Hehe, the lightsaber kid has gone mental and started issuing lawsuits.
I hope he wins. He seems like a poor unassuming dork who has gone overnight from being ridiculed by a few people in school for a few minutes each day to being publically ridiculed by basically the entire world indefinitely. I wouldn’t be surprised if this really has fucked him up. It is all well and good to say “Hey, get over it”, but when you’re a kid, being made fun of by eveb one or two kids at school can really be a big deal. Not that I’d know - when I was in high school, I was either nailing 16 year old cheerleaders in the backseat of my Chevy Impala with the hydraulics and NWA’s “Automobile” goin’, or I was administering nipple-twisters to guys like Ghyzlain Raza until they either gave me their weekly Warhammer allowance or went into comas. But, you know, I’ve heard, and I sympathize.
Since I’m a big Ghyslain fan, I clicked on the link. Weird about the lawsuit. That kid doesn’t even know how much he rocks. He thinks people are laughing at him. We’re not. I want to hang out with that guy. I want to go to the mall with him. I will punch anyone who laughs at him.
But on that page, I saw this. Old news, I guess, but Chewbacca’s going to be in the next Star Wars movie? WTF? How the hell is that going to happen? Did I miss something?
Lucas already has everyone knowing everyone else in the fucking universe, with people related and meeting each other and forgetting each other and building each other and what the fuck? Is he just making this up as he goes along?
I know, I know: yes, he is. Fuck Star Wars.
-TomLucas’ story has gone off the deep end. Yes, this is how I feel.
Chewie??? WTF…<sigh> Someone shoot Lucas before he starts fliming please
Yeah, it seems like the Star Wars prequels are slipping you a sly wink about some not-so-clever coincidence every five minutes or so. Sort of makes you want to punch Lucas in the face, especially since most of them don’t even make sense (why doesn’t Vader remember his own droids? Why does Obi-Wan opt to hide Luke in the household of people that Vader knows and is technically related to, rather than… well, pretty much anywhere else? And so on…). It’s like he’s too lazy to make up new material, so he just harvests stuff from the original films. Lame.
It makes me appreciate KotOR that much more, since it’s a better Star Wars prequel than anything Lucas has written.
It’s just like Muppet Babies!
You can start with me, because I’m definitely not laughing with him. Sorry, kid, but you made a total ass out of yourself on videotape. Not that I didn’t do similarly assy things when I was a kid, and it’s just a terrible coincidence that lightning struck you and not me, but it doesn’t make you any less funny and stupid-looking.

I vote that the two of you should fight out your differences in Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves. I guess that calls for a poll…
The problem is that MasTomBlaster rules Quartertown!
[EDIT: So, he would probably win. In the Thunderdome. With the lead pipe.]
Ironic that in almost all other contexts Chicks and “lead pipes” are a fun combination.
About the Raza stripped…
I’d say if this guy ever wanted to be an internet celebrity this probably wasn’t what he had in mind for a means. He’s clearly too young to laugh at himself so bring in the lawsuit.
But hey, if anyone here wants to humiliate me and then give me $100,000, I’m game. I’m cool with that. It can become my new job and I can hold up a sign on the street, “Will Be Humiliated for Lots of Cash!”
What’s going to scar the kid more… the tape or the lawsuit?
A bit of advice Brian: if you’re going to start selling it, maybe you should stop giving it away here. Supply and demand and all that.
zing.
I agree. He’s brilliant. Unfortunately, a lot of the world isn’t laughing with him, which is sad really. I mean, he looked like he had a lot of fun doing that… why should we laugh at that?
If you went to school in the British Isles, you did none of these things - although I can believe that you got dead legs and nipple twisters.
Nailing 16 year cheer leaders indeed…
And your first vehicle was probably a rusted out 1982 Vauxhall Nova which couldn’t stay in 3rd gear - which you got some time after starting your first job.
Ghislain was already cursed by his parents, poor sod. Suing just confirms that he is an ass, as is amply demonstrated by the video. Which is sad, because I was kind of hoping he understood what he was doing when flailing around in front of a camera. Of course, it could just be a parent being an idiot. Again.

The cognitive dissonance going on with “the kid is actually really cool!” thing makes my head hurt.
You could be a prank monkey!
Why isn’t this kid trying to get on Letterman? Remember when Letterman had the girl from that Gap commercial come out and dance around? You don’t think Letterman (or Conan or whoever) wouldn’t love to have this kid come out at random intervals and do his thing with the lightsaber? Possibly while crashing into things? And I swear some of his movements look like Chris Farley. This could be a whole new career for this kid.
Okay, Rywill, McCullough, get over here.
Actually, Ryan’s pretty stocky. And he rides a motorcycle. Plus he’s a lawyer. So McCullough, you’re the only one who needs to report for a punching.
And actually, I was only talking about the theoretical time that me and Ghyslain are hanging out at the mall. So you’re off the hook, too.
The whole point is that Ghyslain’s video personifies that unselfconscious abandon that only kids can have and that adults grow out of. Except for when they’ve had nine beers.

Try calling them the “British Isles” in Ireland, buddy, and we’ll see who has the dead legs. Here’s a hint - they’ll be the ones stuffed up your own rectum. Anyway, I’m not sure if I get your point - are you insinuating that I am prone to hyperbole or something?
