Imagine my surprise when I saw the Bad Lightsaber Kid clip appear on a FOX News show this evening, during the show's closing entertainment report segment, under the banner of "Nerd Alert."

Host: "Remember that Darth Maul whom fans claimed was the best thing about STAR WARS: EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENANCE? Well, apparently this kid thinks he's better." And then they showed the clip, twice!! It was hysterical.

Did anybody else see it?

The ONE time I miss the FOX report and they play something Star Wars related. Terrible, terrible. Everyone send emails to get them to repeat!

Email is: foxreport@foxnews.com

My parents and I were cracking up.

They also did a feature on Indiana Jones finally coming to DVD. Sheppard Smith seemed to a real kick out of Bad Lightsaber Kid. lol!! I guess it goes without saying that someone at FoxNews cruises the boards here. How else could they have discovered it?

SWEET! Which version did they show? The raw footage version or one of the edited ones with saber glows and everything? God, I would have loved to have seen that.

It was the raw version. And it didn't fill up the entire screen. It was set within a border and centered in the middle of the screen.

Both myself (at TFN Humor) and penny-arcade.com posted news items, and i think slashdot might have as well. Good chance it came from one of those three.

I love how out of all the recent stuff around here that's the saber clip that gets national attention.

    Quite frankly, I see nothing humorous about this at all.

    In fact, I'm quite bummed. angry

    No need to be upset. I'm half convinced it was "leaked" on purpose by the guy that did it.

    There's a rumor that the guy that's in the video runs the notorious realultimatepower ninja homage website. If that was true, i wouldn't be surprised if this got public on purpose.

    You can get the original clip at REAL Ultimate Power. It's supposed the guy that runs the site showing off his ninja abilities.
