Shaolin temple demands apology for ninja insult

[matgb]

They're, um, a bit touchy these Chinese martial artists n'est ce pas?

The moral of this tale? Do not be insulting the good name of Kung Fu, for they're watching your anonymous posts on obscure internet forums and may get all legal on your arse...

---

There are no ninja. Ninja do not exist. They are mere peasant stories, superstitions, excuses. The ninja do not exist, they have never existed. We destroyed them all. They're all gone.

Just to be clear...

I saw that this morning and it immediately made me think of this:

Maybe if this happened more often, people would be less likely to post bullshit. Instead of passing on a FOF story as gospel truth, they'd try looking it up to make sure their facts are right.

Nah. It'll take more than that to fix Fox 'News."

Heh. It'd be difficult to put into words how insulting that is (even taking into account that talking untrue shit is the entire point of the internet, and they're crazy to get worked up at one lone user).

There are no ninjas, except the officially sanctioned ones (ie: Dr Hatsumi). I definitely don't have any belts in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, for example :)

Damn right! Anyone foolish enough to dis the Fu should have the ghost of Bruce Lee come and kicks their ass from beyond the grave!

I would so get China's phone directory and start apologizing to all of China, one person at a time - on the internets. A big list, with an individual apology to each and every one on them.
