Return of the King Wins Four Golden Globes

stubear writes "According to MSNBC, 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' won 4 Golden Globes, for Best Picture - Drama, Best Director (Peter Jackson), Best Original Score (Howard Shore), and Best Original Song ("Into the West" by Howard Shore, Fran Walsh and Annie Lennox). LotR: RotK was the big winner for the night, at least for movies. Hopefully LotR: RotK will fare just as well, or better, at the Oscars."

I think that the original poster was trying (unsuccessfully) to be sarcastic. Calm down :)

I am also offended as an Englishman. As a nation we were appalled with the attacks on the Twin Towers (Note, not the Two Towers) and we have suffered enough terrorist attacks ourselves (although admittedly, not on this scale) over the years to be extremely sensitive to the victims of ANY terrorist attack (bali, etc).

I'd like to point out that the total body count from the IRA is actually about the same as from the 9/11 bombings (c. 3000), although they took about 40 years to get to the same level.

Considering that the IRA got most of their funding from the US (specifically from the greater Boston area, where I used to live), I think that the PP is being quite compassionate. And to the credit of the US people, IRA funding from the US dried up within days of the attacks.

You must be new here. Let me show you around a bit.

You must be the new one.

Why do people take obviously sarcastic posts seriously?
