Wise is spelled with an "s", helka, that is the issue with that.

Comparing evil with evil seems to be totally kosher to me. Burra's point was that evil isn't funny. If you don't find Hitler funny, then you shouldn't find Sauron funny. One is fictional, but both do evil things in the context of their reality. This has gone severely off topic, but given the fact that the Sil isn't actually funny, I suppose that was bound to happen.
