Chuck Norris Gets Tough

[Quote]THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - "Trading karate chops for lawyers, tough guy actor Chuck Norris is going to the courts to take on a new book titled "The Truth About Chuck Norris," saying it's a big lie and he wants to stop its distribution.

On Friday, Norris sued Penguin Group Inc. and the book's creator, Ian Spector, saying his good image is being spoiled by a book that depicts him as callous and unlawful, and which he says includes false information that is sometimes racist and lewd.

In a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the actor, whose real name is Carlos Ray Norris, says the preface of the book refers to meetings between Norris and Spector, an undergraduate at Brown University, and the book also thanks Norris for "playing along."

But, the lawsuit said, Norris never authorized Penguin or its Gotham Books division to use his name, image or likeness in connection with commercial sales of the book, which was published Nov. 29.

The lawsuit said Norris told Penguin it was not authorized to publish the book but the publisher rejected Norris's claims. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, a halt to publication and a recall of books already sold.

A message left with a spokesman for Penguin was not immediately returned.

Norris, an author himself of fiction and nonfiction books, has been in more than 20 films. The actor was a six-time undefeated World Professional Middle Weight Karate champion who in 1997 became the first man in the Western Hemisphere to be awarded an 8th degree Black Belt Grand Master recognition in the Tae Kwon Do system, the lawsuit said."

follower of the child's crusade?
 
Ian Spector apparently must want to die by roundhouse kick to the face?

There is no chin under Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

You don’t misspell Chuck Norris’ name; your hands shake so badly you can’t type it correctly.

Just for the record, the guy who started the new wave of Chuck Norris jokes recently stated "Every time I see a Chuck Norris joke, I want to drown myself for making that thread."
