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."

I think that the guy sucks for not parlaying all that exposure into something.
By being a whiny douche about it, it missed out on all kinds of opportunities. I mean when 1 billion people know who you are, you have serious marketability. I mean 1 billion people probably don't know who Barack Obama is.

Maybe you were just a fellow douchebag and didn't know it. Most people have an overinflated sense of them selves. You were probably a jerk, along with all your frat buddies.

Horseshit. You've done something equally embarrassing yourself, this "empathy" you're feeling is due to your possibly being as much of a lard-ass, laughable nerd as he is.
On second thought yeah. Sucks to be you.
