The Star Wars Kid Is Back

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."

    It's your fault for reading it somewhere else and not immediately posting it here. Ask not what Slashdot can do for you, ask what you can do for Slashdot!

    I used to do that all the time, but I got tired of my submissions getting passed over for days/(weeks) and then once the rest of the major online media outlets decided it was worthy to report someone else's late submission got pushed though.

    Why should I waste my time with submissions that never go though when making snarky comments is infinitely more entertaining and rewarding?

    I have an impairment called "empathy". That video made me sad, because I could imagine the position that kid was in.

    Sucks to be me, I guess.

    Yeah, shame on him for not wanting to relive his most painful childhood memory every day.
