a guy dupes a bunch of people and gets away? sounds like allegory to something pretty obvious to me... religion? politics? maybe its just an animated film...

in case you missed it the point was Buyer Beware, pretty simple. Even the seller himself was an illusion...

Hmmm, some sort of pied piper effect there at the end. Nerds beware.

Professional ass-shakers beware.

Attention shoppers: Beware of stupid drunk guy driving his car in aisle 9!!! *promote

You mean that the kid chopping up water bottles in his driveway isn't a professional assassin because his sword isn't expensive enough? Thanks for clearing that up.
>> ^ChaosEngine:
The sword he's using is a "Musashi Damacus Katana", which is a whopping $180 on their website.
Now call me skeptical, but I do not believe you can buy a quality sword for $180 (given that a decent blunt iaito starts at around $600 and a proper shinken starts at several thousand).
So really, this is just some muppet with a crappy sword who thinks he's a "ninja".



The deal with Cold Steel blades is that for the price, you get better steel and better precision craftsmanship than someone in their class 500 years ago could never have or afford. They are strong n durable, sharp as fuck, and they take an edge like nobody's business. I have had and still have several examples of Cold Steel's folders and fixed blades. Good shit, highly recommended.

Anyone consider that this might just be a dude with a serious dose of self-irony, and the balls to make fun of himself?


i laugh at this line of reasoning... if he is someone who has an incredible sense of irony, and the balls to make fun of himself... HE MADE THIS EXPECTING TO BE MADE FUN OF

meaning everyone but the people "stepping in to combat internet bullying" are IN ON THE JOKE, or at least taking an active role in it

the only people not.... internet bully police

and if he didn't do it for that reasoning, it doesn't mean it's wrong to make fun of it either...
political correctness and sensitivity are EVILS in today's society and actually work to the detriment of harmony and understanding

everything is not equal, if everything isn't game
and nothing is TOO SERIOUS to make fun of

DrewNumberTwo kinda stole my thunder (and eloquently at that), but perhaps there's still enough room to ask: how do you know so much about ancient japanese weapons without evidence of such study confining your own self to a certain stereotype that this young man belongs to as well?


Well, aside from the fact that I wasn't really taking it all that seriously (see my reply to drew), I've studied Aikido (including bokken work) for a good few years now and I'm currently looking into getting an iaito (hence looking at the prices of them) and starting Iaido once I get through my next grading. I wouldn't claim to be an expert in any way, but I know enough to recognise this as bullshit.

As for stereotyping myself, I'll happily admit that if anyone shows the slightest interest, I will bore them to death talking about Aikido (of which I know a little bit) and martial arts in general (of which I know bugger all).

But I don't go around cutting bottles in half with a pos "sword" and putting it on youtube.

I dunno, I can buy a steak knife capable of killing someone for a couple of euro.>> ^ChaosEngine:

You're welcome. It is my sacred duty to point these things out on the internet, and I am 100% serious about it all the time.
