In the news

Wilson, Oklahoma, is Chuck Norris' hometown. They have it painted on the water tower there.

Well, earlier this week the Class of 2011 pranked the water tower. They hung a banner saying "Seniors 2011" over Norris' name.

People are talking about how "foolish" and "dangerous" the prank was - because someone could have fallen or gotten hurt. What they're not considering is what Chuck Norris could do to those kids if he took it in his mind to. (I think being able to telepathically kick butts is one of the facts about Chuck Norris)

(I will it makes me a little sad to read about people saying that they should paint over Norris' name and replace it with the name of the local high school team or something. Because Norris is nationally known...and he's really not as much a thing of the past as people are saying.)

I will say I don't think the kids should face charges...maybe they and their families should be charged for the cost of safely removing the banner (I presume the firefighters or someone could do that), but not criminal charges. (And the whole "someone could be killed" - yeah, sure, but that could also happen when they're riding the bus to or from school. Yes, climbing a water tower is risky, but so are lots of other things in life)
