This is what I would say to this vibrator



Okay, that's good. No, it's nice. It felt good. It's not you. I tried to explain before that I can't come this way. It's not you. I know, you thought you could, but that's why I told you it wasn't gonna happen. Oh God. It's not you! Are you offended now? Please don't be offended. Oh, vibrator, come back! Oh, you're just gonna smoke? Okay. Well. I'll be here. Waiting.

CNN finally discovers the lure of the "fantasy" genre

It's like a 10-year-old discovering that some people are homeless.

Audiences experience 'Avatar' blues.

"When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed ... gray. It was like my whole life, everything I've done and worked for, lost its meaning," Hill wrote on the forum. "It just seems so ... meaningless. I still don't really see any reason to keep ... doing things at all. I live in a dying world."

Hill also noted that before seeing Avatar he had actually never actually thought about life, nor was he aware that others had one. He currently resides in a cupboard with a witty, behatted mouse and a magical grinder that makes all the ice cream you desire.

"Thinking about life is not as fun as I thought it would be," said a very disappointed Hill. "I'd kill myself, but Mister Hatty Mouse won't let me."
