STAR WARS KID
Thanks to Brad and Mark for their annual Festivus For The Rest Of Us party on Saturday. I had a great time even if I was in Etobicoke!
Have you seen the “Star Wars Kid”? This is supposedly the most shared clip in the world. The 15-year-old Quebec teen is now known around the world as the "Star Wars Kid." The "Star Wars" clip has caused nothing but grief for this kid and he tried to sue the fathers of three former Grade 11 students who allegedly posted the video online in 2003, but settled out of court earlier this year.
The video clip has taken many forms from this (the original)
