so sad (worse than lightning bolt!)

[mchammer75040]

Oh man i feel so bad for this guy:
http://www.jedimaster.net/

watch the vid on the main page. Heres the summary of what happened to this poor guy:

The Star Wars Kid was just goofing off at school. Now he finds his private performance downloaded by over 15 million Internet users across the world.

The Star Wars Kid is a 15-year-old from Quebec known only as Ghyslain -- his parents are keeping his last name secret to protect his identity. Back in November 2002, Ghyslain was goofing off at a school video studio and recorded himself fighting a mock battle with a golf ball retriever lightsaber. Over two minutes, the video shows the lone, overweight teenager twirling his mock lightsaber ever faster while making his own accompanying sound effects.

Yes, we've all had our dorky, private moments, but this poor kid is living the nightmare of having his private dorkiness projected across the world to giggling Web users. His friends found the tape, and uploaded it to KaZaA as a joke on April 19. Within two weeks, someone had added full Star Wars special effects and sound effects to the tape. Currently, new clone videos are being created at the rate of 1 per day!

yeah, we all know about that poor kid.

its kinda funny though

no there's a kid even more embarrasing than him.. He was made a fool of by his friends, but there's a worse one out. Search around on that site, im pretty sure its on there, its actually a kid who _wants_ to be like the starwars kid. going to the trouble of trying to fake his own video to be like him in the hopes he'll get tons of sympathy too. Aspiring to be like Ghyslain, now that IS sad.

Then I read the info about it and was laughing my ass off

[Bad^Hat]

Do Not Laugh At The Star Wars Kid, For He Shall Cleave You In Twain With His Mighty Golf-Ball-Picker-Uperer-Style Lightsabre. The Force Of Web Fandom Is Behind Him!

This video is hilarious, especially the one with added lasers that he deflects. I almost cried when I saw that one.

 

[Brian Damage]

Just finished watching the original...

Besides the facts that: he hits the camera once or twice, he has that ridiculous expression on his face, he possesses two left feet, he cannot kick for nuts and he goes completely and utterly insane on the last run...

... he's not actually that bad. I certainly wouldn't want to get on the wrong end of that ball retriever.

 

[azz0r]

I dont think he's that bad, if he lost some weight and got a few lessons he'd soon be able to kick peoples ass with a stick.

 

[Brian Damage]

Yeah, but only some weight, because flab can be extremely useful in a fight.

Believe me. I've been on the recieving end...:E

 

[Fat Tony!]

lol serves him right for being sad

would this be before or after he trips up?

 

[RoyalEF]

Hey this kid was being a dork by himself. Those others are in public, dressing up and acting out the part--and they obviously take themselves seriously. That is far sadder.

Before He Trips Up. After, He Is No Longer The Mighty Star Wars Kid. He Is Just A Fat Kid Sitting Flat On His Arse.

I guess still dangerous, he could always roll over onto your toe and cause a nasty bruise

 

[Brian Damage]

Owie.

Wise man say: "A man whose teeth are at groin height has it all his own way in a fight".

Not so sad. Apparently the peeps at Lucasfilms took pity on him, offered him a tour of Skywalker Ranch and gave him his own lightsaber model.
