I was browsing the headlines on CNN this morning, and was struck with the absolute lunacy in the video below. Basically, there is an emerging phenomenon of “Avatar blues,” with people who watch James Cameron’s “Avatar” becoming clinically depressed and suicidal. The whole thing is just so sad, and so pathetic. I am not saying people who are depressed are pathetic – no. I am saying that people who get depressed because they’re not living in a fantasy fairy land need to wake up and “get real.” I mean, really? You’re depressed because you’re not an alien? We’ll pray for you, oh poor, pitiable child of God.
(Please note, “fantasy fairy land” does not mean San Francisco during Gay Pride Week.)
