If you haven’t heard of Avatar yet, you might be living on Pandora…
A group of people from Wisconsin have produced a documentary style video about L.A.R.P (Live Avatar Role Playing)… At least I think it’s a documentary. I honestly still can’t tell if this is a joke or if they are actually being serious.
“The latest manifestation of the ‘Avatar’ craze has surfaced in Wisconsin: Live Avatar Role Playing (AKA LARP). Previous spin offs from James Cameron’s epically grossing 3D film include Palestinian protesters dressing as ‘Avatar’ characters, 3D porn, and a mountain in China renamed ‘Avatar Hallelujah Mountain.’
“I feel comfortable like this, I feel like this is my real skin, you know, and this is who I am,” one of the LARPers, Douglas “Eytukan” Murphy tells the camera. “So I don’t have to be ashamed of it, like a Chinese person shouldn’t be ashamed of being Chinese.” The action takes place in ‘Hometree,’ Wisconsin.” - Courtesy of The Huffington Post.
If this is a joke, than it has to be one of the funniest sketches I’ve seen in a while. If this is however an actual role playing game and everything they say and do is meant to be real, then these guys and girls need a serious reality check… IT’S JUST A MOVIE!!!
Although, I have to admit, I would seriously consider covering myself head to toe in blue paint, wearing an extra long wig and tail, if it meant I could hook up with one of those super hot Na’Vi chicks in the video.
