Cobra Commander, armed with voice box and oxygen tank, teaches kids about the dangers of spray painting.

Juvenile Minds presents an original sketch parodying the classic G.I. Joe PSAs. In this PSA, an ailing Cobra Commander straps on the oxygen tank, grabs the voice box, and checks himself out of hospice to address the dangerous lure of graffiti.

Starring the esteemed Cutis Willis as the failing Cobra Commander.
Portraying the hapless kids will be:

Don’t forget to check out the G.I. Joe PSA Dumpster Diving from Juvenile Minds.

The Original, undubbed GI Joe PSA [no porkchop sandwiches here!] featuring the slogan “knowing is half the battle.” Remember kids. Don’t take drugs without your parents around. Wait for them to come home before you have fun!

Head down to the local toy store and you’ll get a close look at the new Cobra Commander from the upcoming G.I. Joe flick. The toys are out in public to buy and here’s our first look at one version of the evil henchman.  Check out your local Target for these as well as the bigger 10″ versions.

Our generation grew up with the toys that kept us busy until we figured out that girl cooties are a good thing so we hold a close fascination with the project even though it’s being directed by the “Mummy Returns” guy.  We’re still not sold on the flick and wonder if it will come out like a lamb [ like "Terminator: Salvation] or will it be a lion [like "Star Trek"]?

The juicy role of Cobra Commander is being played by former child star Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  If that name is not familiar than just try to remember the kid  from the sitcom “3rd Rock From The Sun.”

Yep.  Tommy’s all grown up and trying to take over the world.  Of course he looks like a burn victim with a bunch of medical weapons.  Watch out!  He’s gonna Bo-tox you!

While we’re sure that the producers wanted to keep Levitt in character and masked at the same time [hence the transparent mask] we wonder about the look of the new Cobra Commander.  As you can see in this trailer, Cobra Commander still has hair and doesn’t look like a pot roast yet so he must have fallen asleep on the tanning bed somewhere during the course of the movie.

Now the Neo-Viper [see below] is looking pretty mean so we see what they might be going after.  However, we say slap the silver faceplate back on Cobra and use the transparent stuff for Scarlett!
