RE: The fat star wars kid
Mick you can take your patronising sarcasm and shove it up your arse sideways with nails,needles,and nettles on.
Children are horrible,nasty,vicious little shites to each other on a regular basis there's nothing to be done about it,you can't make kids be nice to each other,if they want to be nasty they'll simply be nasty out of sight and out of mind.It takes time before they learn what behaviour suits them best sometimes they find that being nasty gets the desired results and they become nasty adults.
The classmates that uploaded the video are the same age as Jedi kid they are children too,what they did was probably what the majority of adolescent boys would have done given the same opportunity.
In Europe we don't take people to court on the basis of schadefreude or hurty wurted feewings.That Jedi kid had stated on a radio interview a while ago that he really wasn't that bothered by the video he certainly doesn't think that way now it couldn't be anything to do with the money could it?.
He also has a lot of support from a lot of people on the web there are sites devoted to him
http://www.jedimaster.net/your_videos.htm
and here's some adults making knobs of themselves

There are a lot more embarrassing situations to be caught in he could have been caught having a wank with a screwed up face while watching a "horny hamsters" video now that would be embarrassing.If he's having problems with this how will he handle life?He needs to grow a hide because there are far more serious issues to deal with in life than embarrassment over mildly absurd light sabre gymnastics.
I think that in this case
'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Than to take lawyers against a few classmates,
And by a courtcase sue them.
Oh and I'm sure the $225000 Canadian dollars (although the money of course has nothing to do with the affair it's the principle after all)will be an excellently soothing salve to his state of emotional turmoil.
Obviously Mick your idea of common sense is very different from mine,or do you think that suing his classmates is an appropriate response?
