HA HA!

That being said, the ribbing and poking will end soon enough and he'll still have his phat new computer to play with.

Canadian eh? Ha ha! You fellas should stick to Terrence and Philip as your role models. Darth Maul is just way too hip for the likes of you all!!1!

I feel badly for the kid but really you reap what you sow.

I mean there probably isn't anyone who hasn't picked up a stick or something and used it as a light saber. Hell I've done it and I'm easily twice as cool as the rest of you combined. But to tape it, at school, on a school camera, and then leave the fucking thing in the camera and you are just begging for it.

Ok, I think we have all been made fun of before. Locally anyway.

Did any of us get paid for it? Fuck no, not me.

The kids getting shit donated to him for what he has to go thru, I say Congrats on being stupid enough to make something that makes fun of yourself, and leave it somewhere public.

I can see this shit in the future, its Jackass meets the Internet. People doing stupid shit for donations.

The interview reads like an advertisement at the end....

Could this be a huge marketing ploy?!!?!

I meant for iPod

next gen iPod should play movies, and that kids movie (the one w/ the effects added) will be THE commercial.

Some people have taken your video and have added some Star Wars special effects, have you seen these?
Yes, I have seen some.
What's your opinion of these videos?
From what I saw, they look very well-made. It's surprising to see what people have done with a video that wasn't meant to be seen. It's interesting

I wonder if he was crying in his sleep after seeing the Benny Hill version $\:D/$
