The depths to which some will sink

[hobbitbob]

I found this on ebay. I don't know whom I am more disgusted with. The self proclaimed "master" who is selling this, or the idiots who would buy it!

 

Before this turns into a "TKD-bashing" thread, be aware that similar dan certificates have shown up for Karate, Judo,and Aikido before.

Didn't we use to have a barfing icon? That is the one that is appropriate here.

that is sick and ridiculous!

No more ridiculous than walking into a MA store and buying a black belt and having anything you want embroidered on..............just be sure to be able to backit up

Went to the local karate store the other week to pick up some sashes for a demo, and I noticed that on their giant wall of belts for sale, they had the coveted (in Tang Soo Do anyways) Black belt with a thin red stripe through the middle. For Sale. In Size 1. for $2.00

 

Part of me was tempted to buy one, and put it up for motivational purposes. I'm a size 5, and couldn't use a size 1 for a wristband Still, it felt too creepy... like I was cheating

 

SO, I didn't get it.

I think what's even more pathetic, than the idea of selling it, Is that someone will actually buy it. Now, that's sad.
