| The parents of a 15-year-old who made a video of himself fighting with a lightsabre (he improvised with a golf ball retriever) have sued the parents of four boys who are blamed for putting the humiliating footage on the internet to the amusement of millions, according to Canada's Globe and Mail. The short video featuring chubby teenager Ghyslain Raza from Quebec is widely available on the internet, and The Star Wars Kid as he became known has featured in newspapers across the world. According to the Globe and Mail the lawsuit accuses four boys, Michaël Caron, François Labarre, Jérôme Laflamme and Jean-Michel Rheault, of turning Ghyslain into an object of mockery. As a result, according to the claim, Ghyslain has had to drop out of school and will be under psychiatric care for an indefinite amount of time and now his parents are seeking damages of $225,000. |

| That's the beauty of the internet! Doing stupid stuff is one thing; taping yourself doing it and then leaving the tape where someone can find it? Well, that's just asking for someone to post it. |
