Star Wars Kid Cuts a Deal With His Tormentors

An anonymous reader writes "Ghyslain Raza, who gained instant online fame as the 'Star Wars Kid' settled this week with the families of the three classmates who posted his two minute Lucasfilm screen test on the Internet. No details were released but the suit sought damages of $351,000. A victory for the victims of cyber-bullying, or missed chance by thin-skinned Ghyslain to cash-in as the next William 'She Bangs' Hung?"

    It is not funny, in your opinion.

    But don't tell anyone on earth what we may or may not laugh at.

    The kids who posted this without thinking how it would affect his life are the ones who should be learning from this.

    Oh, whooppeeshit. I was tormented worse than that in high school. I'm sure 90% of the population here was. Where's my $351,000?

    Your Xerox ad is obnoxious. I can't read what you've written and there's no way to block it. It sucks and your site will if you continue to block readers. Check it out in IE.

    As for you Tiger-boy, what in the hell is your major malfunction? You got teased, so you wanted to go around executing whoever didn't like you? Generaly speaking, psychological counseling might have been a little more productive. If you'd seen a shrink early enough, you probably wouldn't have all these anger issues today.


    Sheesh, some people just can't read.

    If I wanted flames, I'd just say what you're saying -- I see YOUR post as flamebait of the finest caliber.

    Do you know me? Do you know my experiences or my thoughts? No, right?

    Then sit down, grab your coffee, and STFU. You're just adding noise to the signal.

    As for shrinks, them and their drugs are about as worthless as our so-called school system. Been there, done that, quite a bit thank you -- it don't work for me. I refuse to become a sedated, drugged zombie just to conform to society's expectations. As I grew older, I lost my fantasies of rusty icecream scoops. They were replaced by fantasies of other kinds -- fantasies of an intelligent America.

    Shit, that one won't happen either. x.x

    Would that work for rape too? How about child abuse? Someone abused you and filmed it? Great, make a sequel!

    You're not seriously comparing an embarrassing video of someone dancing around to rape, are you? Yeah, I'm sure women think it's EXACTLY the same thing.

    Sorry, but there's a reason why some people are bullied, and some aren't. But I don't think you're prepared to hear that truth.

          2. An act or instance of such falseness."

    You did it, I didn't. That was pretty snippy, but it just made you look like even more of a cunt, and even better, wasn't even accurate. Now that you're a little smarter thanks to me, how about instead of being such a dick you answer the question?

    Why were you complaining to the mods that I was complaining to the mods?

    Strange logic that.
    1. Bully inflicts pain upon you.
    2. You become angry and inflict pain upon them in revenge.
    3. Those that you hurt become peaceful loving people who now understand that bullying and hurting others is wrong because you beat the shit out of them with a baseball bat to the head and groin?! They most certainly do not crave revenge upon you in return because of the eternal wisdom of eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Gandi had something to say regarding this.

    Perhaps you should read Romeo and Juliet and their little families feud as well.
