The YouTube "Star Wars" Kid... His Real StorySubmitted by Jeremy LeRay on Mon, 2007-02-19 01:31.
Okay, so if you haven't heard by now, apparently the most viewed internet video ever, is of some seemingly unknown fat kid who set up a camera to tape himself in a small room, whirling and twirling a golf ball retriever while making Star Wars sound effects, pretending to be a Jedi warrior or something. Apparently, hundreds of millions of people have now seen this kid. Here is the original video of him doing his thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU Well, apparently it was noticed by various people of some technical savvy, and they polished it up to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWeJundZa3A&mode=related&search= There are also countless other renditions of this video all over the net. However, I just found out today that apparently there's a whole sad story behind this video, and here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_kid This whole thing, of course, raises all sorts of fundamental questions about the true nature of human society, human cruelty, and the full truth about the internet itself.
