Poor Mojo's Newswire

GI Joe Toy Commercials from the 80's Every commercial has some weird song about America rock and rolling her enemies or Cobra genetically engineering a despot or something. They really don't make commercials like this anymore. I'd love to see an episode of Mad Men set in 1985 where Don Draper is all, "We just need to tell them in the jingle that if their parents don't buy them a top hovercraft then the evil Armies of COBRA win. Go Joe!" and then he sings the commercial jingles while doing lines off a Hiss Tank.

I went from really loving Jackson 5 songs to admiring Michael Jackson's Thriller-era talent to despising the cynical cultural project of Jacksonmania that ate my adolescence to sneering at the crazy celebrity to shaking my head at the sick man who would always be the little boy who just wanted to play with other kids instead of getting beaten by Joe when he messed up his dance steps. And that's who I mourn today. The lesson: Despite your child's talent, please respect his or her childhood. Our children are not our children... they are themselves. And I marvel at his influence -- no matter what kind of po-mo hipster you were, you couldn't help but namecheck MJ. YouTube - Minutemen- Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing

I have no idea what this is from or what it's trying to teach. Maybe we need a WTF? category on the Newswire for moments like this?
