Chuck Norris. Thread

There are two established facts:

Chuck Norris is fuelled by awesome.
Chuck Norris is ultra-conservative.

Now, since I'm ultra-conservative myself, that's all peachy. But what occured to me is that people seem to sweep Chuck Norris's personal views and personality under the rug in order to keep him as an icon. I noticed a similar thing with Owl City - hardcore Christian, but the media and many fans prefer to pretend their idol is 'just like them', so to speak.
Do right-wing celebrities get muzzled?

People like to pretend Chuck Norris is awesome because he kicks people in the face and has a manly beard, not because of his political views. Those are irrelative to his on-air ass-kicking and are thus bears no importance to his meme. A sad and sorry world we live in when people try to make everything political.

Bruce Lee.

Patrick Stewart > Chuck Norris

I have to agree with Cybrid whole-heartedly here. That, and I watch Jon Stewart if I want honest politics.

I pretty much agree with that. I was just curious about the American perception of Chuck Norris as both an icon and an individual. Do conservative Americans look up to him as a role model? Did someone once like\love\adore Chuck, then hate\dislike him when they learnt his personal views?

Whole Chuck Norris thing is funny... But those jokes already made him an icon and people have fun with those jokes.
But also many think those jokes are overused.

The reason I started this thread was because I had put a Chuck Norris joke in the dialogue of a mod I'm working on. Then I realised that I'd caught the tail end of the Chuck Norris meme. It occurs to me now that the meme was very weak because Chuck Norris was a mute figure. Meme-Chuck had no character beyond face-kicking. And what I'm seriously suggesting is that the people who fuelled of the meme choked the meme because they were unwilling to explore Chuck Norris as a real person.

I think people, generally, would sooner create a 'Companion Heart Cube for President 2012' poster than a 'Chuck Norris for President 2012' poster. The interweb peeps have an uneasy relationship with the man, which they dealt with in meme which bordered on mockery at times.

And what I'm seriously suggesting is that the people who fuelled of the meme choked the meme because they were unwilling to explore Chuck Norris as a real person.

Exploring a person isn't the point of memes. Chuck Testa is a person, but you wont find his meme going beyond taxidermy because that isn't what he is famous for. You could say a lot about Nick Cage, but if the joke is his crazy hair then that is the joke, not his thoughts on the economy or immigration. Those arguments are rendered invalid because his hair is a bird.

Let the Chuck Norris thing die already, dang, it's been 6 years.

Anyway, it's always been about Steven Seagal since day one.

None of these facts are actually true.

Chuck Norris isn't that great. Now after my saying that I'm sure someone will track me down and kill me but whatever. Chuck's days have passed.

eheheh i love the video Super Chuck Norris Bros
I don't like to much Norris as actor or action hero, but is a fact that lots of people love him.

I'm kinda bummed that his roles of late have been so forgettable. He seems to be falling into the same pit as Stallone. Instead of trying to be 80's action stars, actors like Norris should try to get cast in something with more depth.
