Chuck Norris Sues

People scare me far more than the paranormal does ... lol! Here is a bizarre news item that I came across in regard to actor - tough guy Chuck Norris. According to the article Mr Norris is suing a publisher because his tears are not a cure for cancer. Huh?!

Here is a snippet:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tough-guy actor and martial arts expert 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.

Penguin published "The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World's Greatest Human" in November. Author Ian Spector and two Web sites he runs to promote the book, including www.truthaboutchuck.com, are also named in the suit.

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.

It includes such humorous "facts" as "Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried" and "Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits," the suit said, as well as "Chuck Norris can charge a cell phone by rubbing it against his beard."

Told ya this is a weird one. Who would have thought that what seemingly started out as a bit of internet fun would turn so serious.

Dahahaha! I didn't think you could sue for satire. Wow. The world's gone mad. No reasonable person would ever actually believe this sort of thing, but I suppose Mr. Norris feels threatened. Hahahahah.
