This Wikipedia article speaks for itself:

On November 3, 2002 a Canadian student made a video of himself swinging a golf ball retriever around as a weapon. The video was filmed at his high school studio, and the tape left in a basement. It was taped over a portion of a basketball game (as seen extremely briefly at the end of the clip). The video was discovered by a schoolmate, who showed it to his friend who created an electronic file from the video tape. The video was distributed amongst his school’s students when it reached a fourth student, who uploaded it to the Internet under the title Jackass_starwars_funny.wmv.

This video has been seen 900 million times. And it’s funny. Every. Single. Time.

His family filed a lawsuit a few years ago arguing that he had suffered undue harassment as a result of his antics. Which I suppose come with the territory, but how could he have known?

I think it’s safe to say that Star Wars Kid’s Monday is WAY worse.

With that, I give you Star Wars Kid…
