Star Wars kid, par deux: Sympathy For The Jedi

For those of you who felt guilty about laughing at the video clip of the young, overweight kid pretending to be a Jedi a few weeks back, there’s this.

There’s more background about the kid and what happened. Some bloggers are also taking up a collection to get him stuff. Interesting stuff, really.

Slortar, my Mortal Enemy! Hi!

I only became aware of this guy because I was watching Tech TV with my BIL last night. According to them, the total was up to $2500, but I don’t know if that’s US or CA.

This is the reason you always take the tape out of the machine. Poor kid.

Ah, I see my nemesis, Wintermute has managed to survive the bomb I planted in her car. How distressing… :slight_smile:

That’s pretty good news. I hope they put it in a college fund or something for him.

On the other hand, it’s pretty amusing to imagine the expression on the face of whoever leaked the tape when he shows up driving a Mercedes… :smiley:

’ “He’s a young guy,” said Mukerji. “He has self-confidence issues. Obviously, the video didn’t help” ’

Huh, you think?

Whoops, apologies for the double post, the server has been timing out on me.

As for the car bomb - that’s why I make my sisters start my car!

That’s exactly what I said! :smiley: I don’t know what the driving age is in Canada, and I’m not sure where exactly this kid lives, but where I grew up, I had a permit by 15, and $2500 would buy you a pretty decent car!
