Strange Art by Jeremiah Palecek

Ladies and Gentlmen. I give you. The Star Wars Kid. The video was originally recorded in November of 2002. The kid in the video is in fact a 14 year old French Canadian who had recorded himself widely swinging a golf ball retreiver around like a double edged light saber. Presumedly imitating Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode 1. As of 2006 it has been estimated by The Viral Factory that the videos had been viewed over 900 million times, making it the most popular viral video ever on the Internet. Unfortunately the attention was not welcomed by the videos creator and it is rumored that after the incident he transferred schools to avoid embarassment. If he only knew that most of the people “lauhging” at him were also laughing at the fact that they possibly would have acted exactly the same way at that age. Everyone looks goofy at age 14. The star wars kid embodies the best of this.
