According to the New York Times, someone h25 com สล็อต out there thinks that James Cameron’s Avatar is big h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ budget mental poison because of its on-screen tobacco use. Let’s start there, as we walk the winding path toward Avatar’s video game association.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); });
The someone who thinks that Avatar showing a fictional character smoke is “like someone just put a bunch of plutonium in the water supply” is Stanton A. Glantz of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco. Glantz is referring to actress Sigourney Weaver’s character Grace Augustine.
James Cameron has taken that assessment seriously, responding to the Times, that Weaver’s character is a rude, foul-mouthed smoker for good reason. He says that “from a character perspective, we were showing that
Grace doesn’t care about her human body, only her avatar body, which again is a negative comment about people in our real world living too much in their avatars, meaning online and in video games.”
Now, I’d be offended by that, ever u31 game เข้าสู่ระบบ so slightly, but I just ate enough candy to make myself
feel ill and plan on being motionless in front of the TV tonight playing Bayonetta. So maybe you’ll be offended on my behalf. ‘Avatar’ Joins Holiday Movies That Fail an Antismoking Test [NY Times via Wired GameLife]
