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.

No, seriously, wtf?

The "facts" that are lewd or racial i can see him being upset about, but I was sure I'd read in other articles how he was amused with most of the "facts" ... I'm afraid that Chuck will start the Chuck Norris revolution going stronger because of the law suit lol

It's parody, and very obvious parody at that. His lawyers need to grow a brain.

Dude thinks he's gonna be President of the country of Texas. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm pretty sure he's around the bend.

He's as fucking batshit as Victoria Jackson. I think they both need hormone replacement therapy.

He should ask Jerry Falwell how his case turned out.

Apples and oranges. The courts hold magazines to a standard not much higher than a newspaper. And Falwell's suit was tossed out except for emotional distress which was decided at the USSC. This is a 170+ page book totally about Chuck written wihout his permission and making false claims.

It's a parody, which is protected under the first amendment. Same reason stand-up comics aren't sued every night.

Parody as a method of satirical comment or critique is protected under the 1st amendment as far as the subject cannot sue for distress. Making up a book about someone and selling it for cash is not satire......it is making a profit off someone else's image which they have a right to protect and profit from.

If you can find 12 people in the same jury pool who actually believe that Chuck Norris's beard contains a third fist and that he randomly dropkicks people so hospitals have something to do, I URGE you to join his legal team and post a copy of the complaint you file here. Please. I'm begging you.

Jesus' WWJD bracelet lawsuit is sure to follow.
