Are they going to sue Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro now too? Or is it only if he loses to a ninja?
You can’t take the Farkers too seriously. Thanks to Internet anonymity, all Farkers are thin, witty, athletic, attractive, card-carrying Mensans who have six-figure jobs. They’d use their intellect for the good of mankind, but they are too busy screwing a different model/movie star every night in the back of their sports cars.
The political flamewars are pretty good. Though I am digging the Chuin quotes on the thread in question.

Must…not…oh the hell with it. Ninjas vs. Shaolin = Serial bithness
There’s more than a grain of truth to that. (I’ve been there.)
-
If they are Chinese males, they are probably chain smokers.
-
It is a commercial endeavor above all. There are dozens of “Shaolin” schools in the area around the actual temple. There are about 40,000 students all together from primary school through high school age.
-
There is a more or less school associated with the temple. Nobody actually trains at the temple.
-
People pay to send their kids there, just like the would any private school.
-
Students train different disciplines of MA, qigong, etc. Taekwondo seems to be quite popular. (Remember the Chinese are very big on the Olympics especially with 2008 coming.) I assume different schools have different specialties.
-
You too can visit the temple for a modest entrance fee, just like any other tourist attraction in China.
Those adjectives don’t compute well together :5bullwhip
Bevets - need I say more
Fark poster beat me to it. Where is the Wu Tang Clan on this one? I mean this is just perfect for one of their songs.
I’m actually living in Beijing right now and yes, almost every male and a lot of the females i know chain smoke 
Not EVERYONE in China buys into the Shaolin thing. There’s some pretty tough San Da guys that train with us, but there’s still way WAY too many people that think Shaolin stuff works in real fights. And even worse is having to listen to white guys over here that do kung fu tell me how there’s monks in the mountains that could own the ufc if they wanted, but they don’t compete etc etc.
They probably just made a big deal because Shaolin is a national icon and they HATE Japan, but I still can’t figure out why they’d put out international press releases to attack an internet troll. I really hope these MA orgs don’t discover bullshido and do this all the time. I could see it now: “Bujinkan furious over ‘bullshido’ affront to ninjistu” etc etc etc.
MSN even has a live vote “Could a ninja beat a bunch of Shaolin Monks?”
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20535495/
That’s funny as hell. Go vote up Chuck Norris!!!
Mine as well. Also, did not ever see MA in the news section.
well. if they get so rield over an internet comment, im going to tempt fate.
shaolin is the ghey. Even ninjers can beat them all blindfolded and with poisoned shuriken up their jacksies.
This is like a yellow bamboo guy bitching because a Dillman student claims to have no-touch KO’ed a bunch of his fellow chi jerks…
Supposedly, there are lawsuits concerning Dillman and the Dim Mak.
I just couldn’t resist…
Could a ninja defeat the entire Shaolin Temple? If that Ninja’s name was Chuck Norris (or the new Chuck Norris: Randy Couture) he sure could. Randy Couture’s greco takedowns are so good, he would just pick up the whole temple off the mountain and smash it on the ground with a flying headbutt! :BangHead:
that could be the funniest thing i’ve seen all week
This is the funniest thing ever. I only regret that someone else posted it before me.
Wouldn’t a real buddhist monk be more concerned with becoming enlightened…ie not having a bruised ego? Could it be that there is bad blood between the chinese and the japanese LARPers?
If this artice said “Bigfoot defeats ten Shaolin monks” I might believe it; but everyone knows Japanese Ninjas don’t exist anymore.
