I say we turn this non-airing of Avatar episodes 'crisis' into an 'opportunity.'
I say we punch a hole in the side of the planet in DVD sales Tuesday May 6th.
I say we put Avatar on the mainstream map once and for all.
We have all taken this journey together for the past three years. We started out as total strangers of differing ages, backgrounds and even countries of origin and now we are a community. We are a family.
If it's all going to end, I say we go out in a freakin' flaming ball of guts and glory.
LET US MAKE SURE HISTORY NEVER FORGETS THE NAME AVATAR!
To our Avatar Brethern Outside the US: Look we know you can't take part in this 'Buy Avatar DVDs May 6th' frenzy in a practical way. We don't expect you to. You guys had our backs for WAT and FBM and we have your backs now. Trust me, we won't leave you high and dry. You came through for us, we will come through for you. You will see BR:1 and BR:2 somewhere, somehow on May 6th.
To Avatar Fans Under the Age of 16: Look we know you may be the ONLY Avatar fan in your household and if you went to your parents and asked for a new Avatar DVD May 6th they would look at you as if you had grown a second head. If you can use your allowance and buy the DVD May 6th, great. If you can ask your parents or a loving elderly grandmother for an early birthday, Christmas, Hannukah or Kwanzaa present, go for it. All you can do is ask, fate will do the rest. Just try. We ask no more from you than that.
To Avatar Fans Over the Age of 16 and/or College-Aged: Look we know if you are working a part-time job while in high school or if you are college student your budget is very tight. I remember the days of Ramen soup and tuna sandwiches too. If there is any way you can set aside money to buy just ONE DVD Tuesday, May 6th, please do so. Your one single DVD purchase will help ensure Avatar is glorified in the hallowed halls of record DVD sales for all of time. Yes, it's that important.
To Adult Fans of Avatar: If there was ever a time to come out from behind your computer and make a statement, this is it. We will have to make up for all the groups of fans above who want so desperately to participate and help the cause, but just can't. You must buy this DVD Tuesday May 6th. Truly if you can you must buy several copies. Donate the extra DVDs to your local library, school or youth center. God knows the world at large could stand to be edified by a little 'Mike and Bryan animation epic story-telling magic' right about now. This is it. Neither you, nor I can sit idly by on our collective arses whining and complaining about Nickelodeon's lack of support for Avatar. We must step forward and do this for Avatar, for Mike and Bryan...for our family.
