LOTR Movie "analogies" ?

An "interpretation" of the Lord of the Rings movies which is, perhaps, not surprising, but intensely gag-producing. For me, at least.

Okay, why mince words? Probably the most incredibly offensive I've ever seen. I would hope it would have been for Tolkien, too, who loathed allegory.

*Choke*

OK, what English teacher gave the assignment to find a "modern" movie and compare it to today's political scene?

I got as far as the fourth paragraph and decided it had to be someone's homework assignment. I also decided that I didn't want to continue reading it until I have had the opportunity to view the movies. I bought the DVD's and the are set for the next thunderstorm when the satellite goes out. Yes, I realize that the satellite only goes out for a few minutes, and it is the only way to get the movies on instead of sports for Bill, the only way without a hand fight and bed moving tantrum, that is.
