#1 It sounds like the parents are suing and being greedy.

#2 In an interview done by a couple people (sorry, don't know the site anymore), he said that he hears about it on the Net now, but everything is back to normal at school.

#3 In that same interview, they ask him what he'd want if they raised some money for him, and he said an iPod.

Spoke too soon:

That only says point #3. I thought I've read point #2 somewhere, but maybe I made it up... I can't find where I read it if I did.

Ashton · 07-23-2003, 11:03 PM

LOL! what a PUSSY! I took ten times more crap from assholes when I was a kid, of course there wasn't a net to broadcast it across the globe..... but when you're a kid all that matters is whats around you, I wish I could sue the dicks that traumatized me when I was a kid........ but most of them are dead or in jail, which has always made me laugh..... So and so got shot and killed in a drug deal gone bad? Woo Hoo! A round for the house bartender!

zxello · 07-23-2003, 11:10 PM

dude, ghyslain just needs to roll with the punches, he can be a friggin legend if he wanted to and wouldnt be all whiney about it. dont be embarrased, be PROUD!!! and to those kids who put the vid up on the net he should just walk up to them, pull an iron glove and yell "I CHALLENGE YOU TO THE "FIELD OF HONOR!"

Edvard_Grieg · 07-23-2003, 11:16 PM

There's no such thing as bad publicity

CanuckAlert · 07-23-2003, 11:22 PM

Well at least he didn't shoot anyone over it.

Macheath · 07-24-2003, 12:00 AM

Ghyslain cannot seriously be his real name. I mean Darth Ghyslain is just way too appropriate a name.

Comedy never falls into place this perfectly when people write it.

maxero · 07-24-2003, 12:08 AM

hes not the one suing, his parents are remember that

poor kid

blah-uh · 07-24-2003, 07:03 AM

I read about this yesterday and my girlfriend got mad at me for laughing at him still. Does that make me a bad person?

Darkblack · 07-24-2003, 08:10 AM

No one sees the problem because it is not you. Not only is his school making fun of him but also every message board on the Internet had people making fun of him. When he walks outside there is someone there making fun of him.

Sorry, that life would suck.

Lets be glad he went to his parents for help and didn't get a gun.

Why? What difference would it make to any of us? Maybe I'm just a cruel, heartless bastard, but I have a hard time caring about anything that doesn't directly affect me or anyone I care about. Sure, it might be tragic if he shot someone, especially himself, but there's plenty of other tragic things happening in the world all the time -- why waste tears over particular high-profile ones?

Incidentally, the Kabalarians have a name analysis for "Ghyslain", which, again being the cruel heartless bastard that I am, I found amusing. I would've linked to it rather than pasting it here, but they've got referrer checking crap to prevent that.

Quote:

Your first name of Ghyslain has given you a quick, analytical mind. You are creative, versatile, and imaginative. However, independence, positivity and the urge for action and progress are such strong forces in your nature that you find it difficult to control them. You feel happy as long as headway is being made, but as soon as you are obstructed or your individuality and freedom of action are restricted, you experience an intense nervous reaction. Moods of depression can result during which you become caustic and belligerent in your attitude toward everyone, especially to those in closest association with you. Routine, monotony, and the responsibility of looking after details can have a similar effect on you, as you are a person who desires change, travel, and new experiences. In order to gain greater congeniality in your personal associations, you need to cultivate a more relaxed manner, greater generosity, understanding, and tolerance, and, above all, you need to avoid being too outspoken and self-opinionated.

The influence of this name can be very destructive to your health and personal happiness, even though it may take you far in business. You frequently experience nervous tension in the solar plexus. A sensitive stomach and ulcers could result. Also, ailments could centre in the head affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, or teeth.

Darkblack · 07-24-2003, 09:59 AM

Yes I would agree that you are a cruel, heartless, bastard.

If it wasn't for people that care for people other than the ones that are in their family or circle of friends you probably wouldn't be here.

07-24-2003, 10:21 AM

If they got 3000 dollars and only bought an Ipod where did the rest of the cash go?

Nisses · 07-24-2003, 01:42 PM

I think it used to be 300 dollars (that's the price on the apple site anyway). Someone may have added another 0.

Thats absolutely hilarious! It just sounds so....right! Perhaps Lucas could have Darth Ghyslain in Star Wars VII? (I presume there will be one!)

A dubious achievement at best.

Isn't that parthenon reserved for people doing gross/funny things involving their assholes? star wars kid is (thankfully) not in that group (yet)

rogue49 · 07-25-2003, 05:49 AM

Here's a petition to consider Ghyslain A.K.A. "Star Wars Kid"
for a cameo in the upcoming Star Wars Episode III movie.

Aw, give it to the guy, he needs a break.
Beside they are already up to 19454 signatures

ephtien807 · 07-25-2003, 08:00 AM

As a teenager trying to fit in this would just destroy your world. However, if he could just spin it a little he could probably end up on some TV talk shows, commercials and other stuff. Hell i'm sure the Late Show would love to have him as a guest.

DelayedReaction · 07-25-2003, 08:22 AM

The problem is that he's not the kind of person who is capable of handling this kind of attention. Some people take a moderately embaressing thing (and this is only moderately embaressing), and turn it into something positive and enjoyable for them. Others build up on that embaressment, and turn it into something extremely negative and damaging.

I know; I've done both. Fortunately I've been able to develop a far more positive outlook on the way things happen in my life, and subsequently feel that I can handle issues such as this one. On the other hand, this kid is most likely on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I believe his parents are foolish for suing though.

t3m3st · 07-25-2003, 04:15 PM

i would have loved seeing myself deflecting those shots like in the Episode 3 vid

the ones who upgraded the video, rather than just adding dumb music, you gotta pay for that shit, and they did it for free

frankx · 07-26-2003, 04:47 AM

We have all done things in our lives that we are exceptionally embarassed about. I have had the misfortune and displeasure of seeing both tubgirl and goatse. I suppose that they have both had second afterthoughts about letting themselves get in that sort of photographic situation (and I sincerely hope that they have both received help for their obvious mental and physical problems). The difference here is that they were adults who CHOSE to do what they did. From what I understand, the people who initially distributed SWK did it with cruelty and with the intention of humiliating and embarassing the kid in question, and I hope they get what's coming to them.

I agree with previous posters, though. No amount of money will help this kid right now. Just being teased about some mundane, silly thing as a kid hurts like hell, but being humiliated in front of the world like this is quite another level of pain that he certainly didn't deserve. Unfortunately, he will suffer from this damage for the rest of his life unless he can find a way to get past it.

zxello Addict Location: P-Town, WA	dude, ghyslain just needs to roll with the punches, he can be a friggin legend if he wanted to and wouldnt be all whiney about it. dont be embarrased, be PROUD!!! and to those kids who put the vid up on the net he should just walk up to them, pull an iron glove and yell "I CHALLENGE YOU TO THE "FIELD OF HONOR!" __________________ Old signature just wasn't doing it for me anymore, so now I have this new one. It's equally as stupid but at least it looks really long. I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
