Video Games Do Affect Our Youth, in Hilarious Ways

Now bend those knees.

Don't you miss elementary school? There was no such thing as "homework," half the day was something called "recess," and the hardest thing you did was learn some mysterious language called "cursive." Well, it looks like times are changing.

A recent report says that an increase of bullying is on the rise, but not just your run of the middle pound-your-face-in bullying. The new trend is teabagging, yes, teabagging, and from this animation you can guess where your little siblings got the idea.

"A group of boys has been involved in bullying others, and officials said their actions have included physical attacks, taunting and sexually harassing victims by making their crotches touch other boys' heads while fully clothed -- something apparently inspired by the Halo video game series, in which players can perform a posturing move over a defeated enemy."

Back when I was in elementary school, they'd just take the weakest kid and plunge his head into the toilet. Or possibly they'd pull his underwear up so hard the elastic would rip off. But mock-teabagging? The horror! I love how parents are suddenly concerned about this new trend in bullying just because it came out of a video game, cause I mean, swirlies and wedgies are just boys being boys.

Oh and this relates to U of M because half the school plays Halo. And enjoys teabagging. I'm looking at you Theta Chi.
