In 28 years, I hadn't thought of it until this year. I'm going as "GI Joe" this Halloween. But I'm not going as just any GI Joe.
If anyone remembers the old GI Joe cartoon show, the end of almost every episode had an animated Public Service Announcement (PSA) teaching kids about safety. Well, a few years back, some filmmaker decided to re-dub and slightly alter the animation, with some hilarious results.

GI Joe - "And knowing is half the battle!"
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

The new cable channel, The Hub, airs the original G.I. Joe cartoons every night. I tuned in one night to see if they would air the safety lessons that appeared at the end of the show, but alas, the Hub has cut them. :(
