Wikipedia said:The young boy reportedly suffered considerable embarrassment, in part because the video showed him to be overweight and not particularly graceful. Additional scorn was directed at his self-generated sound effects. The case raised privacy issues and was extensively reported in mainstream news media worldwide, including The New York Times, CBS News, GMTV and BBC News. The boy underwent therapy and counseling.
An Internet petition to get him a cameo role in Star Wars Episode III received more than 178,000 digital signatures. Although George Lucas sympathized with the young man's plight, the film contains no such cameo and there were never any plans known to do so, nor is it at all clear that he himself would have wished it. At the height of the video's popularity, two webloggers (waxy.org and jish.nu) began a fundraiser to buy the boy an Apple iPod. In less than a week, they raised over $3,200 and shipped him a 30GB iPod certificate.[5]
didn't know they cost $3200...
