[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 1069045, member: 317"] You know, while this video is amazingly funny, when I first saw it, I felt a little sorry for the kid. I mean, all of us have had our dorky moments, he was just careless enough to record his and have it found later by other kids. People rallied behind the kid because while they laughed at his antics, they felt sorry for him, and a collection was taken up- in the end almost $4500 was raised to be given to the kid in cash and an Ipod. However, once the kid and his parents filed a lawsuit, all my sympathy for this kid was gone. This is just another ploy to litigate when you're upset, and try to make a few free bucks claiming emotional damage. Get over it. Life will hand you things far worse than this, and if you plan to litigate over the death of a pet, a failed marriage, etc- you really need to re-evaluate your life. Yes, it sounds heartless and cruel, but there is nothing lower than the "I'll sue!" mentality that is all-too prevalent in our society today. So my response is: Hell yeah! Show this thing everywhere, all the time. Its hilarious! Long live Darth Girth!!! Even people who are non-gamers and non-sci-fi lovers I have shown it to find it incredibly humorous. If you can't have a sense of humor about yourself, what have you got? [/QUOTE]
