Chuck Norris puts his foot down. You know what that means...

...We're all fucked.

Seriously though, Chuck is suing a publishing company for using his likeness and name in a book that wraps all those cheesy one-liners about him across the Internet in one binding.

Though, it's pretty damned hypocritical if you ask me, since he recently had an ad with Mike Huckabee using some of the same lines from the site thats now promoting his book... (http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/)

Here's that Huckabee ad. Watch him fail on the delivery of these lines...

Here's another video with Norris himself reading them and laughing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8QAeoFdM5g&NR=1

That was my first thought as I recalled seeing that countdown of him reading the lines himself before saying they were so bad in this suit, then again, when he's reading them for his own promotion, I'm sure they're not so bad to him.

So, it might not be hypocritical at all if he's not getting a cut of the green that he'd like in the case of this book. :daiba: $$$

Chuck Norris doesn't file a lawsuit, he ... oh, well. There goes THAT schtick. Thanks a lot Chuck. Now what am I going to do with these 10 DVDs of Sidekick I was saving for my kids and grandkids to watch?

Those one-liners sure are bad, but they're still better than anything he ever starred in.

a book that depicts him as callous and unlawful and which he says includes false "facts" that are sometimes racist and lewd.

Awww man, racist and lewd? Unlike all those super classy movies like "Missing in Action"!
