A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

We've been debating a number of "heavy", serious subjects here at BMDO lately, so I thought I would just throw something funny out here for you guys to enjoy. I can't claim credit for this; it was actually written by one of my students, an 18 year old named John. He gave me permission to share it here; I've done a very minor bit of grammatical/spelling correctioin, but other than that, here it is as he wrote it. All of them are funny, but the Beck parody is absolutely hilarious!
THE ELROND FACTOR
Welcome, viewers, you have just entered the No-Spin Zone!
Tonight on The Factor: Has Sauron's war on Middle Earth gone too far? Also, is the Mordor left unfairly criticizing the conservative Fellowship movement? And, do the Black Gates of Mordor send the wrong message to Mordor's southern neighbors, or are they a necessary precaution for border security? You'll find out, now!!
LEGOLAS AND GIMLI:
GIMLI: In our top story, rumors have been circulating that the Dark Lord was actually born across the sea and not in Middle Earth, as he claims. Patriotic citizens are protesting Mordor to release a birth certificate -
LEGOLAS: Mine dwelling dwarves might come to such a conclusion, but we both know that this is merely racial prejudice against -
GIMLI: That's nonsense! The Free Peoples of Middle Earth -
LEGOLAS: Free? Tell that to the orcs who are denied a fair wage!
GIMLI: Oh, please! If orcs would get out and work, the free market -
LEGOLAS: Oh, and I suppose the fat cats in Rohan who collapsed the economy -
GIMLI: That would be Sauron's party's opressive financial policies!
LEGOLAS: You bitter Dwarves are all alike, clinging to your axes and your Eru!
GIMLI: (Sighs)
THE GANDALF BECK SHOW
Good afternoon, friends. The Founding Elves had a vision for Middle Earth. One in which anyone could live in their fort, mountain mine, or hobbit hole without Mordor's interference. Thomas Bombadil warned that men who quested for Rings of Power would be corrupted, and that those with the One Ring of Power would be corrupted absolutely. And. They. Were. Just like he said. Yet these same mad men run our government, Sauron, the Witch King, even the King of Rohan is bewitched by Grima Wormtongue! Don't take my word on it! Gaze into the Palantir and see for yourselves!
"Well, it's not in my neighborhood!" you might say, but look at Isengard! No one would have thought the head of the White Council would fall to Sauron, but he has! Khazad-dum is now a wasteland, Rohan does nothing, the Shire is being burnt to the ground! Will Rivendell be next? I pray to Eru it won't, but I just don't know anymore. This whole time the Ring was right in front of us! Isildur could have destroyed it, but instead we were too afraid. I'll tell you, not only how to destroy the Ring, but how to restore Middle Earth, restore our families, and restore ourselves. After the break.
Not bad satire for an 18 year old!
