Now I’M Depressed!!

Just when you thought the human condition couldn’t sink any lower, there’s word that some sheeple have actually considered suicide after watching (what I consider) a typical Hollywood mass culture movie:

AVATAR-INDUCED DEPRESSION: COPING WITH THE INTANGIBILITY OF PANDORA

The beautiful alien planet Pandora depicted in James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ is so captivating that some audience members are becoming depressed and even suicidal when they fail to find meaning in real life after the film is over.

“I just watched avatar a few weeks ago and I’m feeling depressed and sad. It’s like I want to reach out and be in Pandora. I’d do anything to be in Pandora. I’ve tried so hard to dream about me being on Pandora but it hasn’t worked.”

“Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it. 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.'”

Here’s some advice for these people from another typical Hollywood mass culture movie:
