According to this article, a fight club in a Washington middle school was recently discovered and the participants "expelled" from school (the article states that "when they can return" is to be determined. I'm pretty sure thats called a suspension). Do sixth graders even know how to fight? It probably ended up more as a slap-each-other-then-run-home-to-mom-for-fruit-snacks club.
Officials caught wind of the group when one of the kids' relatives spoke out about it. So, they know enough about the movie to create a fight club, but they somehow missed both the FIRST and SECOND rules of Fight Club? You don't talk about fight club! Especially not to your family. If you're having trouble handling the stress in your life, just go to a few group therapy sessions for alcoholism or insomnia, meet a crazy woman, develop a schizophrenic alter-ego, and plot to blow up the financial district of town. Uncle Steve doesn't need to know that you got your ass handed to you in a voluntary fight.
I think this so-called "relative" of a participant was actually David Fincher leaking the story. He just wants to show how his movies (Fight Club, The Social Network) capture the true spirit of our youth and in 15 years, no one will remember The King's Speech, but everyone will have seen the Facebook movie.
While writing this, I found video on youtube of a soccer player kicking an owl. It just seemed like something you should see. And now we know soccer players are badass. Let that me a warning to all nocturnal birds of prey.
