Jester Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 The Motion Picture Association of America has partnered with the Los Angeles Boy Scouts to produce a "Respect Copyrights" merit badge. Unfortunately, this is not a joke. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061020-8044.html This is just too fscking funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I wonder if the tobacco industry will try for a cigarette badge. It's the same thing MPAA is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychoaliendog Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 emm... its not really a merit badge, its an activity patch. Activity patches are given out for attending certain events or other troop activities. My experiences in scouting suggests that the LA area council put out a list of requirement for the local troops and scouts complete in order to receive the patch. Boy Scouts is a non profit organization and wont turn away money, So I don't really blame the council for doing that, and you shouldn't really pirate movies anyway.

VaKo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Pirating movies is old. I pirate the entire studio and make my own movies these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armadaender Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I wonder what some of the requirements are for obtaining the 'activity patch'. (I don't remember those. I was in the scouts for about two months way back but I got kicked out for messing with fire a bit-too much.) 1. Turn in 10 of your movie-pirating friends. 2. Turn in 20 music-pirating friends.

psychoaliendog Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I got kicked out for messing with fire a bit-too much. Wow, when I was in the scouts we lit pretty much everything that didn't move (and somethings that did) on fire. Picnic tables, Clay pigeons, each other... some fellow scouts even smoked rope, and, no, thats not some new drug, literally rope, they claimed to get high off it. armadaender I think you were just in the wrong troop.

armadaender Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 armadaender I think you were just in the wrong troop. My troop consisted of my god-loving neighbor (I have nothing against religion, he was just one of those over-the-top nuts) and a few other kids that had no friends outside of eachother. Frankly, when I was with them I felt like the outcast because I've never spoken to any of them in my life nor could I relate to any of them on any level. They were all really into the scout thing, wanting to be eagle scouts and whatnot. They would make wicker baskets using dead brush, I'd take that brush and build a blair-witch style character and lit it on fire. Wrong troop? Possibly, but if I happened to end up with a group like yours, I probably would have 3rd degree burns all over and unable to go outside b/c of the sun.
