Action figures haven't gotten much action around Bostonist headquarters recently. The last time the G.I. Joe snuck into our lives was when we discovered a wonderful set of dubbed "knowing is half the battle" PSA's that were floating around the internets. The best one might be "porkchop sandwiches." But there's a new Joe on the block. Pros vs. G. I. Joes pits the army action figures against sports players – including the Red Sox's own Manny Ramirez. In the video (from yardbarker and embedded below) Manny is, of course, being Manny. Or should we say Santa Manny. He takes it to Joe's Roadblock. Watch it and you've only wasted three minutes of your day.
