CNN on suicidal watchers of Avatar

CNN wins the SLOWPOKE.JPG today for Avatar blues:

Mike posted. "I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in 'Avatar.' "

Other fans have expressed feelings of disgust with the human race and disengagement with reality.

There is nothing new to self-loathing liberals being depressed and suicidal, and in fact an early review of Avatar captured it all perfectly -- without the implied surprise of CNN:

[Avatar is] a suicide fantasy, the Hollywood blockbuster equivalent of a troubled teenager’s notebook sketches, scribbled by someone who hates himself only marginally less than he hates the rest of the world.

During the big battle scene, as dinosaurs were chowing down on soldiers, the middle-aged couple seated next to me were grinning happily… delighted by the defeat and destruction of their own miserable species.

No wonder Republicans have more satisfying sex lives.
