The Star Wars Kid (video)

[brentech]

Not sure if any of you have seen it. But this is ridiculously halarious. It is a video of some kid that was just recording himself acting like a jedi --- but other kids found it and posted it on the internet.
After about a million downloads, people felt so bad for the kid in the video, they started to donate money to him. So all and in all -- he actually got like $4000 or something like that from this...but a hell lot of embarrassment.

Watch the original first
Then watch the edited version (edited by some Star Wars creater guy):

*Psst bren they're both the same link* :rolleyes:
Its strange, I knew before I downloaded the video that the kid would be fat. Heh.

[Shamus]

The better question is.. why would a million people download that?

[brentech]

I think this is some proof....

is this kid mentally retarded?

[brentech]

I don't think so - just some kid that was bored and was playing with the video camera at his school....forgot to remove the tape from the recorder 8O
