CNN are reporting a number of people are experiencing what I have dubbed ‘AIDs’ – that is Avatar Induced Disorder. Or what they have dubbed ‘Avatar Blues’, I’ll let you decide which sounds more awesome.

So what does this actually entail? A bunch of deluded people so enamoured by the world of Pandora created in Avatar that they’re seriously down in the dumps to return to the real world.

Looking at this post’s title, I can see how it can be misconstrued. I’m not affiliating myself with these folks who are a couple mind grapes short of a bunch, but rather that I despair at their straight up craziness. I’ll leave you with a quote from the CNN article to show you just how mad this all sounds.

“Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “

Well now.
