Causality?


I'm about to go to bed but instead i go to Jedimaster.net for some Star wars kid vids and i find that there were 20-something.. now theres 50-something. But if you've never heard of the star wars kid then your not a true nethead. It's a strange story of a kid taping himself being a kid. He was simulating being Darth Maul, everybody does it, he just got it to the wrong hands. He tapes himself and puts it in his basement. Somehow his 'friends' see this tape and find it funny, therefore if it's funny, it should be 1) sold on ebay (Ghosts in the Jars, Something about a Bra stuck on a Ceiling for years, etc..), or 2) shared with everybody else on the net. So off it goes, and it becomes an instant hit, ok it was funny to see a boy with a metal pole making slight noises of light sabers clashing n what not, but what made it the best was when someone digitized actual lightsaber edges to the pole. At first the kid is embarrassed that he's now a great hit. Some people felt sorry for him and started a 'fund' of sorts kinda like a 'thanks for the laughs, here take this gift from us' type of deal. Well i guess the stresses of teenage life has messed with him and he goes on the Legal Warpath, suing left n right. So now the people who've donated money for the kid is wondering if they could take their donation back. Also it was only 2 or 3 versions of this video that was out. Now theres 50.. makes me wonder about... which came first? (time to bust the bolean logic)

Chicken or the Egg? So you wonder if he didn't go suing, would there be more videos of him? Granted they aren't as good as the original 1 or 2 editions but still. There were rumors of George Lucas making this kid into the 3rd Star Wars movie, why not he's known as the 'star wars kid' just search it online and *bam* he's everywhere. But will he be in it now due to the lawsuits n what not? If he joked it off and let everybody had their laugh, he'd probably had his new toys and be a Movie star to boot, but now you wonder. Say if you are contracted to do the movie since you got the fame from your oafishness and now you change and go mental and sue, would the contract be honored? The Kid is suing the two 'friends' (who knows if they are friends anymore after this), but if he does sue his friends and wins money due to 'emotional stress' then he's double dipping in sorts. He gets the toys from the donations, gets the movie, and gets emotional stress money? But if your in Star wars the movie, would there be any emotional stress? That should be the payback that you needed. You were in front of a camera video taping yourself spinning around n around, you should be in front of a camera with Mr. Lucas then. Now if he does make the movie, would he be ashamed of it 'cuz he's the 'star wars kid?' or would he be pround in that fact. He can make commercials now, gee! it's the star wars kid! whats that product your holding?
Have i babbled enough? i think i just confused myself to sleep, i wonder if i should even post this. Maybe this is how i got a B in Philosophy of Religion Class... Hmmz..
