Okay, I've been having this problem for a while now. And it's finally got to the point where I'm going to talk about it on my blog (get ready). I don't understand this American obsession with ninjas. I especially see it with 'nerd' cultures such as video games, comic books, anime, internet, etc. They use not only this word but the outfits for EVERYTHING and it's not cool anymore. I'm getting sick of things like Dr. Mcninja, Ask a Ninja, Naruto, and screen names like NinjaSquid, girlninja42, etc. Just because you add the word ninja to it does NOT make it cool! NO! Stop right now!I just can't take it and it has nothing to do with bastardizing culture this time. Ninjas were just mercenaries in Japan so I have nothing against using their name for anything. I mean, mercenaries do anything for a buck right? Why not sell your title?
On another point they don't even look that cool. Samurai's had much more awesome outfits...At least they knew how to use color!
Anyways, I'm absolutely appalled at this overuse of ONE word. This internet thing needs more originality. Originality the word Ninja is slowly consuming with it's overuse!
