Well this is the first I've heard of the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, always heard of the other name for them, guessing to make it more appeal to the youngings by way of the word ninja. :blink: And yeah they qualify as ninjas by their training and such yessssss.

Hmm, strange. But I'm positive that when I first heard of them (mid- to late 80s) they were called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles...:blink:

It looks like Brits feel some sort of aversion towards the title "Teenage mutant ninja turtles"

DakaSha:if you go into a kindergarden and give all the kids rubber schlongs they will prob just hit each other over the head with them
DakaSha:and you have a class of little kids hitting eachother with rubber dongs which must be quite funny (also Picklweasel knight I am)

I only mean in terms of the title. :blink: Now all they really need to do is rerelease the old turtle episodes on dvd that would rock.

Yeah, and when the evil Shredder attacked, these turtle boys didn't cut him no slack. :blink:
Furthermore, it is my opinion that Carthage must be destroyed.

Hey, those two freakish kids in the Lost Boys voiced some of the Ninja Turtles.

No wonder they ever appeared in any other films, their carreer was stained with filth.
