Man Dies From Over Excitement From Watching Avatar - Polidicks

A 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure has died of a stroke likely triggered by over-excitement from watching the blockbuster Avatar in 3D, a doctor says. The man, identified only by his surname Kuo, started to feel unwell during the screening earlier this month in the northern city of Hsinchu and was taken to hospital. Kuo, who suffered from hypertension, was unconscious when he arrived at the Nan Men General Hospital and a scan showed that his brain was haemorrhaging, emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih said on Tuesday. "It's likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms," he said. Kuo died 11 days later from the brain haemorrhage, and the China Times newspaper said it was the first death linked to watching James Cameron's science-fiction epic Avatar. Film blogging sites have reported complaints of headaches, dizziness, nausea and blurry eyesight from viewers of Avatar and other movies rich in 3D imagery.

He must've had an EXTREMELY boring life.

what is an avatar?

... what the fuck

I knew them damn blue people were plotting to kill us.

Wow. The movie is so crappy he actually hemorrhaged.

I am going to be totally unaware of his [i]sad demise[/i] and make a [i]horrible pun[/i]

He probably :byodood: 'd when he saw something other than a wall in this llife for once.

That sucks tho, I feel bad for him. I hope his family is okay with the death.

:v::fh:

The movie was exciting? Other than the special effects the whole movie is running on, it was a crappy movie with an extremely cruddy and generic storyline. It's "Dances With Wolves" in the future, except the indians win.

Wow, I knew the movie was good but this is ridiculous

The movie was way too long, maybe he died from old age?

This is clearly a viral advert for the film.

Holy shit! I wonder what would've happened if Megan Fox touched his dick?
