The Net is an amazing thing.

The Star Wars Kid was just goofing off at school. Now he finds his private performance downloaded by Internet users across the world.
The Star Wars Kid is a 15-year-old from Quebec known only as Ghyslain -- his parents are keeping his last name secret to protect his identity. Back in November 2002, Ghyslain was goofing off at a school video studio and recorded himself fighting a mock battle with a broomstick lightsaber. Over two minutes, the video shows the lone, overweight teenager twirling his mock lightsaber ever faster while making his own accompanying sound effects.
Yes, we've all had our dorky, private moments, but this poor kid is living the nightmare of having his private dorkiness projected across the world to giggling Web users. His friends found the tape, and uploaded it to KaZaA as a joke on April 19. Within two weeks, someone had added full Star Wars special effects and noises to the tape, and the video was linked on gaming, technology, and Star Wars-related sites across the Internet.

It is a community weblog - which means that a large number of users post interesting sites or news to the site, then discuss/chat about them.
It's much like slashdot and kuro5hin, except with a more broad selection of topics. Also, impressively, they don't need to bother with ratings, as the community is quite good about respecting one another's time by not post mostly junk (and what junk there is tends to be fun junk). |
