I just found out that in europe the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wre called Teenage Mutant "Hero" Turtles.

Whats so bad about the word "ninja"?

Apparently it was a racist term up until 2000 or something. I remember when it changed to ninja turtles here. big day, we all had a party

So what did they call other things with ninjas in them?

What was Ninja Gaiden called?

What about the horrible movies "Thee Ninjas" and "Surf Ninjas"?

Hero Gaiden.

Three Heroes.

Surf Heroes.

That would be funny if it was true.

...well they were heroes.

And it was only the cartoon. Wasn't it?

Ninja Gaiden was called Shadow Warriors in PAL regions for the first few games.  Surf Ninjas wasn't released in Europe.  No idea about 3 Ninjas though.  But I do know that my wife dated one of those bums for a few years.  I can play the 3 Ninjas game on SNES and play as her ex-boyfriend and make him die over and over.  THE ULTIMATE ZING!

OMG That is sooo epic...

Which one did she date, was it Rocky??? Colt??? or Tum Tum???

It was Tum Tum, wasn't it?

Colt.
