AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER - THRILLING UPDATE
Bent Out of Shape - by Jeff Yang of the San Francisco Chronicle.
THIS IS AMAZING. I urge you to comment and applaud this fantastic and brilliantly written article. \o/ \o/

ALSO! If you'd like to join in the protest at the Philly Feb 7 casting call, there's now a Facebook Event! Protest at The Last Airbender Auditions. It will be AWESOME to see a big turn-out this time around. More info can also be found here.
-----------------------------------

AVATAR: T-SHIRTS, BANNERS, BUTTONS*
People requested paraphernalia and I have started to create some.
Check out the zazzle store: AANG-AINT-WHITE. Still sparse, but growing! These products are all at-cost - this is not intended for profit, only to spread awareness.

Or better yet -- MAKE YOUR OWN! I have uploaded a set of printable images for you to download and make your own t-shirts, postcards, buttons, anything. It's cheap and fast and I'll be making more images later this week. If you want to use a slogan that isn't here, I take requests!

***I know these are generalizing the situation, but the purpose of the slogans is to incite interest and generate dialogue.

Preview:



Thanks to ALL THE PEOPLE who helped come up with these. You guys are brilliant. And I'll be making more, I promise!

These all look GREAT! <3

You might want to note that things in the online store are being sold at cost, though, which looks to be the case, just to ward off any haters. ^_-

I know you said the store is still growing, but I'd particularly like to request a T-shirt version of "Aang can stay Asian and still save the world." Great job on all of these!

I just have to say - I was at work today and one of my coworkers started talking about this movie (which I honestly don't know that much about aside from this - I never watched the shows or anything) and how excited she was about the actors. She said something along the lines of "this movie is going to be so awesome! McCartney is HAWT!"

On your behalf, I just about went ape shit on her.

Gettin the word out. :)

Great article!

The mention of Harry Potter made me laugh because I was just thinking what the outcry would be if Harry was cast by a blond American, heh.

Those shirts are beautiful, I'd love to get one and I'm seriously considering it, even though it would have only limited impact here in Japan since Avatar isn't big here and English isn't the main language here.

I mentioned to an American friend the casting of the movie and the Jesse McCartney as Zuko bit and at first she was psyched because she thinks Jesse is hot, but I politely pointed out that Zuko doesn't much resemble a blue eyed, blond haired white boy pop singer and that it's insulting to cast only whites for an obviously Asian-inspired show. It got her thinking and she saw what I pointed out and that made me happy.

Okay, you are the second person with a story of someone thinking Jesse McCartney is hot - THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO THINK HE'S HOT?! REALLY?!!?!?!? He's such a blip on my anything radar, once again I made the mistake of thinking others felt the same way, ahaha.

Regardless of that aside - YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you, darling! And also --

Hey, I just wanted to make sure it was alright, but I'm posting an article to a website called The Kosmopolitan Online and we've been looking for a good pic to use at the top of the article. Would it be cool if we used one of these? Someone else on the site may have already found something, but if not I thought one of these would be awesome to use.

These are all fantastic. I bought a T-shirt and transfer paper yesterday, but it turns out I bought the wrong kind of the latter, and it kind of ate my printer. But when I get new paper, I shall try, try again and wear the shirt everywhere. :)

Perhaps since we received our token Dev, we could have something to the likes of "Wanted: brown people; bad guys only" or something more creative >_>
