Avatar film makes fans want to escape from reality, most did so a while back

Left-wing blockbuster Avatar may be inspiring its many fans to commit suicide, according to reports, because of the unattainable idyll of the film’s unrealistic setting.

Lovers of the anti-mining polemic came away from the film seeing the earth as ugly and its inhabitants even uglier. The film appears to compel its fans to completely escape from reality, although most had left it long before the film came out.

At first glance, the nice-looking, ultimately unchallenging film would seem an odd candidate for encouraging suicide. And yet so many of its fans are choosing to put a gun in their mouth instead of the usual, Noam Chomsky’s cock.

Avatar uses advanced 3D effects to depict sophisticated 1D characters. The use of 3D effects also gives the audience the chance to truly experience what it’s like to have a message beaten into them.

The James Cameron film indicts the mining industry for its extraction of minerals that have no identifiable purpose, noting that mines of this type destroy age-old indigenous customs of sex with animals.

The intricately-woven tale shows characters with names like “Sully” and “Grace” arguing about whether to fell this one enormous tree that, it turns out, actually represents, like, trees in general.

The tree is home to both enormous Smurf-like creatures and the element unobtanium. About unobtanium little is shown, except that it costs $20 million a kilo, and that it is highly obtainable.

The film has so far grossed more than $1.8 billion, enough to buy 92 kilos of unobtanium.
