Jam boy

Found this prodded as a hoax. Seems to be an urban legend rather than a hoax, though for all I know it could be an urban legend that started on Wikipedia, and thus a hoax. Would be useful if someone could comment on the book that's the cited as a source; the Observer reference isn't worth the electronic paper it's printed on. BTW the article is substantially the same as one on Urban dictionary. Declan Clam (talk) 03:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Whilst it does seem that the cited book does mention "Jam boys", neither that book or the Observer article seem to be the most serious of texts. Without something more concrete to give credence to those sources, I'm of the opinion that this should be deleted. Adambro (talk) 11:54, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I prodded this as a hoax. Nominator is correct in the sense the 'urban legend' began on Wikipedia. The only relevant 'source' points back to Wikipedia. Taken almost verbatim from UrbanDictionary.com and is most definitely a hoax. smooth0707  (talk) 17:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
