Rampage!

A cinematic version of the old TV show "The A Team" opens today. This pretty much completes the cycle of resurrecting TV shows for nostalgic Children of the 80s what with "Scooby Doo" and the like already having graced the silver screen. Next up, a
3-D blockbuster version of those ubiquitous Suzanne Somers Thighmaster infomercials directed by James Cameron!

The original "A Team" players being somewhat long in the tooth (or no longer with us in the case of George Peppard), the 2010 film required an all-new cast :

Hannibal - Liam Neeson. How low can a classically-trained actor go to gain a paycheck?
Face - Bradley Cooper. Here's a guy who really does need a paycheck.
Murdock - Sharlto Copley. Sharlto? How did he survive Middle School without getting beaten to a pulp just because of that name?
B.A. Baracus - Rampage Jackson

Now, there's a name - Rampage Jackson. Imagine his kindergarten teacher calling the class roll - Tiffany? Justin? Kayleigh? Rampage? Uh-oh. I'd better keep an eye on that one.

Parents tend to name their newborns after famous folk of their era. There were a flock of baby Britneys when Ms Spears was riding high. Should "The A Team" become the first step toward super-stardom for Mr Jackson, kindergartens in 2015 may be chock-full of young Rampages.

Parents would then lament, "Everyone is naming their kid Rampage. We need something different. How about Pillage or Reckless?

American kindergartens in 2016 will have a roll call like those in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. "Rampage and Pillage, you two stop beating up on those British kids and don't you dare plunder their castle / home!" It will be the Dark Ages all over again.
