Imagine him having to place an acknowledgement to the hoxers in the credits for helping him find Mordor.

However, this development by the hoaxers does not appear to be based so entirely on the film, as none of the characters in the photo look like the film characters. Is this appropriating Tolkien for their own political agenda?

tar and feathering Tolkien

I'm trying to understand how this political satire using Mordor is acceptable but the Calgary children's summer camp use of Rivendell is not.
