Have you guys heard about this? Yet another internet celebrity, and its some 15 years old kid that potentially could have been any one of us . . .

This kid was playing around with a video camera and recorded himself goofing off . . . It got to the internet and then went on its own crazy ride. Some people really put a lot of work into this.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of this kid, in fact people are actually giving him donations for this. One website I saw had sent him about $3,500 USD.

Anyway, enjoy.

I heard a rumor the other day that George Lucas has decided to give the kid a tiny cameo in #3. Could just be speculation though.

I know that there is a petition for it . . . google it to find out where; that could be the source of the rumor.

I remember this going around a few months ago. Created quite the controversy because the RL person didn't know his video was posted I believe and people made some pretty nasty comments about him as it made the rounds. I think he should have a part in the next one. I thought it was cute that he was just goofing around having so much fun.

Edit: I should have clicked on the site before I posted. I'm glad he's getting some of the positive attention he should and if he makes a few bucks in the process even better!

I hope that poor kid has a good sense of humor and can laugh at himself. I'd be so embarrassed. However, we've all done silly things in our lives. Life would be very boring if we didn't.

I'm just glad I never got caught...

Now what I want to know is, how did people add the special effects like that? Either I'm way behind on technology and just don't have a clue, or it takes special software and hardware to do it. If any Joe can do it, I wanna know how!

That was pretty cool if you ask me!

Is it just me, or is there no sound on these? I'm through the first 4 and it looks like there should be some sound. But nothing. I know my sound is working, maybe a codec needs to be downloaded or something.
