star wars kid videos

My god I was laughing so hard I was crying. Also, watch the second one where they put in graphics, Star Wars music, did the lightsabre effect and sound.

I had seen it.

At first, I was in complete shock. I kept thinking to myself "no, no this can't be real." but then,the realisation hit me that this WAS real!
I watched it a second time in a quasi-numb sense of malicious amusement.
Then I heard that this kid was pretty much terrorized and humiliated at his school until he was forced to leave. So, after that, I didn't think of it as too funny anymore.

Here is an interview with the kid

Star Wars Kid: The Interview-originally posted on Jish.nu
Ghyslain: Yes, hello?
Jish: Ghyslain?
Yes.
My name's Jish and I am calling you from San Francisco, California and I'd like to interview you. Do you speak English too?
Only a little bit.
Well, I'll try to speak in French, but I'll apologize in advance since my French isn't perfect.
Oh, that's ok.
The interview is concerning your martial arts video.
Mm hmm.
Did you know that over 500,000 people have viewed your video?
Yes, I know.
When you made the video, did you think this many people would be viewing it?
No, I really never anticipated that.
How did the video end up on the web?
Actually, it was a mistake. The cassette was left in the studio and someone put it on the Internet.
Then, I guess it wasn't a friend who did this, more of an enemy?
More or less. It was someone I knew.
I only have a few more questions... There was something yellow on the floor in your video, what was that?
It was probably something left behind in the studio from a previous session. I really don't remember what it was.
Some people have taken your video and have added some Star Wars special effects, have you seen these?
Yes, I have seen some.
What's your opinion of these videos?
From what I saw, they look very well-made. It's surprising to see what people have done with a video that wasn't meant to be seen. It's interesting.
Do you have a website?
Personally, no.
What are your favorite sites?
I'm really into computers/computing, so my favourite sites are the ones from the different companies involved... Nothing that I visit regularly.
Do you also read weblogs?
No.
We know that you have a laptop, cell phone, Palm and other gadgets like that. Do you have any other favorite gadgets that you would like to buy, perhaps something like an iPod?
For the moment, I don't have plans to buy any gadgets, but sometime soon I'd like to get an iPod.
Do you use a Mac or a PC?
At home, I use a PC, but I really like the world of Macintosh. It's what I use at school.
If you bought an iPod, would you get the PC or Mac version?
Probably, I'd get the PC version.
Well, thank you very much and good night.
Good night.
