More Media for the Ninga Burglar.

Since June, the Notorious Ninga Burglar has struck at 18 homes on Staten Island. He targets houses in Donogan Hills, Grymes Hill, Todt Hill, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The Ninja has run into home owners, never says a word, and has even been stabbed by one resident. Though he has been seen, he is still at large.

The Ninja Burglar gets more and more attention everyday. Teens talk about him on online blogs (like I am currently doing), post ninja bumper stickers on their facebook accounts, and make their own ninja youtube videos. The media runs stories on him all the time. I have seen stories on the Ninja in the Advance and on Fox 5 News. Now, he has his own online video game.

Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball. A game made for the online version of XBox 360, it took ten minutes to write, and two hours to film. In the trailer for the game, the Pirates board the Staten Island Ferry with a map of the Ninja's targeted homes. They search the Island in hopes of finding him, but it seems the Ninja finds them first. As the Pirates post "WANTED" posters across the Island, the Ninja sneaks up behind them and nails them with a dodgeball.

Personally, I think that this whole Ninja Burglar business is funny, as long as no one gets hurt. However, making a game about him is going a little too far. This is the type of attention the Ninja seems to crave. The creator of the game calls the Ninja a "jerk" and hopes that he "doesn't like the video."

My Opinion: OF COURSE HE WILL LIKE IT, YOU ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS.
