After reading some of the posts around I noticed that it seems the general public is not very kendo friendly (or indeed respectful of any real martial arts).
Nor does gross misrepresentation in the media help.

Although not directly kendo related, look at the photo under the American Heritage Dictionary (1983) entry for Judo:

What peeves do you have of the general public's perceptions of and attitude towards kendo, iaido, jodo and naginatado (and others)?
What can we do to help the situation?
