One of the morning shows had a bit on this story. They aired a good 30 seconds of the video in typical fashion... voicing over scenes from the various videos, they spun on about harassment, and how the kid has suffered, citing some dude saying that the mvie has been downloaded about 20 million times. Ironic, since anyone who hadn't seen it, will be much more likely to see it, and will only add to the boy's chagrin.

Personally, the kid needs to buck up and turn this to his advantage. He could almost certainly get on some of the talk shows, make some quik money...probably enough to pay for college.
The videos are funny as HELL. I bet if he wanted to he could get on some talk shows and do the act himself making fun of himself in public for some quick cash.

 
Dude, if I were that kid, I wouldn't be a dumb b1tch about it. I would take the extra attention and try to become popular at school. Maybe even film "Star Wars Kid: Episode II" and make a joke about how he did the first one just for fun. Laugh at my self and go up in the ranks in school. I'm sure I would be the envy of every hot chick in school if I did that and I would probably be banging 12 of them at once because I'm so popular. That kid is a freaking dumbass.

Some people can do that, some can't. Obviously he can't. And part of the reason he is having these troubles, besides the fact he is probably a dork with no social skills, is the fact that people keep calling him a "dumb b1tch[sic]" (by the way, you can say bitch here), or a "dumbass." Really, who hasn't picked up a broom or something stupid and did the whole light saber thing? Oh well, hope everyone that does give this kid a hard time never has to deal with anyone that is in the middle or on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It ain't fun, for anyone. Except you all, aparently.

I'm not calling him a dumb bitch about the whole "Star Wars" lightsaber thing. Everybody has done that once in a while. Im talking about how he can't stand up for himself or make a joke about all of it and brush it off casually so the only thing he can do is sue.

I understand that. I guess I should have broken the post down into smaller chunks to make it easier to understand. I ramble too much. I just get started typing and sometimes forget to stop for a second and... Yeah. Anyways. Some people can take the laughter and roll with it. He obviously can't.

I don't know about you, but when I was in high school I only had to worry about my school mates seeing or hearing about the dumb things I did, not the entire world. To have the entire world laugh at you has to beat you up a little bit.

I think your Star Wars Kid: Episode II or whatever idea kicks ass. 😀

EDIT: I see the mini-movie opening up to a scene of kids laughing at a computer monitor as the first video is shown, SWK kicking the door down, light saber blazing. SWK manages to kick the butts of the laughing kids, destroys the computer, and cuts his finger on his lightsaber or something before putting it away... Or not.
