Star Wars Kid Gets $350K+ Settlement

I'll bet this puts a crimp in kids teasing kids at school.

thats 2 funny

it said they reached an out of court settlement from the people that they originally sued for $351k .. nowhere in that article did they say he actually got $350k

he didn't get 350k$

he got a couple of thousand.
10-20k

learn how to read, he didnt get 350k

The kid could have cashed in w/ videos and memorabilia.

Wow if that fat kid was smart he would embraced the star wars fame and gone on letterman and cashed in. :)

DH

That guy got not skills... could have made millions

he'll buy a car, some new drobes, maybe a downpayment on a small house and he will still be mad. Thats what he gets for trying to be hand solo :)

What he said

wtf, if i got sued by that kid id kill him

No shit. What a pussy. Ok bullying is one thing, but HE did the shit. Did someone point a gun to his head and say "Get fat and ugly then go out and act like an ass by pretending to be a Jedi" I think he pretty much did that all on his own.

Damn we host a couple prank sites, might have to talk to the owner about that now.

Wait, so you can sue people now for being made fun of for something you did? Unreal.

The kid is an idiot though. He should have cashed in. Kid could have made endless TV appearances and commercials and made millions.

alright guys, I need to build a new home... so how about I film myself doing something goofy, you make fun of me, I sue you and...
would that have a happy ending?

tell me about it

like those arseholes wern't rich enough! discusting!

Well that text is so big. It is too much for me to read

wtf?

post sensibly you nob

So "USA - i Sue Your Ass" :disgust

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I know, the whole thing makes no sense.

Actually I think he was Canadian.

still stink of the american court system who are being raped by gready folks all the time

I know and the flutter of the birds wings over the small frog makes me wonder.

no, he was from Quebec :winkwink:

misleading topic

LOL

is that the vid of the fat kid all jumping around crazy with light sabers ? hbahhaa

someone post a url to the vid

surprised he even got that, they made him famous before the lawsuit.

Did you see the video ?

Do you really think that kid CAN BE smart after seing it ?

That's what I was thinking. He could have been a star!

poor guy :(

Hooooooo, poor kid, only 350k$ :)

Geez, if you don't want it to be seen by millions...don't tape it.

Little fat pussy fucker.

OMG The kid's parrents deserve a kick in the head each for not getting him an agent.
Every wannabe actor in the world would KILL for something like that on a resume and these idiots decide to sue for a few lousy bucks???? WTF!!!

Very true. He had become a brand. More credible than that Andy Milonakis "kid" (he's actually in his mid to late 20's).

I don't recall him giving his video to anyone and allowing them to use it.

end of story..

Suing for the theft of intellectual property rights would be one thing.... making a big case out of it for bullying is a different issue. It's the wrong angle if you ask me. It taints his appeal as a regular awkward kid.

Which begs the question again.... why BOTHER suing the parrents of the kids who stole the video? There's no money there. Why not go after the site that got 70 million hits off it for starters? Follow the money.

Good news. Can you imagine being him?

Best quote ever:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Mean spirited? come on, it was humor. He could have easily used his new celebrity status for his own financial gain... like William Hung did. You know how many talk shows would have paid him for a impromptu preformance and interview? What an idiot.

post a link to the video.

Okay, I will. Is this it?

Yes, I think that's it. Thanks.

fuck that fat ass loser and anyone who feels like he should get any money

god damn those videos are hysterical

I'd hate to be him though, even if he got some money out of it :p
