It took for a while for me also to realize that the writer wasn't serious...
And it took a dancing spawn of ungoliant to realize a bit more about the writer...

But really, it made me laugh at some points.

Oh I am so embarrassed. It took me until the bit where it said Elijah Wood was English to realise that it was in fact a complete joke!

That's me too. I finally caught on with Elijah Wood being British and Ian McKellen being from Alabama...

I have to admit I didn't realise it was a joke until

Ha ha! That's what I wanted to see- how long until you knew it was not serious.

upon realising this person was not simply stupid

You're wrong about that, Kath. I assure you, the author was 100% in silly/stupid mode during the 20 minutes that was spent slapping the thing together. If being surrounded by half a dozen giggling teeny-boppers didn't make the author sillier than usual, then surely all the sugar shots they had been doing did (sugar shots- you know those packets of sugar in restaurants for coffee that sit on the table, everyone takes one, tears off the top, and downs the whole thing, then you repeat about 10 or 15 times).

And, by the way, the one that got my friends and I was Jaromir Jagr as Arwen. We ended up on floor. Every time I click on that pic I just crack up.

And Spawn, you're a clever girl. But I'm afraid Beth beat you to it.

I thought it was serious right up until the part about Elijah Wood being the only real Brit. Up until that point, I was just like, "***?"
Oi!

ETA: Wow, strict! I can't even type a "w" followed by a "t" followed by a "f" on here! Whoaness.

I was having my chain pulled until I read about McKellen's Alabamian accent. Then I realized 'twas a gag.
