As part of that mission, the team asked Duke's maker, Hasbro Inc., to remove the customary gun from his side, bringing him in accordance with the Metrodome's no-gun policy. Hand grenades are still visible. ROFLMAO!

...the last place we need to promote war is at our national pastime.Promote war?? Since when does honoring our servicemen promote war? I guess he's against the Air Force, Navy, and Army flybys too? He's not in the real world.

"Whether this is a marketing oversight on the part of the Twins or just browbeating on behalf of the left is immaterial, because at this point the Twins may be dealing with some bad public relations.''

Let me see, you have a choice, you can be a unibrow clod, or be a insensitive dolt.
Either way his suggestion is not to pass out GI Joe.
GO JOE!
America's greatest hero! GI Joe is there!
One thing you have to admit Cobra Commander had a babe on his team.
Sorry, I am an insensitive dolt.

Cool. Scarlett was always my favorite character from the cartoons.
Anybody elese pick out how they removed the guns in "accordance with Metro-Dome rules" but left the hand grenades? Is that implying that hand grenades are ok in the Metro-Dome?

"It's not a credible way to honor those who've suffered the inhumanity of war,'' said Phil Steger, executive director of Friends for a Non-Violent World, a St. Paul-based group with about 4,000 members in Minnesota. Phil's just mad because Barbie has a new Aussie boyfriend and Ken still won't sleep with him...

But while the Twins hand out more freebies than sample day at the grocery store, this rock-jawed promotional trinket with resolute stare and Popeye forearms will meet some resistance from fans blowing through the Metrodome airlocks. To demonstrate this "resistance from fans", the author quotes:
John Varone, a Vietnam veteran and president of the Twin Cities chapter of Veterans for Peace,
Phil Steger, executive director of Friends for a Non-Violent World, and
Mary Beaudoin, a leader of Women Against Military Madness.
Three professional whiners. Not a "fan" amongst them. The team announced the promotion and the reporter called up the "usual suspects" for reaction, then stated that this was the reaction of the "fans".

OFFICIAL TWINS STATEMENT TO THE WHINERS: The twins will not succumb to the hysterical cries from a handful of un-patriotic, un-American special interst groups. If they don't like our giveaway they simply need not attend. Also, we are please to announce that the give-away number of "Duke" soldiers has been tripled.

Well, let the crabasses stand along side and offer bobble head dolls of their hero Michael Moore.
Then we'll see who is America's hero!
