Johnny Turk attacks Canada!

You know what's lame? Newsletters, seeing how they're generally used by your annoying family members who think you actually give a fuck if they're shithead kid can ride a bike or not, and community associations telling you when the next event your not going to attend is. But what's lamer is an E-Newsletter combining two lame things: kids toys and Canada (I'm a guy who knows things about Canada I live there) so of course that exists!

I found out about the Canadian Joe newsletter on one of the "HEY GUYS LET'S SPAM THE SAME POST ACROSS 6 BOARDS" posts or on the main page of some site that is really busy but has no actual content. This newsletter is hilarious (not like smash the state, where we're serious about making cool people laugh and nerds cry) I mean it's got all sorts of useless or regurgitated like customizing guides or a fucking wordsearch. Wordsearches are for children, I assume children do not read .pdf's about goddamn action figures.

Then there's the only thing worse than the webcomic, and that's grainy pictures of poorly posed action figures with "witty" banter. Also they're shitty reviews of mass produced customs (An idea totally ripped off from SMASH THE STATE issue #5 that had then "Grad student Hank Miller review the DESIMONE RACECAR DRIVE) oh and "Character spotlights" ya know where some guy talks about action figures while pretending they're actually significant. Also that guy who's a mod at every fourm ever contributes


So pretty much, newsletters are stupid, Canadian joe fans not named Johnny GODDAMN Turk wouldn't understand cool if it beat up their wives and made their parents get divorced

well. i learned that in the gi joe c64 game you can be snow job fighting zartan disguised as recondo in the desert.

so when you think about it... the c64 game was the first ever bad fan-wet-dream dio-story?

do you think that when Ronnie James Dio sees dio-story he gets excited and then is sad about what they actually are?

I learned:

-The Commodore game allowed characters to battle in the dessert.

-You have to read 4 books and a play just to write a filecard.

-That "Plagiarizing directly from sources is kind of lame" (Funny, Hama did that all the time.)

-23 years later, using improved toy making techniques, Bazooka still looks like a moron.

-Toy guides should be judged on how they classify a character that has had at least 4 different code names.

CANADA DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN ELITE ANTI-TERRORISM/COBRA/DRUGS/GAY TEAM!


That's why they need our toys.
