Is YouTube to blame for increase in food fights?

Police in Montreal say that videos of food fights on YouTube and other web video sites have caused an increase in food fights at schools. There are have been three different incidents in Montreal schools in the past week, and up to 20 police officers had to be called in and stop one fight that lasted three hours.

I can honestly say I've never been in or even seen a food fight, except in movies and TV shows. I did get grabbed and held up against a cafeteria wall by the assistant principal one time in middle school. He accused me of skipping school the day before. I mean, yeah, I did skip, but he could have been a whole lot nicer about it.
