Wow. So... some kids made a video apparently parodying their math teacher. It involves him getting attacked by a rogue teddy bear. The kids originally got expelled from school for it, but then they sued the school. They were duly compensated by the school, but the teacher is still not happy. He thinks the kids made the video to intentionally harm him. As the lawsuit states:
"The defendants intentionally created the 'Teddy Bear Master' and intentionally used the plaintiff's name in such a way that would provoke a reasonably foreseeable emotional disturbance or trauma."
Now, I'm no expert at psychology or litigation... but I figure there was no great plan to cause emotional disturbance or trauma in the teacher. I think they probably did it because they thought it would be funny... but that's just me.
We'll see how it plays out in court.
