Middle Earth Peace Process

[Stark]

MINAS TIRITH (Gondor News Network) - Thousands of peace activists took to the streets of Minas Tirith and other cities of Middle Earth today to protest what they termed a rush to war with Mordor.

?We need more time for diplomacy,? said a key member of the Middle-Earth Security Council, Saruman the White. ?I am not convinced by the evidence presented by my esteemed colleague, Gandalf the Grey, or that the Dark Lord Sauron presents an imminent danger to the peoples of the West.?

Many of the people protesting war in Mordor agreed with Saruman?s remarks. ?Sauron says he?s destroyed his Rings of Mass Destruction (RMD) and that?s good enough for me,? said one fellow carrying a sign that said ?Elrond is a Balrog.? Another demonstrator urged, ?Give the RMD inspectors more time. There?s no reason to rush to any judgment just because Mount Doom is belching lava, the Dark Tower is rebuilt, and Osgiliath has been decimated.? A third protester piped up, ?I haven?t heard a single bit of convincing evidence connecting the Nazgul with Sauron. I think they destroyed Osgiliath on their own initiative without any support from Sauron. Besides, it?s understandable they?re angry with Gondor. We haven?t done nearly as much for the Orcs and Goblins and Easterlings as the Nazgul and Sauron have. It?s understandable they throw their support to them. It?s our own fault really.?

As the protesters continued their march through the city, they chanted, ?No blood for Mount Doom,? voicing a common sentiment that the leaders of the Western peoples are really seeking to get their hands on the powerful Mount Doom, where the One Ring of Power was allegedly forged.

Gandalf the Grey was unavailable for comment. A spokesman said he was in an undisclosed underground location, which sources have revealed is codenamed: Moria.

For example:

"One might think that Tolkien opposed totalitarian regimes while appreciating democracy as the perfect form of government. Actually, not only was he a proud supporter of the English monarchy, he also strongly criticized democracy: "I am not a 'democrat' only because 'humility' and equality are spiritual principles corrupted by the attempt to mechanize and formalize them, with the result that we get not universal smallness and humility, but universal greatness and pride, till some Orc gets hold of a ring of power ? and then we get and are getting slavery.""

The Orc himself.

as i understand it in the far east(China) It is already available on dvd as long as you don't mind the "for your consideration" script and the beginning of a few scenes. Looks like those enterprising chinese movie pirates are already making a killing with it. If you know any airline pilots or crew that fly to china i bet they could get you one.

It's OK to poke fun at humorless Republicans. But when you make fun of the left wing, it's just bad taste.

The two-disc standard theatrical edition is right now due out in June 2003. Most video rental places already know when all of the Oscar-nominated movies are coming out on video, and that's what they've been told.

Okay so it's funny.. but it doesn't apply to the current situation as the author would have you believe.

It was a joke. I think it applies to the current situation as much as the author intended it to (which is to say enough to be amusing).
