Yo, Joe vs. Go, Joe!: What's going on?

[Darthkush]

I wonder if I'm the only person noticing this but I'm starting to question it. I've noticed that many webmasters in their various reviews and comments on the new film are saying, "Go, Joe" alot. Why? See, I grew up with G.I. Joe and I thought it 's always been, "Yo, Joe". Now, many of said webmasters who are saying, "Go" are a lot older than me. They're in their late 30's early 40's while many of the people my age(i'm 26) or slightly older(up till about 36 or so) all say, "yo, joe". So...my question is, during the Kung fu grip doll era, was it "go, joe" and the older guys are saying what they know or are they simply messing up, Yo Joe.

A silly question but I'm at boxofficeguru.com right now and I just saw "go, joe" AGAIN for like the 5th time in the past few days and I had to say something.

Odd that I saw this thread, because I was just thinking about last night during the midnight showing some fat guy kept yelling "GO JOE!" and my friend said "Isn't it YO JOE?".

Not sure. Im one of those "old guys" LOL, Im 36 and grew up on ARAH. Its Yo Joe. Heavy Duty even says it in the film. Not sure where the GO Joe is coming from.

Is it possible there's a contingent of folks who misheard it years ago and thought they heard Go Joe instead? When I was a kid watching ninja turtles, I thought it was "calabunga" instead of cowabunga for a couple of years lol.
