#1 Why do I get the feeling that some geeks are playing the usual [re:MSM] suspects who routinely fail to check the veracity of their exposition?

#2 Kicking, punching and swinging every household object imaginable — from frying pans and tennis rackets to pillowcases stuffed with soda cans

I don't think so. Not unless they have a real remote burial site. I saw enough broken bones and concussions during my karate tournament days, and that was under controlled conditions with pads. This goes into the Yanking The Journalist's Chain file unless otherwise noted.

Basically you have a bunch of single H-1B visa foreign engineers who can't get laid because there are no available local women from their culture.

So they fight instead.

#6 I'm not buying it. I loved the movie fight club but what I didn't believe was that people would voluntarily get into fights over nothing while sober. Fights hurt, and they hurt for days. And the loser doesn't get that grand glow of victory.

If this was real I would expect them to be taking up martial arts or boxing rather than bare knuckle brawling.

#8 ...and remember, guys. Brad Pitt looked like a badass in the movie and now Angelina Jolie walks him around at the end of a dog leash.
