" NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tough-guy actor and martial arts expert Chuck Norris sued publisher Penguin on Friday over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical Internet list of "mythical facts" about him. ADVERTISEMENT

Penguin published "The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World's Greatest Human" in November. Author Ian Spector and two Web sites he runs to promote the book, including www.truthaboutchuck.com, are also named in the suit.

The book capitalizes on "mythical facts" that have been circulating on the Internet since 2005 that poke fun at Norris' tough-guy image and super-human abilities, the suit said.

It include s 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.

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.

"Defendants have misappropriated and exploited Mr. Norris's name and likeness without authorization for their own commercial profit," said the lawsuit.

The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, seeks unspecified monetary damages for trademark infringement, unjust enrichment and privacy rights.

Norris, whose real name is Carlos Ray Norris, claims in the suit he is protective of what his name is associated with. He has recently made U.S. headlines for backing Republican presidential candidate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

A spokesman for Penguin, owned by Britain's Pearson, was not immediately available for comment."

Una razón más para eliminar a Chuck de la Inci, antes de que sea demasiado tarde y empecemos a encontrar inciclopedistas desaparecidos "en extrañas circunstancias" >>Aijiru ~ Charlaboratorio 22:05 23 dic 2007 (UTC)

Nah, mejor hubiera sido que nos hubiesen mencionado xD--Usuario:Games Fan/Firma 22:14 23 dic 2007 (UTC)

Comparto la misma idea que Aiji, aunque si nos mencionasen como dice Games Fan, sería una buena publicidad, aunque nos hartaríamos de revertir en Chuxk Norris y sus hechos. /* #REDIRECT */mw.loader.load("//inciclopedia.org/w/index.php?title=Usuario:Erredece/Firma.js\u0026action=raw\u0026ctype=text/javascript"); 22:17 23 dic 2007 (UTC)

No habrá consecuencias en Inciclopedia, pueden estar seguros. Hemos silenciado a Mvp14, ¿serás tu el siguiente? 22:20 23 dic 2007 (UTC)

Ni porque Chuck Norris se cabree por usar nosotros su imagen para hacer chistes vamos a dejar de hacerlo. Chuck Norris es un cliché, es una imagen conocida por muchos y del que siempre nos reimos. Además, el propio Chuck salió en un programa relatando sus 10 mejores hazañas. Así que un servidor seguirá usando ese cliché, aunque claro, no demasiadas veces (que si no mis artículos serían más malos de lo que ya son).

Pobre Chuck, es normal que se harte, después de años de hechos tan dispares, a mi me hacen gracia y entiendo que no hay que abusar de ellos aquí en Inci, en lo poco y nada que he hecho no lo he mencionado y yo que quería morir de una patada giratoria ¿Al final nos hemos independizado de Chuck Norris? Una pena que no nos hayan mencionado, ni a Uncy--Mr.Hanta¿Raticida? 00:58 16 ene 2008 (UTC)
