It's not cool being easy.

IronDragon 05-26-2003 12:41 PM
I feel sorry for the poor guy.

But it’s not like he had much of a chance of ever getting a date in the first place.

Charlie 05-26-2003 12:44 PM
ROTFLMFAO.

That was excellent, built himself up into a right old crescendo. Bet he came crashing back down pretty sharpish too. LOL, that was funny. :D

Bruce The Aussie 05-26-2003 12:44 PM

Stratos 05-26-2003 12:56 PM

Ladyzekke 05-26-2003 02:07 PM
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG that was hilarious! All that flailing about I'm surprised he didn't pop himself in the head! The second one was funny too with the added effects LOL, I noticed they used the last "episode" to edit, as it IS the best one ROTFL.

Check out that link, there's a newspaper article about the kid apparently getting loads of donations from people who felt sorry for him??? Only on the net.... :rolleyes:

Nevaeh 05-26-2003 02:20 PM
LOL, gotta feel sorry for the kid, making a total prat of himself like that :D

robertthebard 05-26-2003 02:34 PM
I should get caught in one of my most embarassing moments, but in the article posted by Vaskez, did any one else notice the links at the bottom of the page? Now that's sympathy.

Sigmar 05-26-2003 02:47 PM
What the hell was that kid thinking?

"Oh man I'm bored...all I've got is this broom and the schools video camera...wait of course! I'll act out a fighting scene from Starwars without any level of acrobatic skill, video tape the entire event and then view my performance at a later date to appriciate how well and truly bored I was. Yep, that sounds like a great idea! *he does his piece* Wow that was great! I'll leave that tape inside the school camera and have a well deserved coffee break, secure with the fact that my memory will not fail to remind me of the fact that the tape is still inside when I return the camera. Hmm...maybe I should do it now just to be sure? Nah, what are the odds of me forgetting? How stupid can I be? Even though if this got out I'll never be able to show my face in the general public or school without being ridiculed and mocked as being "that Star wars kid."

...WHAT IN THE HELL WAS HE THINKING! :D

How could he mean nothing by a comment like that about someone he's never met? I assume he is going by what he sees, therefore judging him by his apearance.

LordKathen 05-27-2003 05:06 AM
<font color=lime>What are you sayin? I should ignore these kind remarks? Its not like I flamed him. I just asked him to explain his remark. </font>

Nanobyte 05-27-2003 05:17 AM
Sorry, just worrying when I shouldn't be. I hope I wasn't insinuating that you were flaming him, and I realize that this is a serious issue, but for my sake, don't make of it more than you have to.

Hmm.. must just be the lack of sleep, or the fact I've been hanging around a 2-year-old for the past two days..

<font color=lime>That is understandable Nano. Trust me, I wish I could ignore comments like this. People often just dont think about what they are really saying. I have been overwieght my whole life, and have been prejudged like this many times. For example, I was bragging about how pretty my wife was to some guy one day and he actually said to me that she must be fat! I promptly asked him if he would like to find out how much I weigh, and then showed him a picture of her. He was shocked that me being fat could land a thin woman, like my wife. You see why I am critical of comments like Iron Dragons. Its wrong! Period. We all act wierd when we are alone. This guy just got cought. And from what I get out of his remark is that well, he was fat anyway, so it doent matter. Maybe I am wrong, but I doubt it. </font>

"talk about being screwed" :D
:D :D

other topic: hey LK maybe you should just pm him its better than letting this thread go off topic. ;)

Gangrell 05-27-2003 08:08 PM
LK, don't bother asking Iron D what he meant, you already knew what he was talking about anyway and picking at it will just start flames. Anyway, I thought he was talking about facial wise but let him be to his opinions.

Just don't worry about it LK, sure people get made fun of because they're big, but I don't, I actually have a lot of good friends because of it. Dating wise, "There is nothing wrong with big people, there's just more of us to love." ;)

Yorick 05-27-2003 08:11 PM
The "improved" version is pretty funny. [img]smile.gif[/img] I love it that that somehow happened as well. I wonder if the "improvers" knew the guy or not. I'd assume not, so it's very funny IMO. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cloudbringer 05-27-2003 09:12 PM
LOL! I bet most of us have done something silly, humiliating or just goofy when alone so I can feel bad for this kid and laugh about how I never actually taped myself and let someone else get hold of it! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I hope the kid takes all the donations he gets and enrolls in a martial arts class...but he should ditch the broom handle.. LOL!

Just over one month ago a video that was never meant to be seen by anyone except its creator was uploaded to the Kazaa file sharing network. If you downloaded it, you would see an overweight 15-year-old teenager holding a golf ball retriever pretending it was actually a double-bladed lightsaber,
like the one used by Darth Maul in STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Totally without self-consciousness and with real intensity, the teen awkwardly dances about the small studio, spinning and whirling both himself and the retriever around. At some points he even makes the appropriate VRROOOM! lightsaber noises.
It’s something a lot of STAR WARS fans did when they were younger (and maybe still do when no one is looking.) But for the teen on the video, his mistake was leaving the tape where other kids from his Quebec high school found it and uploaded it to Kazaa to humiliate him. Soon video game fansites and computer geek blog websites were linking to the video. But when some video game developers saw the video they modified it to include an opening scrawl like the ones at the start of the STAR WARS films—as well as adding lightsaber and sound special effects. And then the popularity of the underground video really took off.
To date, at least two million downloads of the so-called “Star Wars
Kid” short have been downloaded from various mirror sites. The story is now reaching critical mass, with articles appearing in Wired, the National Post, even The New York Times all this week. And hundreds of anonymous viewers are leading a wave of support for the teen seen in the video.
The Star Wars Kid, known only by his first name Ghyslain, has taken a lot of hurtful comments and laughter from the kids at his school, but now the tide is turning. A website has set up a donation form allowing fans of the Star Wars Kid to donate a few bucks to show their support of his passion for being a kid at heart, and to show there’s a difference between laughing with someone at at them. Even though the site owner was only expecting enough to buy Ghyslain an Apple iPod, over $4,000 dollars has been donated so far. The website’s owner promises every cent will reach Ghyslain.
Reached for comment, the “Star Wars Kid” just wishes all the attention he’s received had never happened and the genie was never let out of the digital bottle. Nevertheless, Ghyslain’s video has touched a nerve amongst fans who may remember times when they weren’t the most popular kid at school, and when the imagination and courage to pretend to be a Jedi Knight wasn’t something we felt embarassed about.
On behalf of those of us who ever switched on a flashlight with a plastic tube taped on the end of it, we say to Ghyslain: May the Force be with you!
That wasn't one of my best ideas... ;)

LordKathen 05-28-2003 09:30 AM
<font color=lime>Right on! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] This kid deserves every penny! Just goes to show, you should never judge a book by its cover. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D </font>

Luvian 05-28-2003 12:55 PM
Ok, either my joke was very bad or no one saw it...
