I hope this is a joke... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It is funny to look at it and laugh with the guy who made it...

He obviously was making a good joke out of it and was not really trying to start something. Those that think otherwise need to be sacked.

I am so glad to happen upon this thread! My cousin read these out from the webpage back in December when ROTK was released. I laughed so incredibly hard and I have been trying to find it again for a while now. It's completely hilarious I laughed all over again re-reading them. It's really brilliant!

Thanks!

The thread would be of better quality (and a whole lot shorter) if everyone actually read the entire thread before posting.

Because (for approximately the 30th time) this site was a parody.

ok, i know that the site was a parody, but the sad thing is, some of the people reading it actually believe what he's saying. go to the forum on the site! There are people actually saying and believing that PJ novelized the movie then PRETENDED that JRR Tolkien wrote it in the 50's!! HOW IGNORANT! i understand that it was meant to be a joke, but some jokes shouldn't go that far. especially # 13 on the site. way out of line. im sure "doctor oxford" meant no harm, just it kinda ticks me off that someone could HATE lord of the rings and THEN write a parody. its not exactly respectful. and the message board really got me going, but ill let it go. after all, what do they know? lol, hopefully nobody thinks im crazy for being a little ticked at this site.

I cannot understand why you would be ticked at it. I just do not fully understand some people. What is there left to discuss about this? Why is this thread still open?

Barrow-wight, end this madness. I beg you.

Oh come on, the whole thing is filled with stuff like that.

I have to agree with Eomer on why the thread is still open, it's good for the link to the site but hasn't been worth a lot more lately...

I third that, this particular list has been discussed at least 3 times in my memory, if not more!

Enough is enough, people!

Alternatively, a few friends and I have been speculating whether the BW was a member of the PPC Board.

Is this true, BW? there's quite a few of us 'Downies...more specifically, Mirthies...there.

I have just seen this website and am filled with an odd mixture of rage, disgust and annoyance that has been left to cool for 5 minutes and put in the freezer, now I've composed myself and feel inclined to write about it, I know it's just a parody but it really annoyed me, I have a good sense of humour but this is just ridiculous.

Sorry to be overtly graphic but this is the sort of site that makes me want to violently spew my intestines.
Unfortunately I do believe that some people do not have the intellectual/ emotional capacity to understand a story so deep and moving as LotR and thus have to resort to what is effectively childish name calling...

This really does anger me to extreme levels
