There was a report in the UK papers about people suffering 'withdrawal symptoms' because after seeing Avatar they felt that the world was drab, depressing and boring compared to the technicolous 3D of the Na'vi planet.

Radio 6 did a spoof 'charity appeal':

"Just £10 will pay for an unemployed person to paint themselves blue and dangle outside their window for an hour. And just £50 will pay for a baseball bat to sort them out once and for all."
