Chuck Norris Sues Publisher, Tears Don't Cure Cancer

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."

    Ha! I've been saying it all along, and now it just proves that Chuck Norris is, in fact, a giant wuss. He's such a goddamned crybaby that he has to sue people making a satirical book about him.

    Look for him to be shilling for ambulance chasers soon.

    People should also be aware that Chuck Norris supports right-wing whacko Mike Huckabee.

    So Chuck, just like other people (Ted Nugent, Charlton Heston, Ronald Reagan), becomes far less of an interesting character with the more you learn about them. Yeah, they may be famous, but they just happen to support a hate-based belief system.

    It's very sad, actually. Sad that a person of such low moral character became famous, and can now use that fame to promote their whacky and stupid belief system.

    Or maybe you've got a hard-on for Ron "closet neo-Nazi" Paul? Talk about a "hate-based belief system"...

    And where does "tear down this wall" fit into your fantasy "hate-based belief system"? If Ronald Reagan's philosophy was so hate-based, why then when that wall was torn down people streamed from East to West? If your pipe dreams of what's "hate-based" were true, the people would have streamed the other way.

    If your pipe dreams were true, there wouldn't be an policy argument in the US right now about whether we need to keep people OUT.

    So why don't you just shove that bo-bo chic Che Guevera t-shirt of yours up your ass so it can keep your two brains cells company?

    If you really want to learn all about a "hate-based belief system", read the Koran. There's a reason why all those "infidel" hostages get beheaded, and it's in that book. You don't think Islam is hate-based? Why don't take a Koran and do with it what Andres Serrano did with a Crucifix. Then go to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia with it.

    I'll bet you haven't got the balls to do that.

    But boy, you can "speak truth to power" when you've got nothing at risk, can't you?
