LotR: The Return of the King Protest.

[RaveN]

further proof that stupidity knows no bounds... where do people find the free time to do these parodies?

 

[Chauzu]

This is a joke obviously. It looks like the same webpage layout as the anti-two towers joke protest, so it must be the same people. Does anybody remember if they make a joke protest to Fellowship also?

 

[Ranger REG]

I may be wrong but I think they posted a Missing Person poster of Tom Bombadil.

Welcome to the EN Boards, RaveN. Try to enjoy yourself...

Err... you do realise that it's a joke, don't you? As was the TT protest site.

obviously this one is a joke (see the parody note at the very top).

but how do you know that the TTT one was?

He registered in January 2002...just a lurker. (And my friend from college, which is how I know.)

It just had to be. I'll bet the people who put that site up were wetting themselves with laughter over the outrage it caused. It would have even been funny if their choice of subject matter (9.11) hadn't been so tasteless.

I don't know about the Two Towers protest site but I do know the petition they refered to was quite real and that there were people who took this seriously. I am of the opinion that the TTT site was real, the Elvis one was a parody, and was more convincing but I think there is a good chance the other was real, the movement they spoke of was real (if small and farfetched and quickly crushed).

I like that. That's funny.

Oh, BTW for another Elvis/Elvish joke, see Soul Music by Terry Pratchett.
