As August 7th draws ever closer, more and more promotion for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA is approaching. The following info comes from Phil Kost on JoeReloaded.com:

Also, courtesy of tkprime and SNAKE EYES on HissTank.com, Adult Swim will be showing a special exclusive trailer this Friday night at midnight. So, fire up those DVR’s or sit down and catch some TV this week…
EDIT- The AdultSwim trailer is apparently SUNDAY at midnight, not Friday. Thanks to tkprime for the heads up.
