Because this is hilarious, right?

Strange question to ask, I know, but thanks to a recent PSA produced by VH1 (yes, that VH1), it is a question many advocates are forced to consider. There is no debate on one salient point — bullying is absolutely no laughing matter. However, VH1 is trying to add a few humor points to the subject to show what could eventually happen to these kids and the dolts who bully them.

An anti-bullying ad with the theme ‘nerds today, bosses tomorrow’ has gone viral, but it definitely has created its detractors — as in, most of America that has seen it.
