Chuck Norris Sues Publisher, Tears Don't Cure Cancer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-he-does-cry-a-lot dept.

Google85 writes "Chuck Norris sued publisher Penguin on Friday over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical Internet list of "mythical facts" about him. The book capitalizes on "mythical facts" that have been circulating on the Internet since 2005 that poke fun at Norris' tough-guy image and super-human abilities, the suit said."

    Note that the parent comment intended to express an opinion about how Chuck Norris tries to portray himself. So, it should have said, "... the way Chuck Norris wants you to think about him, and that entire model of what it means to be male, is stupid."

  2. You have been fooled by publicists. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    "... used that fame and fortune to help kids in many challenged walks of life."

    Apparently you don't know that celebrities have publicists who find a "charitable" cause for photo shoots. Seeming charitable activity distracts people, easily, from the bad things celebrities do. Bill Gates uses this method.

    Think about it, do you really think that Pamela Anderson is interested in charitable activities? P.A. graphs and calculations: If Pamela continues at her current rate of expansion, this is what she will look like by the year 2023.

    Now my original post, Chuck Norris is dead..., is marked "(Score:-1, Flamebait)" People who live in fantasy worlds are easily manipulated.
