The Last Airbender Film Boycott -- Video #1

Filming has already begun and knowing the film industry, they will now sail along at due course. So for us, if there is one thing were people can hit them and they will get the message it's the thing that Hollywood's religion: Their Wallets!

However, a simple boycott text petition would not do for us. It's one thing when a bunch of random anonymous people on the internet posts on some back end fan forum that they will not see the movie. It's another thing entirely when someone has a real name and face attached to that and it's publicized on the internet and the news.

The Last Airbender Video Boycott, is quite simply all of you guys and a YouTube page. I have a candid formal Boycotting statement that people will record them self's reading; revealing their race, first name and location. The statement declares that they will not see the movie when it hits theaters next year and thus they have lost money from one of their potential customers. These videos will then be send to me were I will upload them to our new boycott YouTube page debuting this Friday.

Over time, more and more videos will be up on our page. We will also link to other videos such as presentations, rants and other things on video about the Avatar World and how bad Paramount is screwing up the film.

When enough videos are collected, I will take them and edit them together into one rapid-fire viral video that will be sent to my friends who work in national newspapers and TV news channels.

The whole point of this project is to communicate to Paramount, M. Night and others working on the film that the fans of the Avatar show are a very diverse multi-racial and multi-cultural community. And that by offending this community, they have lost ticket sales from this group in return. Filming has already begun and knowing the film industry, they will now sail along at due course.

@ZukoFire915 Avatar is so OBVIOUSLY culturally specific, you'd have to be blind and deaf not to notice the Asian martial art stances, the art, the characters and their costumes, the themed music.

And btw Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 6%, so have fun seeing a crap movie 3 times . Everyone says it's a waste of their life, so if you want to waste your life by seeing it that many times, all I can do is LOL. I guess only someone who couldn't see the cultural parallels would go see it 3 times.

@ZukoFire915 - Asian Culture is present throughout the entire show and the main characters have dark skin. So, they're not Caucasian.

I'm boycotting it because it sucked. I dont care who the actors are, as long as M. Night Shamilan is not the director.

@THESWAMPWOOKIE

MANY ACTUALLY.

[despairedboy]

funny how a few poor casts of "tolken Asian" can make so many people buy into the whole "culturally diverse" thing with the pathetic excuse of a movie

[ThomasHartStudios]

@THESWAMPWOOKIE

Dude your caps lock is brocken! The eye colour is a fantastically feature, like the art of bending. Asians can´t bend in real life, but they can in the cartoon, likewise they can have blue eyes.

Hey, what you reading down there huh? FAIL

@leecfb000 Racism isn't always blatant; sometimes it takes a little critical thinking to uncover.

[leecfb000]

It's amazing how people can find racism anywhere if they are looking hard enough, and if these people had actually watched the film they would be more offended by the poor quality than the inaccurate casting.

YOU STUPID SHIT HEAD!!!! THE THREE MAIN CHARACTERS IN THE CARTOON HAVE BLUE EYES!!!!!!!! WHAT FREAKING ASAIN HAS BLUE EYES? NONE OF THEM!!! DUMMY!!!!
