Remember that Star Wars spoof? That dork twirling the stick? well...

(1) If he's a real Star Wars geek then he should be in heaven. He's geek of the geeks, king of the hill, emperor of the known universe. Ugly smelly women will lust after him at comic conventions and weedy losers will want his autograph.

(2) I for one, and most people I suspect, weren't mocking him cruelly. I thought it was a really funny video, but I didn't think he was an idiot. In fact I thought he was pretty cool. When I was a lot younger, my friends and I used to play lighsabers. Who hasn't?

Look at the number of donations which were received for him. I think that shows that most people are grateful that he made them laugh, by being caught openly doing something deeply and charactistically human - acting silly.

Of course people laughed at him. I would have hoped he'd laugh with us because the sort of humour involved is one in which there is no malice.

I agree, most people laughed because they could see themselves doing the same thing.

ACK!

Sava,
You are kind of taking this personal. Something in this bring back memories of you history, you know being made fun of.

Actually, to me it sounds as if Sava is getting worried about possible repercussions from his own teasing of others...

(that it was posted on the internet by some ***** who had to break into a cupboard and steal school property to do so)

In that case, it's all different. Just sue the **** who stole the video.

But if you can't just laugh and gain notority by saying "Hey thats me" then you DO need help.

(I never saw the video.)

Just sue the **** who stole the video.

That's what he did.

I thought you said you were on the side of the people?

Lawyers defend the rights of people. The people that ***** most about lawyers are also first in line to run to their attorney when some medical malpractice leaves them unable to walk or some pervert takes naked pictures of them and posts them on the internet.

Me.

Surprisingly (?) I agree with Imran on this.

Essentially all of you who are saying Ghislain's 'a fat Star Wars geek, he deserves it', or 'get over it', are saying that actions have no consequences. Or negative consequences.

So far there's been no proof he colluded with the people who took the video and posted it on the net, so he didn't consent to his new found fame/notoriety.

How many of you would like private information, or video footage, or emails posted for all the world to doctor or adulterate or jazz up? Are you tacitly saying its all right for someone to enter your place of work or residence, sample whatever private information you have and then send it to the widest audience possible?

If so, I look forward to the Apolyton Files with glee, as I'm sure all of you calling Ghislain a fat geek are real adonises in peak physical condition....

post the damn video!!!

I think the kid has every right to sue.

Nobody should be using your image without your permission.

Also, I believe there should be stiff penalties for those new cell phones that have cameras in them. Those are just wrong.
