3. You didnt read the text....

Its funny because its funny.

Its funny because we all DID do stuff like that when we were young.

Its funny becuase it go souped-up edited and to look really cool.

And its funny because this is one of the cooler examples of something so small being show to the world.

Read the text on that web site, its in good fun. BTW, this kid is gona get the last laugh when hes on Letterman in a couple a weeks doing the same thing for the audience and getting applause.

Writting in bullet form on the other hand is not funny. :)

4. Oh, this kid

Bunch of online geeks from Slashdot and the like pooled money and bought him an electronic doodad, an iPod if I remember right. Now he's sicced his lawyers on the crew that uploaded the original vid to the net. Kinda soured whatever sympathies most folks had for him.
