Yes, that is what I also think... if the parodies offend the content of the story they aren't funny anymore, but just offensive and stupid.

I kind of agree with you FF, I mean some parodies are completely awful, inappropriate, and insulting. But, I have seen some that are good. It just depends on the ones you've seen and read I guess.

I think that parody can often be a nice way to pay homage to something as long as it's done in a respectful way.
yes, exactly what I feel, and very nicely put _________________ <center>

Aw, I saw it and I liked it.  It was pretty much nothing like LotR. I love the umbrella guy...  _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

Lord of the Rings parodies are as any other form of humor. If they are cleverly written, they are good. If they fall in the same way most humor does and has obscene content, they should be shunned.

I like some of the LOTR parodies, but the two that I think are the worst are slash and Frodo and Sam love each other. it's just a close firendship!   _________________  Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.
