Bullshit---that fact that idiots and assholes misquote and miss-characterize a work of literature has nothing to do with the literature. Your assumption that it does is right in there with their misuse. Now if this was meant in jest, your hints as to such use are really hard to see---use darker ink next time...
Ah! That is a statement with which I agree completely. Although given his audience had he used anything normal to his generation, the target of his remarks would have been completely confused. They don't understand even their 'own' culture, let alone anyone else's. In fact I'm not sure they understand anything except the bizarre notions that pass for 'truth' among them.

Tolkien is officially no longer cool. When stuffed up pretentious windbags are using his works to insult each other it's time to move on.
So with Tolkien done and Superheros on the way out what's next?

I shall use that darker ink next time. It was supposed to be a comment about old people trying to be cool by using things from pop culture.
