| Boy Scouts now offer video game merit badge |
|
As we all know, video games are addictive so this is the first merit badge for an addictive behavior. Next thing you know they will be piloting remote control drones for the military.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36834193/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/ |

| 5. That's a belt loop, not a merit badge... |
|
and those are earned by Cub Scouts, not Boy Scouts.
Other more legitimate concerns are dealt with reasonably well in the article.
