http://www.realultimatepower.net (CNN) -- A single mother leads a coalition to call for more repsonsibility in controlling information produced from the internet. Her first target--a website about ninjas.
Mutton, South Carolina--Margerie Evans, a single mother of three, filed charges on Monday against Robert Hamburger, a 10-year-old Los Angelean, for his portrayal of ninjas in a popular website.
"This young man is encourganging the youth to physically act out violence. Doesn't [Robert] remember Columbine? Where was he on September 11th?" said Ms. Evans in a statement to Reuters. In a prelimary trial, Ms. Evans stated that because of realultimatepower.net, her children have been climbing on the furniture, beating on cats, and "spitting up all over the damn place."
The website Ms. Evans is talking about is a passionate, but slanted, exposé on the ways of the ninja. In it, Robert Hamburger details various facts about ninjas such as:
1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas flip out all the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.
and the like. Ms. Evans reports that it is Robert's authoritative tone that makes the site so convincing to children.
"Ms. Evans is a hard working Christian mother who is just trying raise her kids right. How can she do that when you've got demented little boys filling the internet with violent lies? People believe anything if it's presented on the internet. It's a dangerous medium that must be controlled carefully" said Ms. Evans' attorney on Monday.
When asked about the lawsuit, Robert Hamburger replied "Ms. Evans is a frigg'n idiot. She needs to shut her mouth right now or I'm going to take a skinny dump on her scalp. "
Despite the lawsuit, Robert says he will continue to tell people how sweet ninjas are "no matter what" and pork as many hot babes as it takes.
