  • mwrl, on 08/06/2008, -2/+34Lie! You don't see Ninja's!
  • Yashar, on 08/06/2008, -1/+22Ninja please.
  • ericatdigg, on 08/07/2008, -2/+18NOBODY WOULD SHUT DOWN A SCHOOL FOR A PIRATE......

    'NUFF SAID.
  • themastersb, on 08/07/2008, -0/+13How could they think it was a real ninja? You wouldn't even be able to see a real one.
  • morningmatters, on 08/06/2008, -1/+8Ok, I am waiting for the memes and demotivational posters which will inevitably follow this piece of news.
  • bearcat8543, on 08/07/2008, -1/+6and as accurate
  • wastedlife, on 08/07/2008, -1/+5Wow the Huffington Post is really up to date with it's news. The article it references is dated June 25th.

  • thejokell, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4The Huffington Post is just as funny as the Onion.
  • floorman56, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Not a very good Ninja if he was seen.
  • DontGameDigg, on 08/07/2008, -2/+6Digg. Last month's news... today!

  • fireseedstudios, on 08/07/2008, -1/+5Ninja you scary!
  • MrSketch, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Agreed. Buried as inaccurate, a true ninja wouldn't have been seen. This must have just been some lame wannabe.
  • tech42er, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4I think the RIAA feels differently.
  • grandinferno, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3...or you could just...

    ASK. A. NIN-JAAAAAA.

    "Cecilia Geralto or Barnegat asks a ninja..."
  • Wormfather, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3Wrong!

    When do you see a ninja? Just before you die!
  • tech42er, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Wow, you're only the 20th person to post that!
  • OdinTGE, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3The Onion's world is bleeding into our own. Do we panic or cheer?
  • StaticThunder, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Actually, its one unseen ninja killing all these users and posting from their accounts.
  • hmunkey, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3But you do see stupid apostrophes.
  • CrazyRedHatter, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2if it was a real ninja, the kid would've been dead without seeing him.
  • inactive, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3If they knew anything about ninjas, they would have known that the kid cried wolf. NOBODY can see ninjas

    speaking of, I haven't seen askaninja in like 100 years. I hope it is still active
  • mdaize, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Buried as inaccurate - you cannot see a ninja
  • ZenMojo, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2I think there's been confusion.

    They didn't close the school down because someone saw a Ninja, they closed the school down because another group of kids, upon hearing this, said they COULDN'T see a Ninja -- that's what scared the principal.
  • Mac_Dre, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2HAHA omg want a day off of school? Forget a bomb threat. NINJA COSTUME FTW!
  • DangerMouse9, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1@PimpsetBitch

    I don't see what being sexually repressed or being white has to do with making bomb threats or school shootings.

  • LeonHRodriguez, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Did they think one, solitary Ninja would do anything to a school full of children?
  • DangerMouse9, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1You must've been educated there since you obviously didn't comprehend the dates on the article.
  • Aero347, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1MORTAL KOMBAT!
  • HiroOfShadows, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Why wouldn't they?
  • rodrigo74, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I am Ninja!
    He is Ninja!
    She is Ninja, too!
    I am Ninja!
    We are Ninja!
    And I believe that you are Ninja, too!
  • Sumtin2Say, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1His plan was to only be seen by one student.
  • theShadow51, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1damn, i thought this was an onion article.
  • filldeviant, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Ye babbling dogs! It be a swabbie dressed up as a Ninja t' scare sea dogs an' land lubbers out o' ye school an' raid it fer th' booty!
  • Klowner, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Only cats and wizards can see ninjas
  • halonumber14, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1what a terrible ninja, having been seen.
  • Relikh, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Have you seen what they do to orphanages? I still can't play Ninja Gaiden after seeing that... o.o
  • ucccft, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Some in Barnegat must be on drugs as:
    Its August! It's Summer! All the schools are closed!
    so if are still going to school, STOP Taking DRUGS!
  • 11oops, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1We need more 'you can't see a ninja' comments. And I'm loving the CAPTCHA. Thanks Digg!
  • proghead, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2buried as inaccurate. there are no Ninja Sightings.
  • anatoxindust, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of The Onion's article 'Disgruntled Ninja Silently Kills 12 Co-Workers'
    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/39001
  • PimpSetBitch, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I dont see terrorist (or sexually repressed 40 year old white men) mailing ninjas to anyone in the future
  • CJDarkhaven, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I'm still smiling from that headline...the world needs more awesomeness like this in it! Those kids have the best bragging story ever now: 30 minute lockdown for ninja sighting = best schoolday ever, even if they didn't have sloppy joes or mini pizzas for lunch :)
  • Kerplunk5975, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1That is the true test of a ninja-- Withstanding the horrid smells of the turnpike.
  • OdinTGE, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Like I told your captain, the orphanage attacked me! It was self defense!
  • TheoDork, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I'd say that it's more Huffington's fault, they're the ones who dated this story as August 6th for no apparent reason.
  • juusux, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1DUH, if it was a real ninja, you wouldn't have seen it! There is no warning before a ninja strikes, whether its in Asia or America.
    Its quite obvious that it was an imposter.
  • Tool0317, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1buried as inaccurate. If it was a real ninja you wouldn't of saw it.
  • EdwardMass, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1The whole point of a ninja is to flip out and kill people, so I don't blame them for shutting the school down.
  • Sumtin2Say, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Don't give the social rejects (would-be school shooting kids) any ideas.
