Retraction: Chuck Norris Doesn’t Want to Give You His Autograph
On August 21, we reported the breaking news that Chuck Norris had been signed to make a celebrity appearance at the Steel City Con toy convention. To the great dismay of Chuck Norris fans everywhere, it seems the Steel City Con people were, um, conned. The talent agency that promised to deliver Chuck Norris to the toy convention does not actually represent Chuck Norris at all.
So how does this happen? Is this a new teen prank call technique, to make phone calls claiming to be someone’s agent? “Yeah, hi, listen I’ve got Miley Cyrus here and she’s got nothing to do this Saturday, so we were thinking, you know, that she could, uh, drop by and sign some John Hancocks. Do we have a deal? Cool. And hey, uh, can you pay me in cash?”
The Steel City people have posted the explanation and apology here.
