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*

And the idiot woman doesn't know the difference between "than" and "then." [/writing pet peeve rant]

The idiot woman doesn't even know the difference between "patients" and "patience." Kind of funny, actually, in context.

I really can't get that worked up about her misuse of homonyms when the analogy itself makes me ***FROTH AT THE MOUTH***

To be perfectly honest, my brain's outrage function just completely shut off by the time she compared George Bush to Aragorn because he's so gorgeous.

Nor does she grasp the differences between 'your' and 'you're.' (And she seems to have some problems with commas, too.)

To me poor grammar and spelling is evidence of an ignorant, untrained mind. What does she know about politics? She can't even write properly. To me the saddest part of that whole ridiculous essay is tail end where she identifies herself as a writer.
