Real Ultimate Power
The Official Ninja Webpage: Real Ultimate Power is a satire website created in 2002 by the pseudonymous Robert Hamburger. Written using the persona of a 13-year-old boy, the site is a parody of adolescent fascination with Ninjas. Warren St. John, columnist for the New York Times described it as a "a satirical ode to the masculine prowess of ninjas".
In 2004, it was chosen by Kensington Books for their inaugural book release in the new fratire genre -- non-fiction literature marketed to young men in a politically incorrect and overtly masculine fashion. Due to the website's fan base, the Real Ultimate Power, The Official Ninja Book became a cult hit, selling 35,000 copies in two years. The success of the book prompted Kensington's release of other fratire books by Tucker Max and Maddox.
The Real Ultimate Power concept developed an internet meme with the creation of dozens of imitation parody websites.
