"Apparently some kid used a video camera at his school to record his Star Wars fighting skills, then failed to remove the cassette.It didn't take long for the online community to remix it with full Star Wars special effects and lightsaber noises." (via waxy.org)

Joedan, "star wars kid" doesn't appear in the first post and the URL is different so why should your search succeed.
Did you try lightsaber in the google MeFi search?

what about the title bar? doesn't that count for anything?

damn, lightsaber. i searched "star wars," "star wars video," "star wars video camera," "star wars special effects" and a few other things, but for some reason lightsaber did not occur to me.

you could've linked the waxy story about the fact that the Star Wars Kid has been found and interviewed....

And waxy is trying to get people to donate $ to buy him a 10gb iPod.
