Frodo as Gollum?

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I wonder if it's only me but the link doesn't seem to be working. Anyway, I think I've seen that kind of pic before that you're talking about and I have to say that I wouldn't probably like a scene involving it. I like to think that the impact of the ring was something that had an effect on its bearer from inside, like mentally. Gollum had had "family troubles" after finding the ring and he was banished. He crawled into the caves of Misty Mountains and there his body adjusted itself to the dark and barren environment. The ring consumed his mind rather than his body. His appearance was a consequence of the corruption of his mind.

Now, if we play with this theory, if Frodo had kept the ring, would his appearance have decayed or only his mind? Like, would Frodo have changed his diet, become afraid of the sun, wandered to the mountains, or what? Okay, Maybe I strayed a bit off topic...so basicly: I wouldn't like it. And besides, I agree with The Only Real Estel about that there's no suitable place for it in RotK.
