Just when I think people suck,.....
I run into stuff like this.
Major props to the guy that made this film. What he did for this kid is incredible. He's a hero in my eyes.

That is too, too, too cool! I usually don't bother watching clips over 3 minutes long, but that was more than worth it.

That's the kind of kid that grows up to put a rover on mars. Or engineer race cars.

Thanks Doug. Not lookin for support. Just nice to know that at least a few people can appreciate something like that.
Looked into the story a liitle further. Seems that guy Nirvan helped raise almost $200,000 for the little kids college scholarship.
