HAHAHAHA, you know that star wars kid video?
The parrents of ghyslain (his name) are suing the people who released it. I dunno why, but that's damn funny.

Due to the level of bile I've seen directed against this poor guy in all corners of the internet, I'm about ready to say that I hope he wins. :cool:

yeah, because, y'know, having incredible internet popularity and recieving $4000 worth of donations from people on the internet really isn't enough compensation for a few people laughing at a funny video of a guy dancing around
it's honestly nothing soul scarring, we've all done it before
As long as they aren't sueing me...
He should be proud to get such recognition.. I guess. ;)

Step 1 - fat nerd kid makes weird ninja tape
Step 2 - fat nerd kid's only friend realizes that fat nerd kid is in fact, a fat nerd
Step 3 - fat nerd kid's friend puts video on internet perhaps as retribution for a ho ho eating incident
Step 4 - fat nerd kid gets slammed across the internet and made out to look like the fat nerdy kid he is
Step 5 - American friend goes to meet fat nerd kid's parent and informs thems of the American way of justice; flagrant lawsuits
Step 6 - fat nerd kid sues
Step 7 - fat nerd kid become's obscenely wealthy and becomes the rich fat nerd kid from the internet movie
Step 8 - fat nerd kid becomes real life baby Huey
I'd say that's a happy ending for the fat nerd kid. Like he had a shot in the real world. He's the richest kid in highschool now.

Omg! Soft tacos with fire sauce and the 'spicy chicken strips' kick entirely too much ass when you got the munchies!
Anyway,
Ive got really mixed feelings. I hate flagrant lawsuits but i dont like what was done to that boy.

I don't think what they've done to the boy is entirely bad. I do shit like that all of the time, he just had the guts to post it all over the net. I don't consider him stupid, or fat, just funny. I also don't like anoying lawsuits. And A&W + KFC = mega good shit. They have one of those not too far from where i live. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, the spicy chicken sandwich + some good ol root beer in a mug is mighty mighty tasty

The kid could have played it up and became a star... I know it has been played on a multitude of TechTV shows, he could easily have gotten TechTV to fly him out to their studio and pay him to make a fool of himself live...
But instead now when he fails at yet another thing in his life (the lawsuit) he will not only look like a fat, looser, lonely starwars geek, but he will be a fat, looser, lonely, whiney, greedy, failure starwars geek.

"And now the entire world thinks he is a dork"
Could that be because he is a fucking dork? At least he's got money. If you're going to be a dork, that's the only way to do it.
Its not the fact that it was all over the internet but that Canadian Media aired the tape all over the news and several large publication Newspapers had pics from it and printed stories about it. He is a minor and they have used his tape without permission or without paying for the rights to use it. He has every right to sue over this.

I'm not saying he shouldn't sue, I hope the fat fuck becomes a millionaire, I'm just saying this isn't a bad gig at all.

Nope. The internet is not public property. Anything on a website belongs to the person that owns the website. Hence why you can get sued if you copy pics from a website and put them up on another. But luckily for us, its about impossible to stop it :D

because he's a dork and he deserves all the shit he gets.
SWG is gonna be scary as hell because people like him will play it! I was considering SWG but then I realized it would be full of a bunch of god damn melvins all have the name obiwan canobi spelled a trillion different ways and all trying to roleplay.
Although I see the benefeits to SWG now, it will finally allow the governments to trace all star wars nerds back to the source so we can kill them all in swoop:D

Man, fuk you. Seriously. Fuk you.
"SWG is gonna be scary as hell because people like him will play it! I was considering SWG but then I realized it would be full of a bunch of god damn melvins all have the name obiwan canobi spelled a trillion different ways and all trying to roleplay."
Yeah cause it would be absolutely terrible to play a Star Wars MMORPG with people who actively enjoy the SW universe and who would role play it well.
Fuk you, again.
Personally id rather hang with 100 roleplayers in a MM game, no matter how nerdy they are in RL, than with one l33t asshole like you.
They know who they are. They dont have to pretend to be "hard" and insult others. They enjoy the SW universe and they dont have any qualms about it. Just because your so fuckin insecure that you gotta insult them doesnt make them bad people to play with.
