A History of Real-Life "Fight Club" Copycats
A recent Starbucks bombing is being blamed on the movie, but this isn't the first incident inspired by Tyler Durden.
What in the hell is going on with the youth these days? You may have heard about the incident that occured over Memorial Day weekend, when a homemade bomb, made out of fireworks explosives, a plastic bottle and electrical tape, exploded in a Starbucks on New York's Upper East Side. What appeared to be an act of stateside terrorism, similar to three other explosions that went down during different times of the same day, left NYC authorities completely puzzled. That is, until they got word of a Chelsea teenager named Kyle Shaw, who was bragging about the attack to the members of his "fight club."
Yup, you guessed it. This kid was tryna get his Tyler Durden on by putting his own version of Project Mayhem into action. As crazy as that sounds, it's not the first time some overly obsessive, completely 730 Chuck Palahniuk fans have sought to recreate the mayhem from his Fight Club novel that was later made into a movie by David Fincher. Check out these real-life fight club attempts....
