Why go "Go G I Joe" ???
I had assumed I am bidding farewell to my stint at blogging.. but then I stil had some worhtless thoughts which simply had to be put in paper.. so that firstly I gauge my intensity towards it and secondly cos hey!! the topic is worth it!!
Yesterday I watched G I Joe.. one hell of a movie with all its action n the special effects.. totally worth watching.. but i couldnt help but appreciate the US s smartness in its toys too!! Jus imagine.. It gives its kids toys.. and what are the toys? the Almighty army men.. and what are the implied features of these tiny soldiers? that they are the best armymen in teh world.. one hell of a smart move.. the kids are brought up with this thought.. they re inspired by their own army men.. and its natural for them to start wanting to be one too.. and the best part is all thanks to their marketing, kids all over play and worship the G I Joes.. translates to: kids all over play with the US Soldiers! hatsoff to the US once more.. Its high time we launch an Indian army superhero.. it seems like such a fantastic thing to happen though.. lets just wait n watch:-)
Completely agree...I wouldn't mind playing with the Indian version !!

ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteBut then do you think that just bringing out an Indian super hero is a crux to this problem if it is a problem that is. In fact bringing out an Indian superhero would actually mean that the unintentional purpose of these foreign toys are served.. Imagine a world without the influence of the developed world on our changing habits ... Today u feel a need for an Indian superhero toy cause u see the GI JOE's making a mark amongst the kids.. Its all a cycle.. U cant stop blaming the west for its ways .. but then we should not forget, we have opened up and in such a strong position due to globalization...
