Avatar: It’ll Kill Ya
I imagine we’re nowhere near the nadir of bullshit Avatar stories in the media, but here’s a good candidate: Taiwanese man dies while watching Avatar!
A 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure apparently died from a stroke while watching the film, Agence France Presse reported.
In a truly awesome stroke of relevance and class, the article goes on to mention the film’s box office to date. You know, so readers can make an informed decision about stroke victims in the news.
What the shit, CBS? Aren’t we inundated with hype enough already without this ersatz, hyperbolic William Castle horseshit?
Note: Avatar isn’t a bad movie, at least not according to me. Two posts in and this blog’s theme is looking shaky already!
If anything, this is a testament to the film’s awesomeness, like how speedball is awesome because it can cause your heart to explode.
