Lord of the Rings

From Encyclopedia Of Stupid

Lord of the Rings is stupid.

Lord of the Rings is a shitty book written by J.R.R. Tolkein that was subsequently made into a movie by that fat dude who made King Kong. Lord of the Rings is almost as bad as World of Warcraft. The only difference is the monthly charge and the fact that with the movie all you have to do is hit play and watch people walking. And walking. And walking some more.

The world envisioned by Lord of the Rings is a strange, shadowy world inhabited by troll-like creatures, with its own languages and mythologies. Lurking in this remote, twilight place, far divorced from real life as you or I might know it, are a dangerous breed: Lord of the Rings fans.

Fans of Tolkein's work - let's call them fantasists - are uninterested in the real world. The real world is troublesome - hard to understand, fraught with difficulties, inequalities, demanding interaction with real, live human problems. Much easier to focus on pixies, elves, hobbits, tooth fairies or whatever.
