I don't understand the thinking of elves these days. They've been turned into a pack of effeminate men who care only for hair oil and shampoo. Look at the pics of Legolas crying for his shampoo. I do realize that there were jokes between Viggo and Orlando, but I beg you to notice that Legolas does have a smudged face at the end of FotR. I also beg you to notice that Legolas fights with a bow, while Viggo fights with a sword. The logical conclusion is that Legolas is clean because he does not come in contact with the blood, thus he cannot become dirty.
As some of you know, I own a game in the Shire about Balin leading the dwarves into Moria. On the way, they had a run in with the elves. I suddenly became aware of this dreadful problem by the insults exchanged:
So my question is this: why are elves viewed this way. Were they this way? Is it because in my RPG it's dwarves vs elves. If so, would the dwarves call the elves these names, or any insults along these lines? When I read the books, I definitely did not get the impression that elves cared for hair shampoo. Am I over-reacting?
Cheers,

PS. If any of you who are in my game view these quotes and recognize them as your own, please do not be offended. It is
nothing against you. I'm just merely curious. Also, I did do a search and there were no plausible results. Although with a forum this big, I'm sure it's all the trick of having the right key word...
