The Star Wars Kid Is Back

Posted by samzenpus on from the embrace-your-fame-you-will dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It was eight years ago that Ghyslain Raza slashed his way into our hearts with his Star Wars Kid video. Sadly, Raza suffered from severe bullying and abuse for his video and eventually ended up in a psychiatric ward for children. However, his video was seen 1 billion times and multiple thousands of geeks came immediately to his defense. While those must have been the worst years of his life, things are now looking up."

  1. I did not laugh at him by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I did not laugh at him, but I laughed at the people who did laugh. Its difficult for me to believe that even among so-called adults there is no respect for performance art and no more respect for geek expression than was learnt in grammar school. I pity those who laugh with disrespect and I laugh ruefully at people I pity. I still respect their opinion, but I pity them for being closed of mind and heart.

    I'm laughing at you now. Its brightened my day.
