I found the '50 reasons..' list to be rather amusing, personally. By far not the funniest thing I have ever read, though. But obviously, it was supposed to be funny, it was supposed to be a joke. Maybe you didn't think it was funny, all right, that's fine, but don't criticize him for trying to make jokes about LotR in the first place, criticize him for not being able to make good jokes, for having a bad sense of humor.
You ought to be able to at least smile at well-done jokes and parodies of something, otherwise you're being a bit too serious.
People who are just blatantly stupid, on the other hand, are another matter. I have seen some of these really stupid people put some really stupid things online. That's when you just roll your eyes and close the window.
