 Chuck Norris sues, says his tears no cancer cure
Chuck Norris sues, says his tears no cancer cure
The Chuck Norris meme is getting really old, but Penguin is trying to wring a little more money from it by publishing the list of Chuck Norris "facts". These are very old and done tounge-in-cheek. Chuck Norris, understandably, takes offense that someone is profiting off his name. picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

You don't understand...

Underneath Chuck Norris's beard is another fist.

But underneath that is a man asking for help.

And underneath that man is another man who realizes he's finally hit the rock bottom of stardom and won't make anymore "serious" money ever. So he has to do something.

Chuck Norris doesn't Accept the fact that his Tears Cure Cancer, If you try to proove him wrong he'll just sue you.


Is there a Disclaimer on the book that reads, only people with IQs below -32 will actually believe everything in this book? OBVIOUSLY Chuckie...your tears dont cure cancer or every scientist on the planet, among the sick people would be tourtuing the living f**k out of you.

Does this remove the whole Freedom of Speech thing we have? Or did he actually write that everything is true in the book?

They'll thank him some day if he wins. Penguin publishing a book of Chuck Norris jokes is like The New Yorker publishing naked pictures of Paris Hilton.

One time, a publisher attempted to make money off of Chuck Norris' name; Chuch slapped them with class action a law suit.


Nah, just doesn't the same ring to it.

You can't write just ANYTHING with the Freedom of speech. You can't.. for examnple..

"Paris Hilton's Diary!"

Why? Because it belongs to her. Or if it's not really her diary, then you are writing something which is capitalizing on her name. You're allowed to write the things inside it and publish it under "My Diary!" but not hers. THAT is the freedom of speech. You can write...

George bush is an idiot.

All you want. You can claim that the US is a big pile of crud if you so wish without worry that someone will knock on your door and arrest you for it. None of this has anything to do with the fact that you can't capitalize on someone elses name.

The "Freedom of Speech" is probably the most misunderstood freedom that we have. People (especially on the internet) tend to use it as a blanket authority to do whatever they want. It's not. It was never intended to allow you to literally get away with murder and then claim it's your right to kill someone because it was your 'speech'.

Put another way... The right to swing your fist in the air ends where someone elses face begins.

I heard that it's not illegal to say you want to kill the president, if you add with a mortar launcer after it, ~ True?

« germz : I heard that it's not illegal to say you want to kill the president, if you add with a mortar launcer after it, ~ True?
It's illegal to say to the President "I'm going to kill you."

It's not illegal to say to an audience of 100,000 people "If the president makes me jump through his doggie door one more time I'm gonna bite him in the arse so hard that he'll be dead in the morning"

Same message, but one is considered a death threat while the other is (considered?) humor. It depends on intent and situation. You aren't allowed to threaten someone, but the second really isn't a threat is it? You can agree that the president really needs to be hung for war crimes without saying that You're going to kill him.

Freedom of speech is not a freedom to do what you want and then back it up with "Well, I'm allowed to say anything I want."

I hope you aren't suggesting that Chuck Norris needs more than one fist.

"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"

WHAT!? I'm going to go and have a stroke now...

I was just about to quote that part too, sofsr - some of these facts are OBVIOUSLY not true, and just for fun.

For example, i doubt anyone would actually believe the 'he has a fist instead of a chin' line. *sigh*
All for no fun and profit.

Also, the bad grammar in the title bothers me and yet amuses me at the same time... Hmm.
