I see stupid people...

...or, at least, read the stupid stuff they write. From SFX Magazine:

Each of the nine members of the Fellowship (bar John Rhys-Davies, who sent his stunt double) had the white tree of Gondor tattooed upon their person.

Because, y'know, the elvish symbol for 9 looks exactly like the tree of Gondor.

Dumbasses.

Um. Say what?

Ahahaha... silly people. I've read all sorts of things about the tattoos. Celtic designs? Their names in Elvish? Huh?

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but, like, TREE? Where the hell did they get that from?

...maybe they've been reading Dom's hands a little too often...

I'm still so unimpressed by the idea that JRD "sent his stunt double in his place." Sounds kind of feudal.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Bad phrasing on stupid writer's part, methinks. Didn't JRD have a needle phobia or something?

Mmm, feudalism...

[jubilancy.livejournal.com]

I dunno about phobias, but you're right, I was reacting to the phrasing.

that's funneh. just last night i was thinking that the white tree of gondor would make a cool tattoo in white ink. heh.

It WOULD make a cool tattoo. Pretty and stuff.

But the elvish nine still doesn't look anything like a tree.
