Be Prepared to Get Your Ass Kicked

According to the Associated Press, the USA's oldest youth organization, Boy Scouts of America, is now requiring their scouts to prove they can stand up to bullies, if they want to advance through the ranks.

The Boy Scouts have issued mandatory snappy comebacks for their lads to memorize.

"Shaken down for your lunch money? Tell the bully how it hurts. Called a crater face? The 2008 Boy Scout Handbook recommends this comeback: 'So what if I have a face full of zits. What's it to you?' "

Useful advice? I suppose, if the kids want to get beaten like a piñata. Sadly, the Handbook doesn't advise their Scouts that they could avoid a lot of bullying if they didn't wear those fey little scarves.
