12 Biggest Jerks of Christmas

11. Scut Farkus: A Christmas Story

feefeWho: Scut Farkus school yard bully off A Christmas Story Why: Only bemused hindsight in one's old age could make a jerk/bully like Scut Farkus a romanticized piece of Norman Rockwell like Americana. Of course in today's political correct over sensationalized society, bullying is not only an absolute evil, but also as bad as pedophilia, triple homicide and date rape put together. Yes, bullying is bad but I often wonder if we exploit and aggravate the problem by harping on it so much. It used to be if a kid was messing with you, you stood up to him, fought it out, then it was over. Ask Ralphie from a Christmas story. He, and his friends where the main targets of the evil Scut Farkus, the neighborhood bully with yellow eyes, a metal mouth, and a black soul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgagC4pUmQo He tormented Ralphie and his friends to no end, until one day Ralphie made a stand. What did he do? Well he didn't make a documentary or go see a psychiatrist. He jumped on Scut's scrawny behind and licked him one good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvijyBIgazE Redemption?: Scut Farkus turned out to be a pretty okay kid post beat-down. You must factor in the Back to the Future principle in this case. Whereas a little weakling stands up to the school bully and shames him, irrevocably altering the fate and nature of the wounded bully (now a meek underling) and the heroic prey (now a confident he-man). You can probably find Scut Farkus across the street from the Mcfly residence cleaning and cataloging Ralphie's gun collection.

Raymond Woods is too busy watching movies to give you a decent bio. If he wasn't too busy watching movies and reading books about movies and listening to podcasts about movies, this is what he'd tell you. "I know more about film than you. Accept this as a fact and we might be able to talk."
