"Frodo Failed."

1/28/03, 7:04 pm EST - Tehanu

There's a picture doing the rounds of the Net with George Bush's hand shown in closeup, wearing the One Ring. It's been used as a poster image at peace marches in the US and elsewhere, and of course Ringers forward us 5 or 6 copies of it daily, which clogs our mail a bit. We posted that image more than a year ago and it triggered an orgy of insults and namecalling between Ringers who are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Not a pretty sight nor one I want to see repeated - most people come here to relax, after all. So please, STOP SENDING US THE "FRODO FAILED" picture. Thanks!
