Video humiliation nets boy iPod

The Internet is riveted by a video of Ghyslain, a 15-year-old Quebec boy who taped himself using a golfball retriever as though it were a Star Wars light sabre.

An overweight Quebec teen, humiliated after a video showing him acting out a Star Wars sequence was posted on the Internet, will be compensated for the embarrassment.

A worldwide fundraising effort collected more than $4,000 U.S.

The video showed the Grade 10 student, known only as Ghyslain, practicing Star Wars fight moves. His classmates uploaded it to the Internet file-sharing program KaZAA after they found the tape.

Within days, millions of people had downloaded the tape, allowing them to view and snicker at the 15-year-old, who taped himself last November spinning around with a golf-ball retriever as though it were a sabre from a Stars Wars movie, making sound effects and kicking, with increasing speed and flourish.
