11.10.09 HINDUS HATE AVATAR
Everyone knows that when James Cameron’s Avatar opens next month, it will fundamentally alter the fabric of reality as we know it. What most people don’t know is that Hindus are pissed about it:
The Universal Society of Hinduism and its president Rajan Zed are demanding Cameron put a disclaimer before and after the new 3-D flick saying it has diddly squat to do with the Hindu religion and its concepts … and the title is just a coincidence.
The concept of “avatar” — commonly known as incarnation — is a central theme in Hinduism and prominent Hindus are worried the movie will completely botch it if Cameron doesn’t bother to explain himself.
Ironically Cameron’s film will reportedly be the biggest ever Hollywood release in India. [TMZ]
Hate to break this to you, Rajan, but there are probably three or four other things people think of before Hinduism when they hear the word “avatar,” so you’re certainly right about the coincidence part. But as long as the Hindus are trying to send a message to James Cameron, I think a severed elephant head in his bed would do the trick. In related news, diddly squats are Roman Polanski’s favorite exercise.

HINDUS HATE AVATAR
Hindon’t get them started.
*bike horn*
Wait…this movie is about Hindus and not the Wright Brothers, Nile Kinnick, or Amelia Earhart????
So does that mean I’m a Hindu?
I figured they were gonna be pissed because there were no song and dance numbers.
The woman downstairs from me is Hindu. I don’t think Hindus wash themselves very well, because she’s has this big pimple in the middle of her forehead ever since I met her.
Holy shit! I just heard that Steven Tyler left Aerosmith!
1987 isn’t going to be very happy about this.
WOOOO! THANKS FOR COMING OUT TO MY AUTOGRAPH SIGNING AND WAITING IN LINE FOR HOURS IN THE RAIN! TOO BAD I AM CANCELING THE EVENT AND AM GOING TO GO GET DRUNK AND TEABAG SOME *GOOD LOOKING* CHICKS!
I hope James doesn’t give in just to curry favor with Rajan.
In a related story Reality is demanding that a disclaimer be put before and after Twilight: New Moon saying that it has nothing to do with the film’s depiction of romance
Rajan Zed and Malcom X are completely ruining the end of the alphabet for more laid-back agnostic spiritual leader Tommy Y.
Should I have gone with curry flavor?
So in the Notorious B.I.G. song intro when the two thugs say…”You got a red dot on your head.” and the other says “You got a red dot on your head too.” Biggie was insulting Hindu’s? I’m…I’m confused.
Sorry, that just has way too much untapped potential…someone should make a twitter feed on it…

Oh hello Crappy! Cumin!
As payback, Bollywood is doing a porno starring a Mexican guy and are planning to call it ‘The Second Coming of Jesus’.
In addition to the blue cats, they should throw in some karma chameleons.
Someone mentioned the 80’s, no?
These accusations came as a real shakra to James.
All Hindu women have that red dot on their foreheads.
It comes from their husbands constantly going (points finger aggressively and repeatedly): “Why are you so fucking ugly?”
I already know that Christians are going to want me to rename my movie about all the NASCAR drivers who failed to make left turns and died as a result. ‘Last Rights’ comes out just in time for next year’s Oscars season.
Anybody made a “never go full Avatard” joke yet? Not that I have a good one, just axin.
In related news, diddly squats are Roman Polanski’s favorite exercise.
Also, Roman Polanski has ADD. He can’t focus his attention on one thing for more than 5 minutes at a time. That’s why he got sent home from Concentration Camp.
They really fucking hate ‘Slumdog Avatar’.
If anyone deserves a disclaimer it’s Hanna-Barbera.
Lutherans have a big problem with Haagen Dazs’ Chocolate Indulgence ice cream too.
So what’s their opinion on ABATAP?
