Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating

The_Slaughter writes "The MPAA has recruited the boy scouts of America to do their dirty work. Scouts will now be able to learn a merit badge for anti-piracy related activities, including creating public service announcements urging others not to steal movies or music. No word yet on if that includes helping the MPAA file lawsuits against 80-year-old grandmothers."

    Who gives a shit what a bunch of homophobes are doing.

    Never know what you will see in the news these days.

    Only in a county like the US can we have a congressman plead guilty yet stay in his job, a Secretary of Defense getting his advice from God, a foreing president jealous of a rapist, and militants re-taking cities in that "all is going well" Iraq war that some BS about a homophobe organization like the boy scouts enforcing corporate interests would make the news.

    and I think you missed the part where fox news was repeatedly "accidentally" reffering to Foley as a democrat...

    or the part where the speaker of the house was told about it and didnt do anything...somewhat unrelated but I thought it was interesting that the speaker's daughter (niece maybe?) goes to a school near mine and has been at a few parties here where she has been completely wild and is almost completely ignorant of the politics going around with her father (hmm...sounds a bit like the college days of a certain president...)
