James Cameron is a man who has plans. A visionary, whose films have grossed the GDP of several small countries forced together, and now – the savior of the Amazon.
The Amazon has been decimated by logging companies, God’s angry fist, and every sort of communicable disease that could be spread by tiny poisonous and deadly animals – of which the Amazon is teeming. It’s been so decimated that the Achuar people, who responded to watching Cameron’s film Avatar with their own cries for help because of a dam project being built in the area. See, dam projects in the Amazon are like white space-racing douchebags hunting for unobtanium on distant planets. Cameron shot a short piece about the tribe’s plight, and it’s going to be included in the next special edition DVD of Avatar – and now Cameron is thinking about shooting an entire documentary on the tribe’s plight.
Good luck, Cameron. I know you’re good at telling compelling stories, but they made a documentary about people heroically preventing whale slaughter in Japan, called The Cove, and nobody watched it. And everybody loves dolphins. Dolphins are a way easier sell than Amazon tribes, and still NOBODY WATCHED IT.
But James Cameron with facepaint seems half-way epic.

"The Cove" is about whales AND dolphins being slaughtered by the Japanese village, so technically Mr. Lorenz is correct. Also, you left out a period after you typed "dolphins" and even though "uhhh" is not a word, it should, nonetheless, be capitalized.
