Yeah, saw this, it was hilarious. Honestly, speaking as someone who instigated what may be the most controversial thread in r/tolkienfans' history by criticizing the tight-assed way C Tolkien has protected his father's legacy, this was the line that made me laugh the hardest:

    The Lord of the Rings: A New English Translation was published on September 22, 2007. The Tolkien Estate immediately filed suit against me for copyright infringement.

It really works after 16 bawdy translation jokes in a row.
