worse, we just caught this quote in People magazine from Tom.
“I got a kindle for newspapers and magazines, not for books. Quite frankly, I prefer to buy books from my neighborhood bookstore.” (People magazine, March 30th, 2009).
Well Tom, we only have one thing to say for you and it’s this – you can’t go on on like this, swinging both ways – gadgets have feelings too ya know.
