Star Wars Kid settles lawsuit with tormenting peers
Boing Boing: In the Globe and Mail today, news that Ghyslain “Star Wars Kid” Raza and parents have settled their lawsuit against school bullies who released the infamous video onto the interwebs.
I’m quoting BoingBoing here because I disagree with Xeni’s characterization of the “bullies.” Clearly, if one videotapes oneself performing light-saber moves using school equipment, you deserve all you get. And, come on, either this kind of event makes you more connected to your inner Jedi, or it serves as a socially-correcting force (heh) by which you might actually get a date. Either way, you’d be thanking these “bullies” later. [I should note here that the first time I saw one of the variants of this movie, I literally laughed until I cried].
