The Junior Pirates

The LA Times reports that the Scout Association of Hong Kong, a co-educational equivalent of the Boy Scouts, has announced a new intellectual property merit badge, sponsored by none other that the Motion Picture Association, to educate Hong Kong youth on the value of international copyright law. If you fail to see the humor in this, then I’ll have to burn you a copy of my new DVD; "Star Fights: Chapter III – of the Sith Reprisals."
The story goes on, writing that the MPA pitched the idea to the Boy Scouts of America, but was turned down. My assumption is that the BSA found the badge irrelevant to the new Boy Scout Motto; "Be Prepared to Exclude Gays and Not Kiss a Girl Until Age 23."
Before you reach for that "comment" link; yes, I was once a Boy Scout. Thanks for reminding me. And thanks to Jason S for the tip.
