OK. Some of you may have seen or heard of this. Drunken Jedi Master. Apparently, this kid taped himself and didn't want the tape to get out. But then his high school buddies found it, posted it online. Now, he's some sort of cult hero, as this Web site shows...but, his parents are suing the parents of his friends for emotional distress. Even though the kid on the tape is getting like, half the money from all this stuff, I guess. There's even apparently a petition to get the kid a brief bit part on the next Star Wars flick, and rumors have George Lucas seriously considering it. Now, of course, this all could be rumors...who knows. Personally, I think it's pretty damned funny to watch. :) And I've only watched the Lord of the Onion Rings and the digitally enhanced version of his original tape (with light saber and photon beams). Pretty funny how being completely geeky and making a fool of yourself can get you brief stardom. :)
