Am I the last one on the internet to hear about this kid?

Seems he made a video of himself ...

and his "friends" posted it on the net and off to the races it went.

I thought we all needed to get a life, check out the many edited/remixed versions of this video have found the way to this website. Funny in a way, sad in another.

Poor kid.

I don't have the link right now to a Star Wars kid satire site but, yes the SWK made the office rounds about six months ago. Turns out, he didn't make that video, it was a prank where some other kids turned the camera on. He didn't know it. I thought that sounded bogus until I read an article on CNN about how the SWK parents are suing for mental stress on their son caused by this. I also heard he was offered a walk on part in the next Star Wars movie.

It appears that he is approaching the camera several times in the clip and reaching to turn off the camera. I think he made it but, didn't have the intentions to be a "movie star".

Let he/she who hasn't appeared in a homemade video cast the first stone. ;)

I don't think the guy ever thought it would end up everywhere. If it really has caused him undo stress, then I feel terribly for him. He is young and was just having fun. If this started as a prank and went haywire and he is upset, then it is just not good. Funny, but not good. :)

Its too bad if he has been under stress from it, but my advice to him would be that...

Revenge is dish best served cold. ;)
