Eureka area high school kids involved in "Fight Club" brawls
Published 11:25 a.m. PST Friday, March 29, 2002
Eureka (AP) - - In a case of life imitating art, Humboldt County officials say teen-agers are staging after-school brawls reminiscent of the movie "Fight Club.
The fights aren't over a girl or an insult. Instead, they're for entertainment - and gambling.
John Turner of the Eureka Police Department says the fights usually are bare-knuckle - and have a great potential for serious injury.
He says there have been four prearranged fights in the Eureka area in the past two weeks.
Authorities believe the movie inspired the brawls.
Once again it's the "blame the media" fever we're in, I mean it's the authorities who believe it was, according to this the kids didn't even say Fight Club inspired them. Besides gambling would be against the FC philosophy

You read way too much into movies. I think it's time for you to get out some. Maybe do some drugs, or something.

Sure you did...

That is one poorly written fake story. And its not even topical considering Fight Club came out 3-4 years ago. Awful job Ikea.

Northern California....Near the Oregon border. Humboldt County is known the WEED. Humboldt University is more commonly known as Stoner U...which makes it harder to understand that all these stoners were fighting for entertainment purposes.
