I admit being pretty damn proud of my TF2 FAQ, but the lovely Indil (and several other sharp-eyed TR readers) sent me the greatest thing any of us will read all day. I have virtually nothing to add to this, so I'll let these quotes from the Daily Mail do the talking:
The London schoolboy left looking unhappy after being snubbed by Transformers star Megan Fox is being flown out to receive an apology and finally meet his idol.He's meeting with Fox tonight. You go, Yellow Rose Boy. You go, and you never fucking stop.
A photo of 11-year-old Harvey Kindlon being rebuffed when he tried to hand Fox a yellow rose has tugged at the heartstrings of America - and as a result he has been offered a trip to Los Angeles to meet her, a website claimed.
After a reward of $5,000 was offered to find out the schoolboy's identity he was discovered by a user of the social networking site Facebook.
Harvey's cousin, 18-year-old Holly Bramley, confirmed to website netnewsdaily.com he will be flying to New York tonight to meet Megan with his mother and a friend.
Film company Kodak are flying the schoolboy - who spells his name 'Harvii' on his Facebook site - over to the States so he can give Fox the rose in person.
An apologetic Megan has promised that this time she will be more receptive.

I actually wore pants like those once. Granted, I was playing Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 5th grade(GT class), and Oberon is called the [i]Fairy[i/] King... Yes, people called me that in school afterwards. Make what you will of that.
-
So is he a special needs kid? I'm saying this because of the above photo, and because this sort of PR damage control is usually reserved for special needs kids.
-
Caption of above picture: YAAAAAAAY I LIK PANCAKES!
-
Good lord...i can't look at the above picture without thinking the caption should be "YAAAAAY!!!11!one!
-
...Amazing. He resembles the infamous Wikinazi Will "Sceptre" Nobel. Wonder if they're related along the same inbred tree?
-
@ Sack: My god,that's the horrible mother in law I never had!
-
Now I bet he wishes that he was handing her a condom...
-
i'm sorry but F**king hell this is embarrassing!.. that boy needs to get a life,... he should take the five grand or whatever and just say F**K Fox! :)
-
Under 13 and providing false information to Facebook (Terms 4.1 and 4.2)... I wonder how long it will take for his account to get deleted.
-
Anyone else notice that this "11" year old is actually 26? He lied on his facebook account.
-
@ Revelo: "when the Internet works together the results are always worth it." Yeah, you haven't really seen /b/ in action much, have you? ;)
-
His dress sense and the expressions on his face confuse me a lot. Is he gay or handicapped? I am not going to pass judgment on him as I have Aspergers Syndrome and whatever makes him unique is fine by me. But kudos to Megan Fox for wanting to correct the mistake we saw on here and also to the people of the Internet for again showing why when the Internet works together the results are always worth it. I hope this guy enjoys himself.
-
I would peg him at a solid 15. And those are the very same dayglo tapered-leg jeans I see on kids in the LGBT teen group I volunteer for, though maybe they have different connotations in England? I don't know. His friend looks at least as old as his mom.
-
This wouldn't be happening if she didn't have a movie coming out this week. Period. She isn't a classy lady. She isn't even a lady. She's a glorified stripper who is just doing this so she can land another 10 million contract so she's not living on cat food in ten years when she's fighting it out with Pamela Anderson for all the other roles reserved for aged eye-candy.
-
I have to say, even if her agent/manager roped her into this, Megan Fox has went up a notch in my book, she handled this classier than some others would have. Luckiest 11 year old on the fucking planet.
-
That kid looks gay as hell so I'm pretty sure this is meet up with The Fox wasted on him.
-
....No matter how much crap's said about this kid, or his awful pants, he's still meeting Megan Fox via a paid trip... And we're not. You rock on, abnormally large British youth! You rock on!
-
I'm sorry, but he does not deserve this treatment. Don't get me wrong, it is AWESOME for him, and I hope he has some fun. But seriously, what entitles him to this? Because some stupid picture went around the internet, he gets special treatment? He's fucking ELEVEN. It's about time his hopes and dreams were shattered, and he entered the real world.
-
Anyone else getting creeped out by that face? No? Just me? F*** >.<. Back on topic.. What the hell is wrong with his fashion sense? Sure he is /11/ But hell.. my 9yr bro dresses better
-
ong. I just friended him.
-
Zero, seeing Megan Fox in person with that much natural testosterone flowing might just make him hetero.
-
oy, you know that pathetic kid from the funny pho-toe. we found 'im, that's royt, tracked 'im down an' got 'im on a plane to the states ta meet megan fox. how ya like that?! man, that's the gayest ending possible to a genuinely enjoyable story up til this point.
-
...wow. Just... just wow. Appy hend?
