Madeline sez, "To protest the casting of white actors in Asian and Inuit roles for the live-action production of 'The Last Airbender,' (based on the animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' which features primarily Asian iconography, calligraphy, and fight choreography), fan Glockgal began making t-shirts that read 'This is not a tan' and "Aang can stay Asian and still save the world.'

Viacom, one of the companies which owns a license for the series, has ordered Zazzle.com to take down her storefront.

Glockgal has since re-released the designs with the words 'CENSORED BY VIACOM' in large, friendly letters across them."

AVATAR: ZAZZLE/VIACOM FAIL

(Thanks, Madeline!)
