The Star Wars Kid is back and he is going to be a lawyer

That's awesome.

 

Pretty soon we're going to start getting updates on all of these internet peeps. it's somewhat melancholic to think "hey, I saw that video 10 years ago"... soon. :grin:

 

It seems that a lot of times those kids that do the bullying end up working for those that they bullied.

Cool story, yo.

Bullies peak too early

 

I think that's a feel good myth.

.

 

for the most part. I've seen a lot of ex jocks and a holes in high places too.

 

samfisher is going to work for you?



:grin:

anyhow, i'm sorry to hear the guy ended up in a psych ward for that. though it was funny, i can't imagine how the dude was treated. stay strong ghy.

 

That video is hilarious.

 

hhahahahhaha what the hell is that nerd doing

 

i love the versions with the added effects. :grin:

 

That is not true. Varies from industry to industry. I see that in some engineering firms though.

The kids that used to bully (mostly jocks) ended up as traders in banking. Due to their personality, they usually climb the corporate ladder faster than your quants/nerds. The corporate world and high school share some similarities.

 

Man, **** that dude!

 

even Arrested Development made fun of him

He's a member of a glorified rotary club, he's still in school, he's got some kind of weird rosacia and a stupid smirk on his grin. And his parents sued for six figures for bullying.

 

That video still cracks me up.

 

Is it just me or does

That video, in my opinion, was the first major internet meme hit. Top five video all time. The problem I had with this kid's "emotional trauma" is he didn't have to end up in a psych ward...he didn't have to let it offend him to the point where he ended up being alienated in a psych ward.

To think he's going to have long success because of his experiences is debatable; clearly he's going to have the "trauma" with him for years and years to come, when there should have been a point where he sucks it up, develops a thicker skin, and says "it was embarrassing, but you know, if it was anyone else I'd laugh just as much. So it's time to stop taking myself so seriously and laugh with it."

I wouldn't have wanted to go through what he supposedly went through, but everyone's had their share of social un-acceptance and criticism. Laughter is the best medicine.

But...this guy's probably going to end up being one of those lawyers that gets easily offended and takes himself too seriously; people will still make fun of him for one thing or another, but soon he'll have the ability to sue and prosecute.

 

^ I believe "playball.avi" was more popular than this... but it was more of an UNDERGROUND hit... if you know what I mean...
