Introduction

For my folklore project this term, I am studying the Great Pirates vs. Ninjas Debate. I’m looking for information on how people hear about it, where the debate plays out, where the idea of Pirates v. Ninjas is expressed, what makes each group an icon, and why these icons have been pitted against each other. If you can take a minute and fill this survey out in my comments section, it would be a great help to me. Tell your friends! I’m sure they’d like to give their opinions, too! You are the expert.

Important: Unless you indicate otherwise, I am going to assume that your comment here indicates that you consent to let me use your responses in my paper. If you do not want your comments used, please let me know.

The Survey

1. Tell me about pirates.

2. Tell me about ninjas.

3. Tell me about “pirates vs. ninjas.”

4. Where did you first hear about the debate?

5. When did you first hear about the debate?

6. Do you ever engage in the debate yourself?

7. Can you give me examples of people debating, invoking, or parodying Pirates v. Ninjas that you have seen?

8. Can you give me examples of people debating, invoking, or parodying Pirates v. Ninjas that you have participated in?

9. So … pirates or ninjas?

10. Why?

Thanks again, everyone! I will post the paper on here when it is finished—say around mid-June. It’s only fair you get to see it, after all.
