4. Thanks for finding that..

Claim: A video has been circulating around depicting the legendary martial artist Bruce Lee demonstrating his skills by playing a game of Ping Pong using only nunchucks.


Status- False. It looks really cool, but it is really a part of an advertising campaign for Nokia's N98 cell phone from 2008, 35 years after his death. The Bruce Lee lookalike and his fellow actors had to synchronize their movements to the recorded sound of a real game in the background for reference. Afterwards, the sound effects and the ball was digitally inserted to add to the realism. The circulating clips typically have the phone scenes cut out to make them look more authentic. Below is the full videos as they were intended to be.

5. It's not fake news. It's simply a fake. Not everything fake is fake news.

6. OK, Detlef, you old grump. Jeez, lighten up, dude!

If you think a man who can win at ping-pong with nunchucks isn't news, you must be from another planet...

7. My point is, we shouldn't cheapen the term "fake news" by applying it to everything we don't like.

Like a certain political segment is wont to do...
