Chuck Norris's Legacy Lives On

0:00Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, two minutes of pop culture that matter. Chuck Norris, the legendary action star and martial artist from martial artists from Walker, Texas Ranger, passed away on Friday at age 86. He's long been the center of Internet lore, painting him as utterly unbeatable, with endless jokes about his superhuman feats. Those famous Chuck Norris backs kicked off back in 2005 thanks to a high school kid named Ian Specter who built a website generator. For them, it exploded overnight, pulling in 10,000 users and turning into a massive online phenomenon that still pops up everywhere. Norris got a kick out of the hype himself. He read some of the top ones on a sports TV show in 2006 and even rift on them in a video backing a presidential candidate two years. Over time, things got tricky when Norris sued Specter for using his image in a book series, though Specter had gotten his okay earlier to keep the project going.
