The Star Wars Kid
A 14-year-old French Canadian student decided one day to pick up a golf ball retriever and pretend, on camera, that it was a Star Wars lightsaber. It was initially shared in 2002 as a stand-alone video file on the Kazaa file-sharing network. Eventually, it hit YouTube.
Although YouTube claims the clip has been viewed over three million times, The Viral Factory, a viral marketing agency, claims the video has been viewed a total of 900 million times, making it the most viral of all viral video clips. That may explain why Star Wars Kid's family filed a class-action lawsuit against the parents of the mean bullies who uploaded the video. They wanted CA$250,000 (£125,000), claiming the boy 'will be under psychiatric care for an indefinite amount of time'. They won $351,000 (£177,000).
