Why do you want to be a NA'Vi on Pandora?

beauty=preference=subjective

The rest is just nonsense, like someone is going to tell me that I'm insane because the marketing industry is telling me to be one. Sure, some people are easily manipulated, and once you get few key players into position, you can make fashion whatever you wish, but the topic of vanity holds little interest to me.

I very much disagree. Surgery isn't crude, or else this would not look as good as it does, nor would delicate procedures like this aneurysm clipping be possible. The Na'vi nose could definitely be constructed. The only difficulty would really be the ears, which could not be moved up. They could, however, be modified substantially.

Make up your mind will you? First you say that beauty is subjective, and then you show me pictures of a "good" nose job? Seriously though, it is hard to improve upon that which is already full of fail, and I consider us humans quite fail on the looks department.
