Is it all that much different from the cheap badge and plastic gun that someone gave me when I was young? It said "cop" on the package, but I knew that just because I had a plastic gun, badge, etc. I wasn't a cop. It was kind of like dress up. If someone had given me this and I had watched the video and put on a belt, I would have known I wasn't a real "karate guy". If people can play cop, why not karate man? I don't practice the martial arts, but I'm not a cop, either. I know that the cheap cop set didn't say "become a cop in 30 minutes", but it may as well have. Doesn't really bother me, personally. Funny story... I was watching TV (couple months ago, I think) and I saw the commercial for this or something like this. It was clearly a toy, etc. but it said that it came with a black belt, video, etc. And the first thought that came to mind was "man, there are some people on KF that would not be very pleased about that." lol.
