Our top five videos of 2009: War is Hell

No one could anticipate the carnage at this year’s International G.I. Joe Convention, which Kansas City was lucky enough to host. Especially at the event’s Joe Drop, where 300 12-inch G.I. paratrooper dolls were tossed off the roof of the Hyatt to a ravenous mass of children and man-children below. Grown men knocked over kids, kids knocked over kids, grown men escaped mostly unscathed. The smart ones ran away as soon as they had a doll in hand. Then there was this poor bastard, who couldn’t move fast enough to escape an angry mother with a toyless child. We were there to capture it all.
