Return of the Star Wars Kid

Bah, the video game version was far too graceful to compare to the real deal. And what's with that game? The commercials I've seen for it make completely random.

Oh good lord, would they leave that poor kid alone. He's got to be scarred for life as it is.

I thought maybe he'd been made a playable character, which would have been much cooler. I think the kid probbaly would have been proud of that.

I understand if you press A-B-A-B at that moment, you'll be able to bring up a simulation Paypal donate screen, only then to be given a simulated lawsuit by a simulated mother.

Realized I sound like a crazy without the appropriate funny link

I just watched the Venture Brothers for the first time (from the Cartoon Network's adult swim thinger) and was highly amused when a sidekick got himself a fake light saber and did the Star Wars Kid thing. You're on TV now, kid. Just go with it.

Poor kid...

It is funny that it made it in to Tony Hawk...just as a statement on the cultural splash and meme it became, but I wonder, in all seriousness, about the legality of it. (And while amusing, I do find it a tad ethically unpalatable.)
