I know luv. It bothers and irritates me to no end too... when dragon ball came out, I didn't even bother picking up a dibidi. But here we are again... and to be honest, this time I'm terrifically torn. Especially so since iabsolutely love love love love the series. Avatar is a glimmer of hope and originality in an industry that has sadly been groomed to sell more toys than story: P I blame the shortened attention spans too.

either way... I figure Shymalamalan figures he can continue the rampant racism because he's Indian. Like how Sara Silverman can crack Jew joke up the wazoo 'cause her nose resembles a ski jump.

I'm not watching it in a movie theater, I'm pirating it off the internet, where it's free and illegal. ...And the money might possibly go to a couple of white kids, but that's statistically a LOT less likely, and I highly doubt they'd be involved in the movie's production anyway.
