Tough-guy actor and martial arts expert Chuck Norris has sued publisher Penguin over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical internet list of "mythical facts" about him.
**
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."

"Some of the 'facts' in the book are racist, lewd or portray Mr Norris as engaged in illegal activities," the lawsuit alleges.



Boo to Chuck! *runs off to change her name so he doesn't find her*

chuck is down with all that stuff, he even went on tv and read some. this is probably because he gets zero dollars from the book.

^^ I thought I read the same thing somewhere, that he didn't really care about all those internet "facts". I call shenanigans.

That was before someone else was making money off them.


Also, Norris is a religious nut.

Norris, who rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s as the star of such films as The Delta Force and Missing in Action, says the book's title would mislead readers into thinking the facts were true.


Bahah

Obama, unfortunate name for a US candidate.

Apparently they think Opera's backing will give considerable votes. Apparently she is considered by some to be one of the most powerful woman in the world (influence wise).

yeah she seriously is toll. she basically controls the 40+ year old woman vote, which hillary is counting on as one of her strong points as well.

just look at what happens when she recommends a book/product, america sells out of it days after the show. she has an insane amount of influence on middle aged women.

i dunno, hillary is kind of shooting herself in the foot at the moment with all her crazy bitchiness and negative campaigning - pretty sure her numbers are dropping.

and i seriously wouldn't underestimate the influence oprah could have

If Oprah herself was running she's be a shoe in ... black woman beats black man and white woman

What bothers me it seems this campaign has been going for like a year now, but the next president won't be inaugurated until 2009!

This isn't the presidential campaign though.

Its the nominating campaign for a presidential candidate.

Obama/Clinton are both running to represent the same party.

I wouldn't be suprised if it ends up as an Obama/Clinton combined ticket for Pres/VP.

OIC, that explains why there are so many motherf***ers in this thing

yeah, it's the democrat/republican primaries - each party nominates their candidate for the presidency.

f2b a clinton/obama ticket would never happen, their policies are far too different and clinton especially has already attacked obama pretty harshly.
