I heard about this other incident on another forum and hoped it was true. Too bad it wasn't. http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/knockout.asp

It started out as the polar bear game and the media made it pc by calling it the knock out game.

i am still trying to figure out how depraved one needs to be to think this was a good idea and it would be fun.   i don't even want to think what would have happen to me if i was cuaght pulling this type of crap.   I have little doubt i would be knocked out, the question would be how many people were beating my ass.

I believe you need to go back many centuries to find the origin of this.  If it weren't for youtube many people would not be aware and the media would not be hyping it.
