Instead Scouts sat around a pot plant.

Duuuuude....

That wouldn't happen in my sons troop.

I hope this is satire....

[ElkGroveDan]

We need to start a religion where we are offended by all the things the Muslims want.

I’m offended when pork is NOT served. Who’s going to cater to my quirks?

[Red Badger]

What’s a banger?.......or should I ask?.........

[Principled]

I thought this was the Onion!

Really - this is preposterous!

[Principled]

banger is a sausage or hot dog in Yank terms...

Instead Scouts sat around a pot plant. Duuuuude.... That wouldn't happen in my sons troop.

Why? Wouldn't last that long?......

[SIDENET]

And the scouts have been banned from having campfires and instead have to sit round a potplant - because of safety fears.

Is this satire?

[Red Badger]

Well, there’s always Rats on a Stick!...........

[sittnick]

It’s a sausage, probably includes frankfurters.

Be prepared! that's the boy scout's marching song,

Be prepared! as through life you march along.

Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well,

Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell.

Be prepared! to hide that pack of cigarettes,

Don't make book if you cannot cover bets.

Keep those reefers hidden where you're sure

That they will not be found

And be careful not to smoke them

When the scoutmaster's around

For he only will insist that it be shared.

Be prepared!

Be prepared! that's the boy scouts' solemn creed,

Be prepared! and be clean in word and deed.

Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice,

Unless you get a good percentage of her price.

Be prepared! and be careful not to do

Your good deeds when there's no one watching you.

If you're looking for adventure of a

New and different kind,

And you come across a girl scout who is

Similarly inclined,

Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared.

Be prepared!

[ClearCase_guy]

It seems crazy, but what can you do?

Indeed. No solution occurs to me. Obvisouly, a hopeless situation that cannot possibly be remedied. Sure.

[taxcontrol]

I’m a Meatatarian — and I’m offended. I believe that each and every meal should include at least some meat. Now, what are you going to do about it.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Thank G-d this is in the UK. I would like to think no parent of a Scout in this country would put up with this kind of shiite.

[khnyny]

I hope this is satire....

That's exactly what I was thinking. It must be.

[DaveyB]

I'm offended by vegetables and grains. Now what?

I guess no one cares about my beef!

[Domandred]

I’m not sure what to even make of this story yet. Pinging more more awake digestion.

[Greg F]

This was not satire, it’s a serious article. I think bangers are hot dogs? The British have gone mad.

Duuuuude....

Yeah, but what would they eat once they got done with the pot plant?
