One of Scotland's top public schools has condemned a video which showed ex-pupils staging a mock "chav hunt".

"Class Wars" was posted on the internet site YouTube by former students at Glenalmond College, near Perth.

The film, which showed teenagers wearing shell suits being chased by classmates dressed as aristocrats, was partly filmed on the school grounds.

Officials have described the spoof as "deeply offensive" and said it did not reflect the ethos at the school.

The footage has now been removed from the website.

So we can goto the cinema and watch mindless violence and torture, but when a group of school kids make a parody where no one is hurt it's deemed highly offensive?

Good effort there. Let's just ban everything that isn't teletubbies?

no ban teletubbies as well as it encourages drug use

I never touch the tv anymore (and not because it refused to succumb to my sexual advances) and I also have a mind.

What happens when the batteries on your remote die?
