As Payback Towards $200m Government Subsidy, James Cameron Announces Hiring More Kiwis For Avatar 3, By Replacing Blue Cat People With Green Party Members

WELLINGTON, NZ—James Cameron has thumbed his nose at New Zealand ACT Party leader David Seymour’s demand to “de-cringe” the Avatar franchise in exchange for the $200 million subsidy gifted by Kiwi taxpayers.

“I’m not here to make movies for capitalists,” Cameron declared. “What I can promise is we can replace the blue cat people with green party leaders and voters. I hope David Seymour will be pleased about this, with me hiring more kiwis in high profile roles.”
