The first rule of Fight Club is you do not post videos of Fight Club on YouTube.

Life imitated art in La Vernia, Texas where a bunch of rascally high school students fought hard to earn their fifteen minutes of fame. Their no-nonsense superintendent Dr. Tom Harvey really came down hard on the boys. “We don’t think this is entertainment or funny,” Dr. Harvey admonished. Why you I oughta…

You mean there’s nothing funny about a group of teens assembling in the bathroom to literally beat the crap out of each other because they saw it in a movie? C’mon! Let the kids have their macho fun. Besides, now that football season is over, how else are young American males supposed going to their brutish hostility?

As reported on WOAI-TV, “Dr. Harvey first heard rumors about these secret fights two weeks ago, but learned they were real after watching them at youtube.com. ‘Criminal complaints will be filed, we will not have it or tolerate it at our school,’” said the good doctor undoubtedly wagging a scolding finger. This guy must be a riot around the water cooler.

Calling it their fight club, these students are mimicking the 1999 David Fincher movie that starred Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. After seeing the video clips on youtube.com, Dr. Harey got a hold of La Vernia Police Chief Bobby Hyatt (no small feat when you consider how ticklish he is) and the high school’s liaison officer.

“My school officer, when she watched the thing, she could tell me every kid who was involved and she knew the voices and these kids actually called each other by names, so you knew who was involved with it,” said Chief Hyatt.

I’m warning you wise guy kids, watch your step or Chief Hyatt will put you on double secret probation.