-
OK... I just want to break some news to you guys, and I hope it's not seen as negative, but I have to tell you about Harvii. Look... My gaydar is *really* good. I mean, like 98% accurate. And I'm telling you that, even though he's not at the age to be sure one way or the other, our boy Harvii there is very, very gay. Now, he may stay closeted the majority of this life, but I doubt it after this kind of exposure... He's not in love with Megan Fox; He's in awe of her, and wants to be like her. I'm sorry. This is my impression from the photos I've seen. The child is naturally geared toward homosexuality, and he's going to take this as a jump-off point to start a celebrity blog, and maybe write a book. He's not a nerd, guys. Not unless you considered Lamar from "Revenge of the Nerds" one of the true members of nerddom. Could I be wrong? Most certainly. Like I said, I'm 98% right with the gaydar; There's a 2% chance he's just kind of tacky, and I'm reading him wrong.
-
$20 says his "friend" is a Personal Care Attendant. Regardless, way to go kid. I'm impressed and proud. All of it makes me like Meghan Fox more, in both PG and other non-appropriate ways.
-
now for the red rose, buddy. get rid of your mom for a couple hours and go for it. there's an FFF in there somewhere... on a sidenote, as much junk as i hear thrown around about megan fox, she sounds like a pretty nice person.
-
Wellies are actually quite in. (whenever it rains most of my students wear a pair in any number of random colors) They are the new Uggs except for the rain, which it has been doing in the northeast of the USA for two weeks, so Wellie lady is just dressing sensible for the conditions.
-
HOLY FUCK, THIS GUY'S ELEVEN???!!!!
-
This kid is the definition of win. I feel like a Dad, "So damn proud of my son!"
-
If this kid manages to bang Megan Fox, he will be the GEEK MESSIAH! pleasepleaseplease let this happen...
-
Some days the Intarwebs are full of win. You go, Harvii!
-
He's ELEVEN? What? But he's fucking huge. Man, I never would have guessed. Those pants are pretty hilarious though. What he's wearing does seem to be hipster apparel, but his age suggests that he's dressing badly non-ironically. Let us hope that 11 is too soon to become hipster trash.
-
*shakes fist at thatcher for stealing his schtick*
-
Does anyone else find this creepy? I just think it has a stalker vibe that has been turned into publicity spin. "Oh look, Megan Fox feels sorry for a creepy fat kid. Let's make sure the media knows as TF2 is being released." You know if I tried to pull some stunt like that by giving Johnny Depp or Matt Damon a gift I'd probably have a bunch of bodyguards beat the hell out of me. Just saying.
-
This kid has GOT to be retarded! Whats with those pants?? He was dressed no better in the Megan Fox pics!! And whats with the wrestler boots the chick on his right is wearing? Where do these people live???
-
screw Megan Fox.....I'd bang his cute friend!
-
oh christ, he's a hipster. of course he would be.
-
oh christ, he's a hipster. of course he would be.
-
Is that lady holding his hand wearing wellingtons? Seriously? Wellies are a fashion choice now? Who knew.
-
now only if the keyboard cat really got to play with Hall and Oates...or drive off a cliff.. all the internet captions will come true!
-
Just look at him. Isn't he awesome? =D
-
In related news, Kodak is NOT sponsoring a trip for me to meet with Fox after she refused my numerous requests to "let me put the tip in." Assholes.
-
...What a retard. I can see what his mom is thinking in that shot: "That'll teach this Hollywood whore to disrespect *my* Harvey!"
-
This kid is just a stalker in training. His Facebook page was filled with pictures of him with stars and singers. he ain't my hero, he's kind of a creep.
-
My God... after seeing this pic, it's so clear to me now... 'Harvii' doesn't want to be Megan Fox's boyfriend, he wants to BE HER!!! Like some sort of British Buffalo Bill, he's going to catch her, hold her captive in a dry well, feed her deep-fried candy bars and chips, and then when she's fat enough, skin her and wear her...all while "Goodbye Horses" plays in the background. Shine on, Harvii, you crazy diamond!
-
Harvii you are my hero.
-
Please say they're going to give him a make over.
-
Is it weird that in such a short article they can't seem to decide if he's meeting her in New York or LA?
-
Aw, very nice to see a handicapped kid's dreams come true.

Yeah and why is Harvey hanging out with Camryn Manheim? I'm kinda impressed and very scared.
-
You know for a moment there especially after reading the article I thought this was part of Fan Fiction Friday... then I scrolled down and saw Star Wars a Nude Hope :(
-
This kid can't take a decent picture to save his life. Can understand looking odd in the first pic, since it was a candid photo, but this one looks as though he purposefully sought to look stupid. Oh well, getting photographed in embarrasing poses got him a chance to meet Megan Fox personally, so what the hell do we know?
-
*stands and starts the slow clap*
-
This is pretty much the Cannae of nerddom.
-
I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Harvey is a *wee* mentally challenged. The chick holding his hand is pretty hot, though. Who the hell is she?
-
Awesome! So glad the kid is getting his wish! (However, HOLY CRAP he looks older than 11)
-
DON'T STOP BELIEVEIN'!!!! HOLD ON TO THAT FEEEEEEEELIN'!!!! Dude seriously, I told you enough with the Journey psych-outs.
-
What the fuck is up with the Peter Pan pants?
