This week's random Internet celebrity, if you have not met him yet, is the unfortunate heavy-set kid who filmed himself doing some, uh, Jedi-style moves. As the now-developing urban legend has it, he apparently forgot to erase/remove the footage before returning the camera to its proper owner, and now it belongs to all of us. I don't know whether this is true or not--I am merely propogating the rumor. For actual "truth" you will have to go to the site of a "journalist."
So, I gotta say: I'm all in favor of people laughing at me. I feel much worse when it's at someone else's expense. Nevertheless, this thing leaves me in tears the more I watch it.
Watch the unexpurgated footage first. Then, watch the "remix," which is a minor work of genius.
I heart teh Internet!
