Would you prance around with a golf-ball retriever for $160,000?

  1. Hell yeah, easy money and I need to buy some more supplies for stalking Snowmane!

    It turns out, that kid, or his parents rather are suing the kids who got the video of him, and posted it on the internet for about $160,000 dollars U.S.

    Here's the actual story.

    Personally I think it's pretty fucked up they're targeting the families, when I'm sure the online media sites that host the said files would probably be a better target.

    Anyway, you have to ask yourself the question "Would I prance around with a stick for 160,000 big ones and a possible Episode 3 walk on?"

    They probably just want the money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and publicity and money and money and publicity and money and publicity. Like someone who paid people to kidnap his own children for publicity and a chance to meet the president.

    Anyone with a brain would know a quick 5 seconds search on google would yield the file...

    And for those of you without a brain Chalupa, here is the main SWK site.

    I recommend the original, SWK 2.0, SWK reloaded and the Mortal Wombat one. You MUST of course have sound capabilities. They're just hilarious!! :lol:

    They were really funny. I think the light-sabre wielding boy was very daring to have his video on the net. :)

    It wasn't exactly by choice. He's a French Canadian who sneaked into his school's recording studio when he wasn't supposed to and used the camera in there to record him messing about, pretending to be wielding a lightsabre.

    He got more and more into it, intending to take the video home with him but he forgot to take it with him. As far as anyone can tell, he was either disturbed and legged it, or was just too excited and worked up to remember.

    Either way, the video was discovered when they filmed a school sporting event and his friends thought it would be funny to paste the videos on the internet. Very embarrassing for him, but very funny for us.

    Personally, I don't think he should sue. Loads of people absolutely love it, over 25,000 people have now signed a petition to get him a cameo role in Episode 3 and he's now famous. I would have thought he could make money through autographs, rather than sueing.

    Sure, there are many people out there who thing he's a bit wierd, but many many more who think he's cool. How many people can honestly say they've never had a mock sabre fight with friends, or some such thing. I doubt many people can. He's not mentally unstable by any means - he was just caught doing what many people the world over have been doing for centuries - pretending to be people or characters they admire.

    A high-school buddy was working on a game called Mortal Wombat, years and years ago. He had a bunch of graphics done, it looked pretty funny.

    Too bad it never hit the big time. I was into street fighting games back in the day and would like to have seen it.

    Why do you assume it was a street-fighter genre game? It could have been a Wombat Ass-Raping game for all you know. :lol:

    I really feel kinda sorry for the kid. I mean, we've all been caught doing some embarrassing shit, he just had the dumb luck to have had his put up for the world to see. Poor guy.

    Oh, and thanks, brother evileyes, for giving me my own special voting option. You hit the nail on the head with it, too. Although, I still think humping destitute pigs would be more entertaining than nearly killing myself with a golf-ball retriever.

    I agree.

    Ferret, I find it suspicious that you IMMEDIATELY jump to the wombat fetish conclusion (weirdo).

    I didn't. If you'd read my post you have seen that I had merely stated it as another alternative option. There is no bias towards or against it. :D
