yup, another avatar thread
[QUOTE]A couple weeks ago, Babylon & Beyond reported on the controversial comparison between the plight of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and that of the Na'vi people featured in the hit movie "Avatar."
Westbank-avatar
On Friday, Palestinians in the West Bank took the analogy to heart, dressing up as the blue natives of the planet Pandora for their weekly protests against the Israeli occupation and the ongoing construction of a barrier in the town of Bilin.
The eye-catching publicity stunt, which took place a day after the Israeli government began to reroute the barrier to give Palestinians access to more land, drew journalists, as shown in the video above.
At first protesters look like they're having fun.
But the Na'vi costumes failed to impress the Israeli soldiers, who fired teargas at them.
The video splices footage and audio from the movie with scenes from the protest.
"We are here Avatars and Na'vis fighting against the sky people who are taking away our land, and occupying our people," an activist says. "Here, as opposed to Hollywood, this is real."[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry, but I laughed.
Oh for fuck's sake. The film wasn't even that good. It looked nice, that's all. These people have to grow the fuck up. It's a fucking film, Na'vi aren't real, Pandora isn't real, the animals in it aren't real, the only thing real about the film are the humans and they're fucking hundreds of years ahead.

They're trying to make an analogy.

Spoiler Alert!
The Na'Vi are a Human Analogue!

As far as I remember, the marines in Avatar fired tear gas at the Na'vis as well.
What the fuck?
:wtc:

Bwahahahaha
They thought they where being all heroic dressing like that.
god why can't they just shut the fuck up about that stupid movie
jesus christ
Well, I guess they were feeling [i]blue[/i] because of the separation barrier
I think it's a good idea.
Unlike a lot of other Avatards, these guys are doing it as a publicity stunt, and not because they believe to be a fictional race of beings.
I can see the purpose of the analogy, but if they actually thought it would work in thier favour, they must have been high.
:wtc:
If they really thought they would get anywhere by dressing up as movie characters, then they got what they deserved.
Why do I feel that this won't help their cause...

That was great. And the fucker is SMILING with the bag over his head lol.
Bag over head could be a quick two second thing to get away from the teargas. But a fucking retarded idea
