The Star Wars Kid

This is supposed to be the hottest download on the web at the moment.

Basically, the story behind it is that an overweight teenager made a secret video of himself performing some Darth Maul manoeuvers. Then, months later, someone found it and uploaded it to kazza.com where a couple of million people have now downloaded it.
Shortly after, the Star Wars online community got hold of it and added some special effects!

Here is the raw footage:

Poor kid!
Imagine being liberated from the Matrix and then when you're plugged back in, your 'residual self image' is still fat!

I had seen it linked from various websites ages ago and it has spread around rather fast. It was even on the BBC news website at one point.

It was in the Daily Mirror a few weeks ago, but I forgot about it.

I wonder how many copy cat videos there are now out there. People thinking they can do better or get more sympathy. Only really works when it's unique (and unintentional).

[Jonny Hoare]

Indeed. There are always people who jump on bandwagons...

[Bridgie]

who wouldnt for thousands of pounds sympathy compensation

[Adam]
