He’s been around a while now, and personally i think he rocks 😃 In case you don’t know who i’m talking about, take a look [here](http://www.jedimaster.net) . Unfortunately, his parents arent too happy with the kids from school who originally put his “home video” on the net, so they’re gonna sue them for i dunno how much, theres more on it [here](http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,59757,00.html) . It’s pretty pathetic IMO, he should milk it for as much money as he can get - hell he’s already got an iPod out of it! What does anyone else think? ---

I read that the kid in question, from all this publicity, has suffered a breakdown and is being treated (or possibly, was and has since been released) in a mental hospital. I think what those kids did to him was pretty awful ---

I used to do this all the time as a kid (thank god the internet wasn’t around to the extent then as it is now) and I wish I had that kid’s moves. ---

OK, this site is publicizing this kid’s nightmare by making the video available on yet another site? Gimme a break. ---
