Ronson up in arms

Blogging neophyte Jon Ronson is disturbed to discover that a former interviewee has named a deadly new tool after him - the Jonronimo:

Master Peter Brusso, the US Marine martial arts trainer and inventor of the Predator, as featured in The Men Who Stare At Goats, is launching a new weapon, and it is to be named after me. So Iraqi insurgents are soon to have their eyeballs gouged out by the Jonronimo. Whilst I am glad that one of my interviewees is sufficiently pleased at the way he has been portrayed that he wants to name a weapon after me, I can't help thinking that this is not good.
