At least it seems like he's getting something for the humiliation.

He taped himself doing some embarressing shit with a homemade lightsaber IIRC. Then some people posted it on the internet.

It was just a staff. A guy at Raven got a hold of the video and added in Star Wars effects.David wrote:TrailerParkJawa wrote:Ive never heard of this, what the heck was it about?

Dammit, I can't see the video around that Torrent crap which doesn't seem to work. Anyone got a link to it that does not involve weird-ass filesharing systems?

Well, if you have an ftp account you don't mind me using, I can upload it for you. Its only 3MB, but its a WMV file.HemlockGrey wrote:Dammit, I can't see the video around that Torrent crap which doesn't seem to work. Anyone got a link to it that does not involve weird-ass filesharing systems?

Looks like yet another person taking advantage of the legal system just because it looks like he can.

He's French Canadian. What kind of tort policy does French Canadia (er, Quebec) have?

I don`t know but its not as dumb as the one who permited an old hag to cash-in 3 million cause she did`nt know how to hold her McD coffee cup.Durran Korr wrote:He's French Canadian. What kind of tort policy does French Canadia (er, Quebec) have?

Actually, she got about a quarter of that figure in punitive and compensatory damages after all was said and done (thank Dog for sensible, award-slashing judges). She would have gotten only $20,000 had McDonalds settled with her prior to the trial.

OK they could have saved a lot of money in dealing at $20.000 but they chose to go to court over the whole damn thing,now i know who`s the idiot in the story.Durran Korr wrote:Actually, she got about a quarter of that figure in punitive and compensatory damages after all was said and done (thank Dog for sensible, award-slashing judges).

I think it's actually justifiable to go to court, but to then accept thousands of dollars for it is a bunch of hypocritical shit.
Posted: 2003-05-31 06:41pm
Why is it justifiable, when you gave the tape of yourself being an ass to your friends willingly? (Or did he not? I forget...)
Either way, I hope this kid gets beat up at school. A lot.

As I recall a person simply found the tape, which he made alone, added the effects and then posted it on the web.DPDarkPrimus wrote:Why is it justifiable, when you gave the tape of yourself being an ass to your friends willingly? (Or did he not? I forget...)

Is this the same vid that was posted on SDnet a few weeks ago?

Not really when the moron left the movie on a public server accessable to anyone, anywhere. If he didn't want it to get out, he shouldn't have put it there in the first place.Sea Skimmer wrote:I think it's actually justifiable to go to court, but to then accept thousands of dollars for it is a bunch of hypocritical shit.

Well this is...strange... What an idiot.

I can understand why he would retaliate, but much of it he brought it onto himself (that public server thing).
